Product Information

We have the Baby Dan no trip gates on the stairs. My concern with stairs isn't that they may come close but that it's easy to trip over the bottom bar when carrying my baby and other stuff down. No trip ones don’t have the bar and are screwed in. They also come in wood rather than metal so look better!” (Brand recommended by Mumsnet user PeachesandPie) Our verdict Make sure that the safety gate properly fits the opening and that there is no 'play' in it when closed.

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.
