In the warm season, we will gladly break the windows and let fresh air filled with flavors of flowers, enjoy the singing of birds, the sounds of rain and the rust of the leaves on the trees. Unfortunately, these delights of the spring-summer season have consistently accompany mosquitoes, flies, buzzing and stigma insects, an annoying poplar fluff and an omnipresent pollen of plants.

The cause of the death of babies, and the victims of grids are mostly children from 1 year to 7 years, it becomes a drop in height and accompanying his head injuries, spine and internal organs.
Plastic windows themselves open very easily, any child is able to cope with the handle, and the presence of a grid on the window opening creates a feeling of security. The kid is not able to estimate the reliability of the mesh fastening, clogs on it and easily falls out of the window.
Even more often, the kids do not even have to make efforts when opening the window, parents left the windows during the ventilation of the room, even without thinking about the fact that a child, as a creature very mobile, in the blink of an eye may be on the windowsill. But especially amazing the cases of the naive carelessness of moms and dads, who allow children to admire views from the window and play on the windowsill, in this case, the trouble can happen at any second and prevent it will be impossible.
Stories from life
Outside the window heard the explosions of Petard and the fantasies of festive fireworks were filled into the sky. Veroht climbed to the windowsill, the spectacle fascinated. Baby leaned on the grid and fell out of the window.
Illusory defense
Such stories, unfortunately, the set and their number continues to grow. And what is surprising, parents themselves are often underestimated «reliability» Mosquito net.
Mostly installed mosquito nets installed on the windows are not certified in Russia. This itself should push the imperfection of products. Since in the absence of another window protection, we have to use a dubious product, you should not hope for its safety.
Mosquito net is attached to the window frame with flip plastic or metal corners, they are not able to keep the design with a significant nage. Moreover, if the grid is not removed for the winter, low temperatures make their own business, plastic becomes fragile, which further increases the danger of the product.
Standard Frame Mosquito Mesh is made of aluminum profile, in the grooves of the tensioned on the rubber cord, a cellular plastic canvas. Even if it is possible to securely secure the frame, the cellular canvas is easily squeezed out of it, and the child decorated on the grid falls outward.
Attention! Mosquito net is designed to hold mosquitoes, but not able to withstand the weight of the child, even if it is strengthened and equipped with additional locks.
How to protect children?
Of course, to explain to the child where the danger is lurking, you need. But children, due to their age, are very inquisitive and emotional, they have no sense of danger under 5 years old, so the conversations will be clearly not enough.
To eliminate the threat of a baby's life, you need to protect your habitat.
- A small child should not stay unattended in the room with an open window.
- The kid must be deprived of the opportunity to climb the window sill, for this he needs to move away the furniture from the window.
- If the child is in the house, open the windows only for vertical ventilation.
- Suppose windows with knobs with locks, locks, limiters, chains — All that will not allow the child to open the window more than a few centimeters.
- If you want to show the child view from the window, hold it tightly and be prepared for its sharp movements.
More details I want to stay on special children's security locks, the keys from which should be from parents. Such locks allow the child to open a vertical window in vertical mode, the width of the slit does not exceed 7-9 cm, this is enough to prevent the kid fall out from the window, but it is enough for an effective air exchange.
Remember! Installing mesh, locks, locks, chains on windows only professionals. Do not save on the safety of children.
Mosquito net — This is a reliable and tested way to get rid of annoying insects, the absence of which certainly helps to create a comfortable atmosphere in the house, allows you to keep health, protect yourself and loved ones from carrying mosquitoes and allergies. However, do not forget about security.
For the delicate parents of the dead children, our instructions are already unnecessary, they got a cruel lesson of life. But their experience must make the pond and moms and save the lives of other children.
