Whilst a lot of blinds room darkening come with a cord, we do not advise to choose blackout shades with cord. Kids can easily reach the cord and strangle themselves or destroy the blackout shades baby room or kids room.
Blackout Curtains
If we stay at the windows there is another option we can choose from. This being curtains. Whilst there are special curtains for kids, we need to see that the fabric is thick enough to block light.
