Q: Are window guards on each window essential?

A: "A screen will not protect a child from falling out of a window," says Kathy Moineau, a window safety specialist, and founder of Safe Tots.

A check list:

• Install a window guard on each window – starting when your child begins to pull himself up.
• Open windows from the top.
• Install latches to keep windows from opening far enough for a child to slip through.
• Move furniture away from windows. Keep windowsills clear of things that would attract a child’s interest.
• Shorten long cords for blinds and draperies and keep them out of your child’s reach – they could cause a child to be strangled.
