Wanted Window Guards

Our daughter is crawling and pulling up and I suspect will be walking soon. As we do enjoy having the windows open in nice weather I am looking for guards for the windows. Anyone have any experience buying these locally or have any that are lightly used that I could purchase? Words of wisdom?

Thanks

 

I just open our windows down from the top, instead of the bottom.

 

hm. that would be great if our windows did that. bummer. good idea!

 

We got ours from One Step Ahead. Installed very easy and made us feel better about opening the wondows. I cringe when I see the neighbors kids leaning on a screen from the third floor bedroom window.

They also have a way to get them out quickly in case of fire.

An alternative to using the bars is to only open the windows a relatively small amount and then use a window lock to keep it from opening further. It's simple and easy. You still have to decide how wide to open the window for your comfort level, both for temperature and fear of falling.
