Many Reasons to Have a Baby Gate for stars

As a parent, it can get really frustrating if you have to keep telling a baby to go back into their playroom every single time they step foot in the kitchen while you are cutting up some vegetables. Heck, most babies won’t even understand what you are talking about.

Certain environments are a part of everyday life and they simply cannot be cut out just because your little one is here. Would you take the stairs out of your home just because you had a child? Of course not!

So, again, this is where these handy little baby gates are just so darn useful. Surely there are a million reasons to utilize one of these in your home and even if you aren’t a parent yourself, you may even be considering one of these for your grandchild or if you happen to babysit often. In addition, these gates work just as good for dogs as children.

How big is the opening?

It is very important to take measurements of how wide the opening you want to seal off is. If you end up getting a gate that is too short or one that is too big (though this is uncommon), it will be useless.

Hardware mounted gates make up the vast majority of gates that you can use for very wide openings. You can find a few extra wide pressure mounted and retractable safety gates, but you don’t have nearly as many to choose from. With very wide openings we are referring to gates that can cover an opening up to about 70 inches. For openings even wider than this, you are almost only left with hardware mounted gates.

Needless to say, the geometry you want to secure is one of the most important factors for choosing your baby gates for stairs.
