Safety 1st Flat Step Baby Gate, Metal, White, Fits 73-101 cm, Pressure Fit, No Trip Hazard

This product was perfect. Brought for top of stairs and I'm always paranoid about tripping, especially when carrying the little one. The low profile of the bottom rail on this gate wasn't the only selling point either. 1. It's a press fit so no unsightly holes left in the wall when it comes time to remove it. 2. The trip hazard is greatly reduced as it's such a low profile bottom rail 3. Build quality is excellent 4. Gate opens in both directs 5. Child proof lock when closed 6. Super easy installation 7. The size is perfect, my stairs don't seem to be a normal width and most gate sizes are either too narrow or too wide. This one is the goldilocks one!! I recommend this product 10/10.

Having recently fitted this gate to the bottom of our stairs, I would say it rates very highly. It's sturdy and easy enough to fit, assuming you don't rush the job. I had to fit the optional 7cm extension and that was fine, apart from a minor issue getting the inserts out so I could fit the extension. The online video is good for confirming you're doing things in the right order. The gate can be opened with one hand. It needs a slide-and-lift-up movement, and at first it will likely seem quite stiff. It does need a reasonably strong action, but that ensures children very probably won't manage it. We are in our 60s and my wife and I have no problem opening and locking the gate. I like the fact that the gate will stay open if placed at the full 90 deg - any less of an angle and it will self-close; very handy if you're coming up or down stairs - or through a doorway - carrying things. It shows thoughtful design. The gate will open both ways - a stopper low down on each side allows you to have the gate only open one way. I picked up on comments that the gate arrived and looked faulty for some. Seems the company responded to this. The gate itself, and side bar, are temporarily held vertically together with a cable tie, and there's an advisory warning label. If you follow the video and position the gate, tighten the fixings a little way, and only then cut the cable tie, you won't notice any issue (the side bar pulls up to the gate as you tighten the fixings). The thin bottom bar was a big reason I bought this model, because our previous one had a typically thick bar which I'd occasionally catch with my heal as I stepped down. This one is barely noticeable, even when I deliberately tried to step on it. But more importantly, if you fit yours at the top of the stairs, having a thin bottom bar should prevent any chance of tripping up and falling head long down the stairway! Well thought out and well made product.

We already had a gate at the bottom of the stairs but needed one at the top with a flat bar across the bottom to avoid tripping, as our little one has started to crawl. The gate at the bottom is a Munchkin Lindam one, and I initially looked at buying their version for the top of the stairs (with flat bar) but after reading numerous reviews about how difficult it was to install and how the wall cups were different, I decided to go for this one and we wanted to screw the cups on to the wall, rather than using sticky pads as it's more secure and the pads can take paint and plaster off when removed. We got a "used" one from Amazon as it was about £15 cheaper (minus the extender), it initially said the box had been damaged/opened but there were clear signs of use although these were mostly only minor cosmetic like a few scuffs. The cable tie to stop the gate flapping about when you install it had also been removed so I had to use duct tape to secure it while we were putting it up. The cups came with the adhesive pads attached where somebody had obviously stuck them on before sending it back. This wasn't a problem for us as we wanted to screw it on anyway and the pads came off easily but all of this is probably worth noting if you see a cheaper one on Amazon which says only the box has been damaged... It was relatively easy to install although the bottom cups were a bit trickier to screw in because of our skirting board and the configuration at the top of our stairs (one side has square skirting that's even all the way around and the other side is tapered), that also meant that we couldn't get the bar 100% straight at the bottom as it would come over the top step but it is very secure. I don't know why manufacturers don't take the size and shape of skirting boards into account when they produce these gates, although that's possibly because they are not solely made for the UK market. Easy to adjust once up and I like the system with the washers and gaskets which are attached to the top and make it easy to adjust to fit in the wall cups. The gate is really sturdy now it's up and the locking mechanism seems very secure. I like the feature that shows a red/green indicator on the lock to show that it's properly in position or not. I can lift and open/close with my right hand easily enough but little hands probably won't be able to open it, which is obviously a good thing!

Súper recomendable; muy buena calidad; cumple perfectamente su función. Buen sistema de apertura/cierre. Y queda perfectamente asegurada tras la instalación, no se mueve del sitio en absoluto. Y me encanta la opción de poder caminar sin tropezones encima de ella gracias a su diseño. Muy contenta con la compra.

Ottimo prodotto. Fa il suo mestiere ed è robusto. Meccanismo di chiusura a prova di bimbo. L'anta si apre in entrambe le direzioni ed è dotata di fermi per impostare il senso di apertura se se ne desidera uno solo. La prolunga (comprata a parte) funziona bene ma va tagliata a misura, necessario seghetto. Unico neo: in un punto della parte inferiore del taglio vi è una vistosa smaccatura (0.5 cm di diametro circa) della vernice in cui è saltata. Ho dovuto verniciarlo per non fare vedere il ferro sul fondo. Può succedere, ma non succederebbe se si controllasse prima la merce...

Leider kam das Treppenschutzgitter zerkratzt an und die Kontaktaufnahme zum Kundensupport des Herstellers ist so umständlich gestaltet (diverse Produktnummern sollen angegeben werden, welche laut System ungültig sind), sodass mir nur die Option zur Rückgabe und erneuten Bestellung bleibt oder die Inkaufnahme der Kratzer. Sehr ärgerlich! Eine Preisreduktion wäre in einem solchen Fall angemessen.

Leider habe auch ich ein Exemplar erhalten, das deutliche Schäden im Lack aufweist. Der Karton war jedenfalls schon einmal geöffnet, er war mit viel Paketband zugeklebt. Zurückschicken ist nervig, wir werden den Artikel wohl behalten. Sehr ärgerlich!
