It may seem an active baby on the loose, ever time you turn around he is entering or climbing something that is dangerous for his wellbeing. A couple of baby gates can make your life a little easier a child's life much safer.
There are two types of ports:
The hardware mounted gate requires screws for mounting in a doorway. You can drill holes in a door frame or stud behind the wall and fasten the gate with brackets and screws. In many cases you can avoid this by buying a round or square clamp made of solid wood to attach and drilling action. Hardware mounted gates are the safest option and is best used on top of the stairs. No matter how much you want to avoid down hole pressure mounted gates can be surprisingly easy to loosen and not recommended for top of stairs.
Pressure mounted gates are kept in an opening pressure against the door frame or walls. Presenter keep it in place and require no drilling. These are suitable for less hazardous locations such as between rooms, for example, off your kitchen so you can make dinner without a crawling baby underfoot, or the bottom of a staircase to discourage your little climber from venturing upstairs. We recommend that you not use a pressure mounted gate at the top of the stairs.
Avoid gates with horizontal slats, they are an invitation for a child to climb. Look for the narrow space between the vertical slats. These should be less than three inches apart to prevent head entrapment. Look for sturdy construction and an even finish. Metal is more durable than wood. Take measurements of your desired location one avoid gates, which must be at their maximum width to fit because they can wobble.
