Abstract: A child safety device for balustrades designed to minimize or restrict child access to the open space between balusters, while preserving the spatial configuration and aesthetic appeal of the balustrade. The device comprises of an obstructing member secured by means of connection to one or more adjacent balusters, thereby blocking a portion of the gap substantially enough to minimize child access. The device leaves substantial space between the balusters open in order to not alter the visual perception of the balustrade and its surroundings. The obstructing members are preferably composed of the same material as the adjacent balusters and designed aesthetically so as to appear as part of the balustrade.
