Baby gates should be an important part of every home with children. Baby gates safely block off different parts of the house that are potentially dangerous to toddlers such as staircases. If there are any areas of the house that your toddler should not be going to yet, then find a baby gate. Ideally, baby gates should be easy to install, sturdy and safe for your toddler. Some guidelines for buying baby gates are:

  • A frame that connects to a door frame and does not have any gaps for the heads or fingers of children
  • There should be less than a one or two inch gap between the floor and the bottom of the gate.
  • The slats should be no more than 3 centimeters apart to prevent children from getting caught
  • Be sure there are no sharp edges.
  • Do not use gates with potential foot holds.

The most important features of the baby gates are the ones that will keep your child safe. Keep that in mind while you are looking for baby gates.

Baby Gate Installation
If your baby gate did not come with the proper hardware to install it in places other than wooden doorways, or on wall studs, don't worry, most don't. The solution is to buy a mounting kit that will allow you to install the baby gate almost anywhere in your home.
