We use the GRO ANYWHERE BLACKOUT BLIND which is great as it suckers on to the window and adjusts to any window size. We also take it on holiday.]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:33:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1428204&title=blackout-curtains#1428204 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1427951&title=blackout-curtains#1427951 Author: SamanthaK

I am not a curtain person so I went for blackout roller blinds for my children's rooms. I was lucky enough to find them in cordless design, which is believed to be 100% safe for use inside homes with children as i found out after some serious research and came across http://laair.org/cordless-blinds.html]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:05:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1427951&title=blackout-curtains#1427951 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426845&title=blackout-curtains#1426845 Author: AbzandH

We did the same here as squoggs, it's really made a difference, plus it really helps to keep the heat out later in the day and the heat in in winter. Well worth the price (especially with 60% off) plus you would be able to take them with you :)]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:23:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426845&title=blackout-curtains#1426845 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426742&title=blackout-curtains#1426742 Author: Shelt

I do have blackout curtains for my DD (from Harvey Furnishings) but I found that she still needed something more to block out the light. I brought a large sheet of polysitrine and I just prop it between the window and the curtain at night and take it down during the day. It makes a big difference to cutting down the light in her room.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:19:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426742&title=blackout-curtains#1426742 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426736&title=blackout-curtains#1426736 Author: squoggs

we just bought some block-out blinds for our 19mo, she had the same problem. Briscoes have them on sale for 60% off at the mo I think, they are a really nice neutral cream colour but work really well to make it a lot darker (I was a bit apprehensive until I saw them in action)]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:55:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426736&title=blackout-curtains#1426736 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426596&title=blackout-curtains#1426596 Author: tishy

We rent our house. What we did was measure the windows and then buy the curtain material from Spotlight. We then used double sided sticky velcro to stick the material up around the window pane. Works a treat!


When travelling we have used big blankets to darken the room, this worked too just a bit more awkward to set up each evening.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:55:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426596&title=blackout-curtains#1426596 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426563&title=blackout-curtains#1426563 Author: Keleho

DD is a quite slow to settle at night and Im wondering if it may be too light in her room. No matter how early we start her bedtime routine, she always falls asleep as its getting dusky outside - about 830-9pm. She generally goes to bed at 8pm but we have been trying to gradually pull it back with no luck, she will always fall asleep at the later time.

If you have used blackout curtains for a similar situation, has it made a difference??
We dont own our house and she has a lot of windows in her room so I wouldnt likely get 'proper' blackout curtains due to the cost - what has worked for you? Was thinking maybe towels or blankets attached to the back somehow but not sure how well that would work....

Any advice welcome ]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:34:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41450&PID=1426563&title=blackout-curtains#1426563
