Safety 1st Securtech Auto-Close Metal Gate, Easy to Use, Quick and Easy to Install. 6-24 months, White

Product Information

While most stair gates average around 75cm in height, the YOOFOR retractable mesh gate reaches 85cm, making it more suitable for dogs or adventurous children who might try to jump over. Plus, this gate is made from sturdy, yet soft mesh making it a little more forgiving for little ones who may accidently trip or bump into the gate. Ours is a Lindam branded one. The gates are really sturdy and secure, but they do have a bar at the bottom on the floor, which some people don't like in case it's a trip hazard - but we've had no problems."

Safety 1st Easy Close Extra Tall Gate, Pressure Fit Safety Safety 1st Easy Close Extra Tall Gate, Pressure Fit Safety

We have a Cuggl extending one as we have a larger than usual gap between the wall and last banister of the stairs (the only place to attach it). It's also an unequal shape (think like a vase) and it's worked perfectly." (Vetted by Mumsnetter SnowdropFox) Our verdict We have a pressure fit gate at the top of the stairs with the minimum bottom bar, think it's called the flat step. We also bought rubber cups for the wall and the gate is totally solid, you could never shake it loose. The flat step is great too, not totally flat but flat enough you wouldn't trip on it." (Recommended by Mumsnet user GD12) Our verdict Some stair gates boast specific safety features, which can help to ensure your gate is installed and used in the safest possible way. Here are a few features you might like to look out for:An opening mechanism that can be operated with one hand, so that you can safely use the gate while carrying a baby or toddler The mesh ones that you just need one hand for are better, some gates are ridiculous, we accidentally bought one that takes 2 hands to open so impossible when holding a baby.” (Stair gate design recommended by Mumsnetter, SnuggyBuggy) Our verdict The Cuggl Wall Fix Safety Gate is a fuss-free, wall-mounted gate, so it’s suitable for use at the top and bottom of a staircase as well as in doorways. While it may not have the handy features of a retractable or pressure-fit stair gate, it’s a good, sturdy option with a price tag to match its simplicity. If you’re only planning to have a stair gate in position for a short time, or if you're unable to drill into your walls or bannister, a pressure-fit gate will be the better option. Is it better to put a stair gate at the top or the bottom of the stairs? Pressure-fit gates are very safe for use at the bottom of a staircase or in a doorway, as long as they’re installed correctly and regularly tightened as necessary.

My concern with stairs isn't that they may come close but that it's easy to trip over the bottom bar when carrying my baby and other stuff down. No trip ones don’t have the bar and are screwed in.
