Babies are curious little creatures. It’s a known fact. A baby on action will try to reach for everything that can catch their attention. Whether it is in the kitchen, in the garden, down the stairs or up the stairs. Therefore, using baby gates for stairs and baby safety gates can make your life much easier by keeping your child safer from stairs and hazards when you are not watching. Moreover baby safety gates and baby gates for stairs can also be used to separate your child from the pet (or vice-versa). Because children can be rough on your animal, it can be a good idea to keep them separated when you are not around. Baby gates for stairs and child safety gates are intended for children less than 6 24 months of age because older children can easily figure out how to escape from the gate.

To be safe, baby gates for stairs and baby safety gates should be user friendly for an adult but should also be designed to prevent children from opening them. There are two basic types of child safety gates and only one type should be used as baby gates for stairs. The two basic types differ on how they are installed.

BABY SAFETY GATES HARDWARE-MOUNTED

Baby safety gate hardware mounted are permanently mounted and should be the only type of gates to be used as baby gates for stairs. They require screws to be installed in the stairway or the doorway. Holes are drilled in the door frame, stud behind the wall or on the stairway ramp. Then the gate is attached with brackets and screws. Because they are sturdily fixed, hardware-mounted gates are considered the most secure choice. Those  baby gates often come in enamel-coated steel, vertical wood or aluminum tubing slats with top and bottom rails.

Use.Where you should use baby hardware mounted gates: As baby gates for stairs, at the top of the stairs. Because they are safer, those models are mostly intended for stair locations, although you can use it anywhere else in the house. Some baby gates for stairs will swing open one way (away from the stairs) and other will allow you to choose in which direction the door will swing in case you intend to install the gate at the bottom of stairs.

Installation. Holes are drilled into the door frame or through the drywall or plaster into the wood framing. Baby gates for stairs can be removed when you need the opening free.

BABY SAFETY GATES PRESSURE-MOUNTED

Unlike the baby safety gate hardware mounted gate, the  baby safety gate pressure-mounted needs no screwing and drilling to be installed. The baby gate is held by pressure against the door frame or the walls. Those baby safety gates sometimes have two sliding panels that allows you to adjust the gate to fit the opening or sometimes come in a swing-style with gate door that swings open. A pressure mechanism then keeps the children pressure-mounted safety gate in place, therefore no drilling is necessary. That type of kids safety gate often come in vertical wood, enamel-coated steel, aluminum tubing slats, but also can be made of plastic, wire, or nylon mesh or plastic-coated wire. Some models are even made of a transparent plastic so you can watch your baby through the gate.

Use: IMPORTANT: Not to be used as baby gates for stairs. This is serious. That type of gate is not considered safe enough to be used on top of stairs. However, pressure-mounted gates can safely be used in less hazardous locations, such as between rooms.They are use to separate two areas with same-level flooring; for example between the kitchen and the dinner room to avoid baby crawling baby under your feet when cooking.

Installation. Simply adjust the baby safety pressure-mounted gate to fit the opening and squeeze it in place with the pressure or locking mechanism wedges. This type of gate obviously leaves no permanent damages.

Features to consider for children safety gates

Gate safety depends on solid construction, reliable hardware, and the absence of entrapment hazards.

Height. A minimum of ¾ of your child’s height is recommended to discourage the child from climbing over the gate.

Installation flexibility. How odd is the area where you are going to install the gate? Stair balusters, angled banisters, drywall with no wood framing is all places you might have to deal with in your house. Sometimes you may need to purchase a specific installation kit for these areas and adjust the gate to fit the wide openings.

Latches. Many gates have a dual-action latch that can be opened with one hand by an adult and some models have a foot pedal that requires strong pressure to release. This last model of baby safety gates and baby gates for stairs is fully hand-free and can be very useful when carrying groceries or other packages.

The North States Auto-Close Metal Gate – Pressure Mount, which is a pressure-mounted type of gate, closes and locks automatically with a little shove and can be opened by an adult with one hand.

Sound and color. Several toddlers safety gates have an audible click when they shut, telling you that the door has been properly closed. The Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate and the Evenflo SimpleEffort Plus Hands Free Electronic Gate both have a color indicator that shows that the gate is locked.

Lights. The Safety 1st Smartlight Stair Gate, features a motion sensor night-light. Hence, this baby safety gate glows when you approach it ! A convenient feature for many parents at night.

Travel. Some pressure-mounted models can be use for temporary situations to increase safety around your child. Those models, such as travel models come with a carrying case.
