Best Baby Gates

Preparing the home for an infant that has become mobile or making the home safe for toddlers often requires the parent to install baby gates. Baby gates can be installed at the tops and bottoms of stairs or through areas where the parent would like to limit access to in the home.

The First Years Hands Free Gate is a great choice for parents that are searching for an easy to use gate that can allow the parent to carry the child through the home, without having to put the child down while opening and closing the gate. The hands-free system allows the parent to simply open and close the gate through the use of a foot pedal, making the First Years Hands Free Gate one of the easiest to use on the market.

The gate swings open in both directions, making it a great choice for open doorways or parents that are trying to block off certain rooms of the home. This way the parent can easily use the foot pedal to open the doorway gate to the right or the left depending on whether they are entering or leaving the room.

The baby gate is able to accommodate doorway sizes of up to thirty-nine inches, and has an optional extender system that is available to increase the size of the gate to up to forty-four inches. Using the extender kit, parents can create a baby gate safe for extra wide doorways, for example the entry-way of the home. The extender kits are easy to install and can often be purchased at the same place the baby gate is being purchased.

Parents should realize before purchasing the Hands Free baby gate that is not extended for the use at the top of the stairs, as the foot pedal can cause potential injury when being used – and therefore is not a safe option to protect the top of the stairs.

With two designs available, parents can choose from the traditional flat top gate or choose something more decorative with the arched top gate available. Choose the gate that best suits the style of the room where the gate is being placed.
