When your little one is on the move, a baby gate will be one of the most useful pieces of nursery kit you’ll buy. It can stop her from accessing places you don’t want her to go, such as the stairs or the kitchen, and keep her from wandering off where your eyes can’t follow.How to choose the perfect baby gate:
First up, you need to consider the place you’re guarding. You won’t want anything with a step-over bar at the top of the stairs, but they could work fine at the bottom. Is there space for a door to swing open and shut in the space? If not, a retractable gate could be the answer. And you’ll definitely need a gate that you can open and shut with one hand – trust us on this.
As with everything in life, you’ll need to apply some basic common sense - so no step-over bars at the top of the stairs. And the gate will only work if you actually remember to close it. Hey, nothing can be taken for granted after six months of sleep deprivation.
