Advantages: Unobtrusive, fit flush, easy for adult to remove, cheap
Disadvantages: Will stand out if you have anything other that white socket plates

Two and a half year old Freddy has something of an obsession with switches and given half a chance will sneakily press on any switch that he can find. While the only problem with him continually switching lights on and off is that we go through an unprece ... Read review

Socket covers work for us
by cornishchic

Advantages: Gets the job done - even with some flaws.
Disadvantages: Hinges are weak compared to the weight, and the gate isn't too practical.

We recently rescued a puppy, and within a few days, he was bounding up the stairs and running into the bedrooms. We decided to purchase one of these baby gates, having been told that they're great. When we started to put the gate up, it was somewhat diff ... Read review

Sounds awful :/ by laurahartleyy

Advantages: Safer for sharp corners,

When our twins were learning to walk we found that our house suddenly seemed to be filled with dangerous obstacles. Things they could fall into, trip over, pull onto themselves, etc. One of the most hazardous things for them both seemed to be the corner ... Read review

Advantages: Strong and durable
Disadvantages: Has an annoying catch.

I first used Lindam Stair Gates when I had my daughter three and a half years ago. I bought two gates in total and use one for the bottom of the stairs and one for the kitchen. I have since had another child who is 18 months, which is why I still use them ... Read review

We gave up on the self-supporting steel gates, with their lower frame that is so easy to catch and trip over when you've arms full of washing in front of you... the latest ones we have are wooden and are fastened to one side of the stair banister, with two little cups that mount on the wall-side. Good review. by pgn0

They are good, we have two. But after a while they do damage the doorframe/wall paintwork. :) by Novabug

Advantages: Closes firmly and can't be opened by toddler
Disadvantages: The catch at the bottom is big enough to trap small curious fingers.

Well, the stairgate does exactly what it says on the tin. It stops my son escaping out of the room. We've had this stairgate since my son started walking, so quite a while now. We had absolutely no problems with it until my son has got more interested in ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, portable, fits variety of doors, stops door slamming, protects little fingers
Disadvantages: Doesn't completely protect on hinge side of door

Anyone who has a toddler in their house will know that they have a real fascination with doors and love shutting them as loudly as they can. The trouble is that they find it far harder to open the door than shut it and dislike being shut in a room. Not on ... Read review

What an excellent idea for it to have extra locks on it - these gates are obviously something that are going to stand the test of time. (I know my parents found the ones they bought invaluable for stopping me roaming when I was small.) by KateHurst

I used pressure gates when my daughter was a baby and liked them...but one was a bit temperamental and would occasionally fall down! by rosebud2001

We have 2 of these gates, for animal rather than baby use! One between the living room and the bottom of the stairs, the other between the living room and kitchen, as we have no doors on the bottom floor of the house, and it gets tiring chasing the dog ba ... Read review
