Having a baby in your home is a wonderful experience and their safety is always a top priority. Safety gates are an essential tool for parents with babies and toddlers, particularly as they start to develop with both their curiosity and mobility taking off.

Safety gates are designed to create barriers to prevent young children from accessing parts of the house that may be potentially dangerous. Safety gates are especially important to keep children away from staircases, which are a leading cause of accidents in the home. They also prevent children from accessing rooms with sharp or breakable objects, poisonous chemicals or medicines. The gates come in different widths and styles including pressure-mounted or hardware-mounted gates, giving parents options to choose based on their particular needs and preferences.

Not all standard safety gates fit all areas of the home. This is where extending safety gates come in. They can be adjusted to fit different sizes of doorways or staircases, making them very versatile. They usually cover an opening of up to around 100cm, providing convenient adjustability in opening width down to around 60cm. These gates provide so much more flexibility than standard gates and are particularly useful if the gate is going to be re-positioned regularly around different parts of the house with varying opening sizes.

By using extending safety gates, parents can have peace of mind knowing that their child is safe and secure, with a suitably sized gate securely installed, keeping them away from potential accidents.
