Selecting the appropriate baby gate involves considering several factors:
1. Location: Determine where the gate will be used. For high-risk areas like the top of stairs, a hardware-mounted gate is recommended.
2. Size: Measure the width of the opening where the gate will be installed to ensure a proper fit.
3. Height: Choose a gate that is at least three-quarters of your child's height to prevent them from climbing over it.
4. Material: Consider the durability and aesthetics of the gate. Metal gates are generally more robust, while wooden gates may blend better with home decor.
