Product Information

Fitting the gate above a skirting board can be unsafe if there's space for your baby or toddler to become trapped underneath. It’s easily adjustable to a range of widths, which is yet another thing that makes it good for travel, as you don’t know the size of doorways where you’re going (unless you really are super organised!

Double-check your gate is the right size for the space and that you don't need to add any extendable sections – these sometimes come with the gate or may need to be purchased separately.Unlike any of the other stair gates in our list, this chic style from Fred features a clear acrylic panel, allowing unrestricted visibility and a contemporary finish. The extra wide walk through section and no step over bar makes it the perfect option for use at the top or bottom of the stairs. We also bought rubber cups for the wall and the gate is totally solid, you could never shake it loose.

These are the ones recommended for long-term use and for the top of staircases (see our safety notes below). They can also be used to close off unsafe rooms and to temporarily add additional barriers to your home, whether that’s across a doorway or another narrow opening. It often requires a small cup to be applied to your wall with an adhesive, which the bolts of the gate then sit in.

This retractable mesh stair gate hides away almost completely when not in use, making it the ideal choice for smaller homes, high-traffic areas, or for those who simply want a minimalist option. The safest way to fit the gate is to use spacers – these additional plastic fixtures, supplied by the manufacturer, fill out the wider part of the opening so the fixtures can be attached at the same width. Despite not scoring as highly, this stair gate fits slightly narrower openings – anything from 60cm wide compared to the Safety 1st’s 62cm.

Lindam Wall Fix Extending Wooden Safety Gate review - Which?

Width and height: Will a standard size fit the space you're trying to fill or do you need a narrow or extra-wide option? If you’re looking for a no-trip stair gate that can be used for the top of the stairs or busy doorways in the house, then this model from BabyDan won’t disappoint.We especially like that the gate comes with a pressure indicator, which lets you know that it is installed properly. The bottom bar of the frame can pose a trip hazard, so pressure-fit gates are generally not suitable for use at the top of a staircase. Parent tester Sophie likes how "it drills securely into the wall" so she doesn't have to worry about her toddler pushing and climbing on it. Needs screwing in with small screws (included) and you need to lift it to open, all pieces included.
