Abstract

The present invention relates to a child-resistant roller blind lifting fixing rod and a use method thereof. The child-resistant roller blind lifting fixing rod includes a guide rail rod body and a lifting handle, where accommodating cavities are disposed on two sides of the guide rail rod body along an axial direction in a cut-through manner; the lifting handle includes a housing slidably sleeved on the guide rail rod body along the axial direction and a first handle control piece and a second handle control piece correspondingly mounted on two sides of the housing, and each of the first handle control piece and the second handle control piece is provided with a triggering end and a clamping portion corresponding to the traction piece of a roller blind. The overall operation of the present invention is safe and reliable, and thus can prevent from being pulled by children.
