[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the kids have second floor bedrooms and need a ladder to throw out the window and climb down in case of a fire. We have talked with them about this but not sure about demonstrating it. I’m mostly worried that once we show them how to unlock the windows (we have the safety bars) they might do it for fun, which is very dangerous. Or they might leave the window open. Kids are 4, 6, and 8. [/quote] We considered it but decided against them. There is no way to actually practice with them. If you undo them they are almost impossible to get back in. One we looked at specifically said that it was a one time use only. Looking at them closely we realized that it was likely going to be difficult to use the ladder in a panic situation. The don't adhere to the house and kind of sway and we thought our kids while scared and panicky they would likely not be able to navigate using the ladder. [/quote]
