Children Safety Nets in Chennai – What do parents wish they installed sooner?

As every parent will tell you, no one minds installing a safety net but plenty wish they had installed theirs sooner.

The realisation

It tends to happen on a regular day when you realise your baby has started crawling or your toddler has suddenly run towards the balcony door.

You then realise how many windows/ ledges and stairs you have!

The balcony

The balcony is something nearly everyone mentions. Kids love their view and having plants.

Having a baby safety net will give you some peace of mind knowing there is no chance of them falling through the gaps in the rails.

• Readiness for crawling.

• Covers gaps in rail.

• Prevents climbing.

• Keeps toys in.

Windows

Windows are often overlooked as they seem safe, you have the grille. However they have gaps and children love to poke and push through them to climb onto the sills.

A window safety net will help reduce the gaps and let air through. Many parents mention that these were the last ones to be added but wished they had added them first.

• Covers gaps in the grille.

• Air can flow through.

• Prevents climbing onto sills.

• Works well with grilles.

Stairs

If you live in a duplex, villa or independent house then stairs can cause worry. The biggest issue is the open sides and large gaps in the rails. This could mean your small child falls through or over.

A staircase safety net will cover the open sides and help with the bigger kids who love racing up and downstairs. Something that you don’t really consider until you get your first scare!

Kids Safety for Apartments

Kids safety for apartments can be quite simple. Simply have a walk through your flat with your phone noting anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

• Check the balcony rails.

• Check windows.

• Test door locks.

• Check for climbable furniture.

• Check the edges of stairs.

Most families will have 2 or 3 points that they wish to improve. Don’t worry this is normal and can be improved.

What parents regret

When talking to parents we always get the same answers. Nearly none of them are about the net itself but more about the timing.

• Too late!

• Cheap nets.

• DIY install.

• No window nets.

Why wait?

Although it may seem like you can wait until they are running around, babies move faster than you expect! The time between crawling and walking is short.

Also it is much easier to install when you have a quiet house. Also if you have a second child later you won’t have to install a net.

Things to consider when buying

Don’t go for the cheapest option. The weather in Chennai is humid and salty so fittings will corrode quicker.

• UV treated Nylon.

• No rusting fittings.

• Tightly stretched.

• Measured to size.
