It is worth planning the positioning of your baby safety gate well in advance of needing it. In this way, you can carry out thorough research on the type of gate that best suits the chosen location, match it to your décor even, and install it before your baby crawls. This gives family and visitors time to practice using it because it is notable that many accidents involving safety barriers are due to the user not ensuring the gate is properly closed. This is also the ideal opportunity to include any older siblings in the care of their little brother or sister by educating them on how to operate the gate safely and the importance of keeping the gate shut. Some gates have a colour indicator which shows green or red, depending on whether the gate has been shut properly – a simple feature which assists children as well as adults to operate the gate safely. All Safetots’ safety barriers designed for children up to the age of 24 months have been tested and comply with the safety standard EN 1930:2011 when fitted in accordance with the instructions.

Pet gates and dog gates are versatile, and you can add a dog gate extension to a standard gate to create a much wider room divide. Dog gate extensions enable you to create a suitable room divide for doorways large and small. Here at zooplus we offer a great range of dog gates, with some made from mesh and others from sturdier, more solid material that is particularly suited to outdoor use, some even with a weatherproof coating. They also come in a great range of sizes to fit all areas - some even include a cat door, which is ideal if you have felines as well and want to allow them access into canine-free areas! Multi-pet gates: in a multi-pet household, there will always be territory battles! Make these a thing of the past with a great dog barrier or dog gate - we offer large barriers that have built-in smaller doors that are perfect for letting small dogs, puppies or cats through without your larger canine companies joining the crowd! Pet gates are generally taller than standard safety gates which makes them suitable for small dogs and puppies. However, depending on the size of your dog, you may need a large pet gate. Safetots pet gates come in a range of sizes including tall pet gates and extra tall stair gates , which help prevent your pet from jumping over the barrier. There is also a range of Safetots pet pens if you wish to keep your pet confined to one area.When installing a gate on a staircase make sure that surfaces for any assembly fixings are secure and in good repair. General stair safety would include repair of unstable bannister rails or spindles and ensuring any floor coverings are in good condition, non-slip and clutter free. If your staircase has spindles, it is advisable to think about the size of gap in between them and whether your child could squeeze through – many parents or carers choose to board them in during these early years as an extra precaution. As your crawler develops into a toddler, start to teach them how to walk up and down the stairs in a safe manner – safe would include using a bannister rail if there is one, walking slowly and holding an adult’s hand, and not carrying anything in their hands. As an adult, remember to use the stairs in this way as your child will learn through observation, and when carrying a child on a stairwell, always have one hand on a bannister rail or secure surface to help avoid tripping. When buying a product to help keep your child out of harm’s way, Safetots believe it is worth investing in one that has been tested to a professionally approved level of safety using rigorous testing methods. Pet gates are designed to keep pets and children safe in the home and away from potentially dangerous and harmful areas. Once installed, dog gates, pet gates, and puppy gates create an instant divide between two areas of the home. Pet gates enable you to contain a pet in a designated area, preventing them from entering other parts of the home you wish to keep free from pets, such as upstairs. They enable you to create zones where you are happy for your pet to enter and where you are not.

Dog and puppy gates are easy to set up and are available as both pressure fit gates and screw fitted gates , depending on your requirements. They are easy to set up and provide a strong, sturdy barrier in all areas of your home. Safetots pet gates are available in a range of colours and materials, including wooden stair gates , from several reputable brands including Bettacare and Safetots’ own range of pet and dog gates. As with standard pressure fit stair gates , a pressure fit dog gate is not installed using tools or drilling and screwing techniques but by applying pressure to the four main pressure points. To fit a pressure fit pet gate, simply place the stair gate in the space you wish to fill then tighten the bottom two spindles followed by the top two spindles. The gap between the wall and stair gate will then gradually close.Pressure fit pet gates also feature a trip bar which is perfectly acceptable if installed at the bottom of stairs but could become an additional hazard if fitted at the top. Dog and pet gates will allow you to set boundaries wherever necessary, whether it is to keep pets out of places in the home, such as upstairs, or to keep children and animals separate. Pet gates and extra tall pet gates are a popular choice for homes with pets. The installation of a pet gate enables families to keep their dog in a contained area and prevents them from entering areas of the house where children may play.
