Preparing for a new baby is as exciting as it is daunting. Imagining your baby growing up and walking down the stairs to school is heartwarming, but those stairs need to be blocked off until they get their coordination. Bath time will surely bring fun memories, but the toilet and cabinets must be child-proofed. Decorating the nursery is thrilling, but are those shades safe? This last question is especially popular, as many shades feature hazardous dangling cords. Does this mean you must ditch shades until your baby is old enough to know not to chew or play with them? Of course not. Hunter Douglas offers several child-friendly shades with operating systems that let you enjoy the shade, privacy, filtered light, and peace of mind.
