I have a very wide staircase that I need to block off from my toddler. Does anyone know of a mega adjustable safety gate?

Vanessa,

Can't remember the brand - but I found a few different types in Target. From memory maximum width was about 130 to 150cm. They also had gate extensions. Strength wise they seem to fine - certainly our 20month can't push 'em over.

Alternatively - if you have the time and the inclination it's pretty easy to make a set of gates yourself. Did this for our stairs with parts bought at Bunnings. So it matches the decor much better than a set of shop-bought ones. Can't say it's cheaper but strenght wise these things can stand up to the gates of hell!

Regards
Damian

Hello Vanessa,

Choosing a baby gate is an important decision. The wrong kind of gate in the wrong place can have disastrous results. I found this Extra Safety Features: Safety Light . Some baby gates have extra features, such as the Safety 1st Smart Light Stair Gate, which has a motion-activated safety light that turns on when it detects someone is near, to illuminate the stairway. This is a helpful feature if it is needed in the stairway, but not necessary for areas that have adequate lighting.

Also, check our website for safe baby products that fits your toddler's needs. :)

Thanks a lot!
