Baby Gates & Guards

Good all rounder of a safety gate

Advantages: wider than average gates, looks good, sturdy, easy to fit, cheap
Disadvantages: hard to open one-handed, trip bar gets in the way

...settled on one of these Lindam Easy Fit Plus Gates for the bottom of my stairs, and I chose a different one for the top. I was rather restricted in choice of safety gates due to the width of my staircase being rather larger than average. I chose this gate because it fitted within my price range, was wide enough for the gap and looked like it was going to be simple to use, combined with it being the winner of various baby safety awards, I decided ...
...- I purchased two gates together from Toys R Us, this one was £21.99 and the other a few pounds cheaper. Toys R Us have been running a special offer for some time that gives you a discount of £5 if you purchase two safety gates, so I was able to get a discount on that price. The gate comes pretty much assembled, you just have to place the pressure pads on threaded metal in the four corners of the gate, then pop it in place and adjust and tighten ...

Review of Lindam Easy Fit Plus Gate

Babydan Gate to Go

Advantages: ease of use, good for temporary use, convenience in travel
Disadvantages: unease of adjustment, not always suitable for permanent use

We have purchase this safety gate in preparation of new arival to separate our pet and the baby. Meanwhile, we ended up using this on our pantry door to prevent our smart dog who finds ways to sneak in. We have found this product easy to use (assembly and removal). It's convenient to take it on the road and it would fit space between 71-92cm. When placed on the door frame gateis quite securely placed. However on between the wall, it could be pushed ...

Review of Babydan Gate to Go

No more bumps in the night!

Advantages: safe and easy to put up
Disadvantages: none

...bed. This is where the Tomy soft bed rail came into it's own! The bed rail is suitable for children from about the age of18 months and it really is very easy to use and feels totally safe. It is made from a metal frame which is covered with a very soft padded material in either blue or pink - not that we need to be stereotypical here but with the choice of colours they are more likely to fit into more colour schemes. The main part of the rail though ...
...a video demonstration on the Tomy website at www.tomy.co.uk The bed rail costs £19.99 which is pretty good value particularly as it's seen both my daughters through transition from cot to bed. At three and a half years old, my youngest daughter does not need it any more and it's still in good enough condition to pass on to a friend! So overall I do really recommend this. It feels safe, it's easy to use and looks attractive too. The best thing ...

Review of Tomy Soft Bed Guard

Now my baby is safe again!

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Difficult to install

...big brown cardboard box with Lindam written on the front and a picture of the gate. It was alot of cardboard i felt, but nothing much they could do about it because the gates were so big. I did keep the packaging and used it for when i was painting my bedroom because it was the perfect size for rollers, brushes, paint etc. They were really really heavy (for me) therefore Thomas carried them to the car. The gate I love this gate! The gate is ...
...a wee bit weird in my hall because my paint in my hall is just normal white! But that's not the end of the world. It is made of metal, it's quite slim but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not sturdy, because it is! Sky shakes the gate when she is trying to get out and it is still in one piece and on my wall. As it's an extendable gate it can go from a range of sizes from 62 to 102 cms which was really what i wanted as my stairway is 100cm ...

Review of Lindam White Extending Metal Safety Gate

Peace of mind around the stairs

Advantages: versatile, no bar to walk over
Disadvantages: fiddly to measure out

...admit to going straight to Mothercare purely because it was convenient, but I also think that they offer competitive prices and products compared to any other baby shop. There were a few choices in the shop, but we chose the white extending panel gates because they looked simple to fit and also they would match the paintwork on the banisters. Wooden gates would have looked out of place in our house. Each gate cost us £19.99 a year ago, but you ...
...If you need more than one there is an option of getting a twin pack for around £36 but it doesn't save you very much money. The gates come packaged flat packed in two pieces with all the screw attachments separately. There is a sheet of instructions included and even if you're a man, I would suggest you read these before installing as this is your baby's safety you're dealing with not a TV cabinet. Ranging in size from 62 - 106 centimetres you ...
