When selecting a safety gate, consider the following factors:
Location: Choose a gate type suitable for where it will be installed (e.g., hardware-mounted for stairs). Material: Gates come in various materials like wood, metal, and plastic. Select one that fits your aesthetic and durability needs. Height: Ensure the gate is tall enough to prevent your child from climbing over it. Spacing: Check that the spacing between bars or slats is narrow enough to prevent your child from squeezing through. Ease of use: Make sure the gate is easy for adults to open and close but secure enough to prevent children from doing so.
