My advice would be to deploy it first, and then hook it onto the inside of the house. That way you don’t have to reach down to deploy it, you just drop it out of the window after it’s hooked.
This is a great video! I watched 6 before yours and none of them showed my actual concern which was how exactly does it go on the window and would it actually hold my weight having a very thin molding around the window itself. You are a great dad! Wow, thanks so much for making this video ❤
I watched this particular video just because of the terrace picture. I wanted to see how it fits onto the the rails because that’s what I need it for -my terrace.
We just had a fire in our complex few days ago, it was a complete chaos, i didn't realized that bit be so scary until it happened. I live on the second floor so i am contemplating of buying this
Great review! I'm thinking of making or improving one of the rope ladder style instead? I'm not impressed by these things especially when they are $50+
What if the kids were to undo the rip tab prior to engaging the ladder over the window well? I think this would be a highly effective means to use as a countermeasure due to its current design. It's so much easier to look at a problem rather than solving one with a simple countermeasure, such as explained..
If the kids don't open and close the window regularly and given the height of the second story bedroom, they may not be a need for the screen to begin with? A screen is merely a way to keep insects out. if the kids don't open and close the window regularly, then you may as well just take the screen out permanently. Another option would be to have a utility knife on a string or chain in the windowsill solely for the purpose of cutting away a square hole in the screen so that the kids can fit through. This would also ensure that the kids wouldn't just fall through the window on their way out, but rather have to crawl through the whole made with a knife as reassurance for someone that may be afraid of heights. Again, these are just suggestions but easily overcome obstacles as there is no one size fits all emergency ladder scenario when it comes to fire safety. It's up to the homeowner to utilize the tools provided by the manufacturer in the way that best supports ones needs. It's simply a ladder that's meant to be a means to escape harm and prevent death. It's not perfect, but it sure as hell beats jumping out that window.

Could an extension strap be stitched on so the littles could deploy it easier?

Can't find the video of how to fold it up again. Please post the link.
Super helpful, thank you!
Why is it a one-time use ?
I can't imagine how you get through the window onto the ladder or how kids could practice climbing out there. Because if they can't do that...
Very helpful. Thanks.

He didnt mention that this Kidde ladder can only be used with a window sill that is 11 inches wide or less. My sills are 15 inches wide, so no bueno.
Is this reusable?
when u look on there website it says no but he also said he made a video showing us how we can reuse it!
Nice.
😂😂 Yeah it's a one time use😂😂 It's made of nylon! If there's a fire in the house, the heat is extreme and it's no longer safe for further use......
If there no fire and u use it can u reuse it?
