Design and Features
IKEA never fail to impress when it comes to well designed baby gear and these Tuppler block out blinds are no exception. They come in black and white and in seven different sizes but can be cut to shape for any size window.
The blind cord is fixed to the wall for your baby’s safety.
Performance and Drawbacks
These acrylic backed cotton blinds block out 100% of the sun and can be hung from the wall or ceiling. Because they can be cut to size you can over-fit a window to prevent creepage around the sides.
Hanging blind cords pose a real safety risk to toddlers so the safety features are reassuring.
Conclusion
When I first investigated getting block out blinds for my little guy’s room I was knocked over by the price of a professional set up. These IKEA ones are so cheap and easy to install by a handy parent that I don’t know why you would consider anything else.
Also I don’t know anywhere else you can get white block out blinds.

IKEA Notice re: installation
Ikea's website has a page for a recall of their roman and roller blinds.
I've read it - basically they're concerned that people may not have installed the cords on the blinds correctly. They have new installation instructions on the website. It doesn't seem to be a fault with the product.

I'd still consider purchasing the blinds but be extra cautious with installing them correctly.
