When your baby becomes a fully mobile crawler or toddler, you need to know they're safe to explore the world around them. The gate can be fixed with a 2 way or 1 way opening, however you will need to watch out for the bar along the bottom wherever the stair gate is installed.

The retractable feature makes this stair gate space-efficient and the wall mounting brackets keeps this lightweight yet sturdy gate in place to stop children from accessing unsafe areas. You may not know this, but in 2010 Lindam Ltd became part of the Munchkin family, so no matter which logo you see on your chosen safety gate, you can rest assured it has come from the same high specification production line, and benefits from all the same care, technology and innovation. Fred therefore follows a continuous improvement program with all of its products to ensure that parents can relax knowing that Fred products are the safest available.

Fitting the gate above a skirting board can be unsafe if there's space for your baby or toddler to become trapped underneath.
