Yes. CPSC reports that about nine children under 5 die every year from strangling in window coverings with cords, and it calls cordless blinds, shades and draperies the safest option. Where corded blinds stay, keep the cords short and out of reach, and move cribs, beds and furniture away from windows.
Inside mount looks cleaner and shows off the window trim, but the window needs enough depth to hold the headrail. Outside mount covers the whole frame, blocks more light around the edges, and works on shallow or out-of-square windows.
Above the window frame and extended past each side, so the curtains can stack off the glass and the window looks larger. The brackets should land in the framing above the window or in anchors rated for the weight of the drapes, and long rods need a center bracket to stop sagging.
If a blind or rod bracket is pulling out of the wall, or a corded blind hangs in a room where a young child sleeps, take it down or tie the cords up out of reach now. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can remount it solidly or swap it for a cordless covering.
