3. How do I choose the right stairgate for my home?
When choosing a stairgate, consider:
-Location: Pressure-mounted gates are suitable for doorways, while screw-fit gates are safer for staircases.
-Width: Measure the area to ensure the gate fits securely, especially for wider spaces.
Material: Opt for durable materials like wood, metal, or mesh for long-lasting safety.
-Ease of use: Look for gates with one-hand opening or auto-close features for convenience.
-Safety standards: Ensure the stairgate complies with relevant safety standards for childproofing.
Always install the gate correctly and regularly check it for stability to keep your little one safe.
