A dresser. A crib. A toy box. If it’s near a window, it could be a launchpad. Move it away to move your child out of danger. Rearranging furniture = rearranging the odds. Even one small shift can prevent a big accident. Also, remember, a screen may stop a fly but not a fall.

Screens are NOT safety devices. Don’t rely on them to protect your child. Please share this video and help us raise awareness of window safety.
