Fred Safety Pressure Fit Acrylic Clear-View Baby Safety Gate | Extendable Stair Gate Fits Wide Openings 76cm to 96cm | Award-Winning Modern Babyproofing Solution

Product Information

The pressure mounting is quick and easy to install on banisters, with no need for screws that damage the wood. It stops our mischievous little human from escaping from the family room and getting into the kitchen.

There are sets available in several widths that run up to 53 inches, making this a great purchase if you have a wide, non-standard doorway to cover. The instructions fit on a single page and are clear, which is in stark contrast to the hieroglyphics supplied with other gates, some of which took more than an hour to install. But I’ve seen my friend’s twins lean their full weight on it while watching her in the kitchen, and it holds up just fine. It may seem that a benefit of pressure-fit gates is that they won’t damage the wall like a hardware-mounted gate will.In a doorway, this shouldn’t be an issue, but for more complicated stairway setups, this may be a problem (one that our pick nicely solves). Baby gates come in every size, shape, and material, but not all gates fit every potential baby escape route.

There’s also an indicator that turns red when the gate needs to be tightened, a convenient way to ensure the gate stays securely installed. It is the only tested gate with a 100 percent metal locking system and, properly installed, the gate had no problems supporting 180 pounds of weight (me, sitting on it) without any flex. Our first-hand findings and reviews provide you with an in-depth understanding of each product’s unique features, helping you make an informed decision when choosing the best baby gate for your home. Though it's a bit on the heavy side, it's sturdy enough to handle a baby or a large dog shaking it without breaking.The Betta Care Easy fit baby stair gate is another no frills pressure fit gate to consider as you baby proof your home.

Some gates have a one-handed system which should be easy for you to manage but not for your two-year-old.We have to turn sideways to fit through, especially when carrying a load, but this did not make it a deal-breaker in our books. The most popular alternative is a pressure-fit gate, which is held in place through pressure against the wall. If you’re like me and have fur babies and a toddler who hasn’t yet got the hang of “handle with care ,”you might have to think about how to keep little hands away from little paws. Just note that there’s no door so you’ll have to step over it each time you need to get by, something to keep in mind if you’re thinking of installing it in a highly-trafficked area of your home. It requires eight screws, so in the end there will be more wall patching than with the Stairway Special.
