February 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #157: Pressure-mounted Baby Gates

Tip of the Week

Pressure-mounted gates are easy to install since they don't require tools. They expand to fit a desired opening and secure with tension. Pressure gates are available to fit openings from about 28-60 inches, and are best suited for doorways separating two rooms that are on the same level. Never use them at the top of stairs, as there is always the danger of your child's weight pushing them over. If you do use them between rooms, mount them with the locking bar facing away from your child, and make sure they fit snugly within openings to resist the strength of your child. Beware of child safety gates with square openings as they may be easy for some children to climb.
