Product Information

While pressure-fit gates can be used at the bottom of a staircase, or in a doorway or other narrow openings, they’re not suitable for the top of a staircase, as the bottom bar of the frame can pose a trip hazard. This gate is designed for children up to 24 months. However, this guidance should be constantly monitored against your child’s own development, as individual children’s skills do develop at different ages When fitted as instructed, between two clean structurally sound surfaces, this product conforms to EN 1930:2011 When you have a safety gate, you can make it flexible by adding extensions. That would allow it to also fit different and wider openings. This can be useful if, for example, you move to a new home or if you want to use the safety gate somewhere else in your house. This also means that you will not have to buy a new gate. In BabyDan’s product range, you can find extensions in many different sizes and colours - there are extensions for all safety gates and purposes. However, keep in mind that you can only extend your safety gate if it is pressure mounted. You also need to keep in mind that some gates need wall cups if you add extensions. Some gates can be extended pretty much indefinitely (such as BabyDan Flex and BabyDan OLAF), but others have limitations. You can also add a section with an extra door if you need more entrances to the area behind the gate. This might be a good idea if you want to turn your gate into a room divider, and selection of an extension also depends on what kind of safety gate you have and what your needs are. Always keep the barrier in the closed position for the safety of your child and yourself as well as other users

Retractable stair gates: formed from a flexible material like mesh that rolls or folds up when not in use. Important: The screws provided are only intended for fixing into wood. If fixing into other material, use appropriate screws and wall plugs (diameter 4 mm)When testing and selecting the best stair gates we considered, safety, ease of installation, suitability, fit and value. Although the Safety 1st SecureTech Flat Step Safety Gate is the only pressure-fit gate that claims to be able to be used at the top of a staircase, we still think it’s preferable to use a screw-fit, wall-mounted gate wherever possible. This leaves far less room for error and, once the gate is installed correctly, it won’t shift even if your child pulls on it. There’s also no ground bar to cause a trip hazard. Within these two categories, there are a few other features that can form part of the identity of a stair gate. For example: Although the BabyDan Guard Me is safe for use anywhere in your home, the best stair gate for use at the top of the stairs is the Safety 1st Wall Fix Extending Metal Gate, which is also the best screw-fit stair gate we tested.

Pressure-fit stair gates are ideal for use in rented accommodation as installation requires absolutely no drilling. This type of stair gate comprises a U-shaped metal frame, which squeezes against your wall or bannister, holding the gate in place through pressure alone. It often requires a small cup to be applied to your wall with an adhesive, which the bolts of the gate then sit in. Once we’d selected the 14 best stair gates for our shortlist, our tester, Katja Lakha, installed them one at a time in her home. Katja is a busy mum with three children (girls aged one and four, and a seven-year-old boy), so each gate was put through its paces. The gates were tested for at least one to two weeks each in busy areas of Katja’s home. Screw-fit stair gates are mounted onto your walls, screwing into your wall or bannister. The major advantage of this style is that the gate is secure and won’t move around once it’s installed, but the screws will cause minor damage to your walls that will need filling when the gate is removed. Screw-fit gates can be used in a variety of ways: at the top or bottom of a staircase, or in a doorway or other narrow opening. Pressure-fit stair gates Both, if possible.
