Product Information

Type: Pressure-fit | Width: 76 – 96cm, with additional extensions available to fit up to 124cm What we love I second using calpol plug ins. I put one in the living room during the day as well in the bedroom at night."(Tried and tested by Mumsnetter ToastCrumbsOnAPlate) Our verdict When your baby is starting to become mobile, it's important to create a safe environment for them. Safety gates can keep little ones safe by creating a barrier in doorways or on stairs, limiting their adventures to areas that are safer. It's recommended to use a wall-mounted gate on any stairway opening, top or bottom, and a pressure-fit or removable style for doorways. Pressure-fit gates and gates with a step-over bar shouldn't be used at the top of stairs. 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.

Our favourite features? A great option for creating a subtle light in nurseries and children’s bedrooms, as well as landings and hallways, the Lindam Nursery Night Lights are lightweight and portable and come with a Dawn till Dusk sensor, automatically switching off when the room gets light.

This product is easy to fit and covers the landing banister struts easily. It is a bit long but double it up and it still works. “ We have it and I'd be lost without it! We used it as a night light during the newborn night feeds. She's 9 months now and I still rely on it so I know how to dress her for bed."(Recommended by Mumsnetter WhenTwoBecomeThree) Our verdictAlthough the BabyDan Guard Me is safe for use anywhere in your home, the best stair gate for use at the top of the stairs is the Safety 1st Wall Fix Extending Metal Gate, which is also the best screw-fit stair gate we tested.

It often requires a small cup to be applied to your wall with an adhesive, which the bolts of the gate then sit in.
