Important before purchasing any gate:

Take accurate measurements. Remember to take the skirting into account. The maximum adjustable size of the gate includes the tension knobs on the sides, used to pressure mount the gate.

Extra precautions to consider:

1. Glow in the Dark Tape for Stairs and Baby Gates

baby-proof-glow-in-the-dark-tape-south-africa

Product Features:

• Size: 10mm thick
• Available per running meter – CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE
• The neon glow feature gives you a quick heads up to step over the horizontal bar found at the bottom of pressure mounted baby gates, especially in the dark.

Why the fuss?

• As a baby proofing specialist, one of my biggest challenges has been the horizontal bar found at the bottom of ALL pressure mounted gates.
• Especially considering these gates are mostly installed at the top and bottom of Stairways and can pose a toe thumping, tripping hazard.
• Pressure mounted gates these days are super popular as they are secure, well manufactured and there is really no need for drilling.
• The gates come with 4 ‘mounting cups’ and strong double sided tape, these cups go between the wall and the pressure spindles/tension knobs.

Dreambaby Gate Tension Knobs and Mounting Cups

• Once the gate is up and these side spindles/tension knobs have been tightened into the cups, the cups with double sided tape keep the gate secure and in place.
• Disclaimer: Be sure to leave the double sided tape to set for at least 24 hours before tugging and putting unnecessary pressure on the gate. Patience is everything!

What about using a ramp?

Unfortunately, there aren’t any ramps available in SA to test out, although I have seen these overseas. Even so, I don’t think they would fit on most stairs as they are bulky and I also don’t think by judging the design, they would even reduce the risk. I have inserted a photo below so you can to decide.

2. Baby Gate Reinforcement Lock 2 Pack

baby-gate-reinforcement-lock

• The Baby Gate Reinforcement Lock – 2 pack is ideal if you have already purchased a baby gate that doesn’t have an additional lever locking system at the bottom.
• We recommend installing the lever lock on both sides; hence the quantity per pack is two.
• Although toddlers are more inclined to push rather than pull, their determination and developing motor skills will soon allow them to do both.  Safety is paramount and there is no room for error.
• This product comes with screws and will need to be hardware mounted to the bottom of your gate using a drill and 4mm steel drill bit.
