Patented Child Safety Device Prevents Tragic Window Falls

July 13, 2010 - PRLog -- MARLBOROUGH, Mass  – Child-proofing the home most often involves baby gates at stairwells, locking cabinets, and covering electrical outlets. However, securing windows to prevent falls is chronically overlooked. Window screens are not enough. Children must be protected by installing window guards designed to be removed quickly in case of fire.

According to Safe Kids USA, over 4,000 children under the age of ten fall from windows annually resulting in injury or death. Moreover, while people think of accidents happening in high rise apartments, many children are injured in falls from first and second story windows as well. This is easily prevented by installing a patented “fire fighter friendly” Guardian Angel Window Guard.  

Featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, Guardian Angel Window Guards are ideal safety devices for homes, daycare centers, pediatricians’ offices, public buildings – any windowed areas where children could conceivably fall.

Guardian Angel Window Guards are designed with less than 4 inches of space between bars to prevent small children from crawling through. End posts attach to window frames with screws so the guard is installed securely. Release buttons are secure from curious little fingers but allow for quick removal by adults in case of emergency. The patented design enables fire fighters to easily remove the guard from the outside in the event of fire.

Constructed of durable steel that can withstand the weight of a child, Guardian Angel Window Guards are easily installed with a screwdriver or drill and feature sliding bars which fit windows of various widths and heights. Multiple guards can be stacked or installed next to each other to cover extra wide or extra high openings. The guards are available in a sleek glossy white finish that does not interfere with décor.
