January 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #152: How Much to Spend on a Baby Gate

Tip of the Week

How much you should spend on a baby gate really depends on how often you will use it. If you simply need to have something on hand for when company comes over with young children a few times a year, you can probably find an inexpensive pressure-mounted gate for about $25 or less that will work. But if you need a sturdy gate that you will use on a daily basis, consider some of the more expensive, mounted baby safety gates that you can attach in your doorway. These range in price on up to $75 or more, depending on how wide your space is, what style you pick, such as a retractable baby gate or a swinging style, and what material you select. In addition, purchasing gate extensions can sharply increase the price of your system, – usually adding anywhere from $25 to $40 or more for each extra panel, depending on the dimensions you need. But the benefit is that you get a custom fit for your space, along with the peace of mind that goes with it. That makes this is a wise investment.
