CategoriesArchivesWelcome to SafeTots.co.uk Blog & AdviceWelcome to the Safetots Blog where we'll aim to give tips and advice on baby and toddler safety. Please Scroll down to see the latest articles or use the navigation on the left to browse by category or use the search box to find more infomation and hints and tips about your particular topic.A stair gate is a safety must when your little angel starts to become more mobile. You’ll find that even a baby that has just learnt to crawl will manage to get into mischief in seemingly safe places. The main use for a stair gate is of course protecting your child from trips or falls around the stair area however in recent years stair gates have also become known as safety gates and are increasingly popular in kitchens and on summer doors.
The first step in choosing the right stair gate is measuring the area that you intend to put your safety gate, at floor level and at 75cm above floor level. You can then enter the top measurement into our stair gate finder which will show all of the stair gates that will fit. You will also need to select which type of stair gate that you are looking for.
There are two types of stair gate, pressure mounted and screw mounted. A pressure mounted stair gate doesn’t require any permanent fixings but does have a trip bar at the bottom for stability. This means a pressure mounted safety gate is not ideal for the top of the stairs. A screw mounted stair gate attached to the wall with screws so some minor DIY will be needed; a screw fitted safety gate is a better alternative for the top of the stairs and a more permanent solution.
Sometimes a stair gate will need to be fitted to a banister in which case you can check the box on our stair gate finder and we’ll display the safety gates with the correct and safest fittings.
Take a look at the full range of stair gates and safety gates available online now in the Safetots safety essentials section of our website.
