Advantages: very easy instructions, very easy to fit Disadvantages: says you can open it one handed but hmm this is a bit tricky
We already have 2 stairgates in our house but one of them has broken and although my son is now 2 1/2 years old I really feel that we still need one by our living room door as it leads into the kitchen and I want to keep my son safe especially when I am cooking.
I had a look online for stairgates and the LindamEasyFit Plus gate looked the best price, as we already have a Lindamgate I know that the quality of them is very good.
Packaging
The stairgate comes in a large square flat brown box , you will find on the box a picture of the stairgate with the product details that comes in various languages.
Inside the box is a white metal stairgate which has a blue handle , a manual, a leaflet so you can order spare parts ,a box with :-

2 screws
2 wall caps
2 sticky pads
2 wall plugs ...

Oh and don't forget the fact that because of the design and the room either side of the opening that's taken up with bars it's very hard to walk through the gate whilst holding anything and I -constantly- whack my hip very painfully on it. It is a very narrow ...
Advantages: wider than average gates, looks good, sturdy, easy to fit, cheap Disadvantages: hard to open one-handed, trip bar gets in the way
When my baby started to crawl, I started to research into safety gates so that I knew I was getting the best thing for my money and the most suitable for what I needed. I settled on one of these LindamEasyFit 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 that it was the right gate for me.
Price - 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 ...
