That makes installing a window gate or guard important. Remember that they should be strong enough to prevent a fall, but also meet the latest standards so that they can be easily opened in case of a fire.
A window guard can be a good idea even if you are on the first floor, so that your child can't get out of the house through a low, open window.
Remember that you should not depend on a screen to keep your kids from falling out of a window.
