0 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

A baby gate is an investment in your child's safety as much as a good car seat. These will prevent falls down steps, prying little hands finding tools or sharp objects and access to areas with household cleaners and chemicals. A quality gate can mean the difference between a pleasant evening at home and a trip to the emergency room.

Kidco, a leader in child safety products, offers a wide range of baby gates for just about any application. Their award winning designs have dominated the industry for years. They have a full line of home safety products available also, not just gates.

One of their most popular models is the gateway Model G11. A pressure mounted system with no need for mounting hardware, this gate is completely portable. Opening either direction allows for ease of passage and the one handed latch is a snap to use.

Constructed from tubular steel, this baby gate will fit most standard doorways up to 36" in width. At 29.5" high, it is still low enough for an adult to step over while keeping the little ones corralled quite nicely. This model also has an available extension package which lets it fit openings up to 41" wide.

Evenflo, another industry leader in baby products and child safety, offers a full line of baby gates in different styles and colors. The Summit is one of their most popular choices by parents. Pressure mounted as the Kidco one is, this one is also completely portable.

One innovation that the Evenflo has over the Kidco model is a latch indicator. This lets you know if the gate is properly secured or not. This feature is especially helpful if you are in a hurry or a guest who has never operated a baby gate just is not sure they have done it correctly.
