Product Information

Babies don’t always know their own limitations and are often more than happy to attempt stairs on their own, with no idea of the potential consequences. If your baby likes to explore, then a stair gate will be a childproofing necessity. Stair gates can be used at the top of the stairs (to prevent your baby from falling down) and at the bottom (to stop them from climbing up). They can also be used to close off unsafe rooms and to temporarily add additional barriers to your home, whether that’s across a doorway or another narrow opening. The flat step makes this pressure-fit stair gate a good alternative to screw-fit stair gates if you're not able to drill into walls. Assembly: How easy was the gate to install? Were the instructions clear? Were any additional tools or fixings required?

In accordance with safety directive EN 1930:2011, the handle makes an audible clunk as it closes, so you know it’s secure. And since a gate that older siblings can’t open is a recipe for parental insanity, we’re happy to report that older children (probably from seven years old) will master the mechanism instantly, and younger ones (around four to six years) should get it with a little practice. Is the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe stair gate safe?I really like the very simple plug-in Lindam ones. They give off a soft blue light. It’s not very much but enough that you can move around the room without banging into stuff and see faces if close-up. Kids have them and we have them on the stairs too." (Vetted by Mumsnet user PiratePete’sPyjamas) Our verdict

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.Pressure-fit gates are very safe for use at the bottom of a staircase or in a doorway, as long as they’re installed correctly and regularly tightened as necessary. Our favourite features?

There’s no statutory requirement to comply with this safety standard, but most gates claim to conform.
