Keep Your Baby OK With Safety Gates

Author: Alice Shown

The birth of a baby is definitely a reason to celebrate. But
once the celebrations are over the work for raising the child
begins. When a baby grows and learns to walk, it becomes quite
important for the parents to keep their toddler safe and
injury-free by installing necessary safety products. After all
no one can keep an strict eye over the movements of the baby
round the clock. The babies are quite anxious to study each
every corner of the room. Therefore you need to install safety
gates to ensure security of your baby from every potentially
dangerous place at your home such as, stairs, kitchen, or an
office room.

Whenever we hear the word gate usually a figure of wood and
metal barrier emerge in front of us. But nowadays, you can also
buy the baby gates made up of Plexiglas or high-strength
fabrics. They are used at doorways and stairways. The safety
gate easily fits inside a doorframe between two walls. The
hardware mounted gates are the safest option which opens and
closes similarly like a door and ensures complete protection of
your little ones. They are attached to the wall with screws and
banisters. They are best suited for the areas where your baby
walks frequently.

You need to consider following points while choosing a baby
safety gate:

1.Ensure that the gates do not have openings to trap fingers or
necks of the babies.

2.Never use a pressure mounted gate between two rooms of varied
levels and top of the stair as a baby can remove them easily.

3.Do not use the gates that can swing at the top of the stairways

4.Ensure that the gates do not posses any pointed or sharp
edges.

5.Do not use a gate that posses a structure which provides the
child to hold his foot and climb on the gate.

6.The minimum height of the gate and that of the baby should be
same.
