A clear or mesh type of balcony shield or banister guard for babies is a safety product that helps to keep children safe when playing in areas next to balconies and banisters. Babyproofing stair railings is an important activity for your home.
As you childproof other areas in your house such as the windows, doors, stairs or even kid’s beds, it is important to also shield the kids from falling through the banister and balcony openings.
These shields also keep the pets safe from falls and also prevent kids from using these openings to throw things such as toys away or downstairs. Creating a barrier to prevent the child from accessing the openings also plays a great role in preventing their head, arms or legs from getting stuck in between the spindles/rails.
