Installing a child safety gate or pet gate is not always easy, especially at the top of the stairs. Each house can have different mounting conditions that can affect installation such as hollow walls, banister posts, baseboards, baluster spindles, and more. Fortunately there are gate mounting kits available that can make it much easier to get your safety gates installed properly. Below are the merits of each available gate kit.

Hi. This blog is a good resource for new parents. I would like to her your opinion on peoples attitude to babyproofing. In my experience some parents get very touchy when you make suggestions to them as if they are afraid to discuss it. I think the decision on how far to take it is very personal and parents can be unwilling to talk about it in case they are judged for what they dont do. The vast number of parents are very careful and try to strike a balance between protecting and over restricting their children. I think there should be more infomation available.
