Aside from the selling point of the flat step, this gate looks very similar to most standard stair gates, with the same easy-to-clean white bars as the Cuggl Wall Fix Safety Gate and the Lindam Sure Shut Axis, among others. It’s also versatile, fitting a wide range of doorway widths without the need for additional extensions.The U-shaped frame simply squeezes against your walls, holding itself in place through pressure – although you do need to attach some wall cups to your wall using the sticky pads provided. The wall fix baby gates are ideal for the top of the stairs: one way opening can avoid falls down the stairs plus there's no step over bar to cause tripping hazard. You'll need them for the top and the bottom of the stairs, and to stop him from getting into other risky places. However, if you do need a pressure-fit gate for the top of your stairs, the Flat Step is our recommended choice over any other pressure-fit gate. We also bought rubber cups for the wall and the gate is totally solid, you could never shake it loose.

Within these two categories, there are a few other features that can form part of the identity of a stair gate.It also has many of the features we’ve seen before, such as two-direction opening and a visual indicator to help you see that the gate is securely locked. Despite not scoring as highly, this stair gate fits slightly narrower openings – anything from 60cm wide compared to the Safety 1st’s 62cm.
