The Top 4 Baby Gates
We have been preaching about all aspects of safety on this blog for a long time. We have covered a ton of products that take care of different aspects of baby safety. From the best organic bug spray to organic baby cereal, we have covered a lot of the bases that are going to ensure a healthy and safe upbringing for your precious one. However, when it comes to taking safety measures for your babies, you can never be too careful. A big reason is how sensitive and delicate they are. Secondly, it takes a while for them to develop the instincts of self-preservation. While you can try your best to give your baby the best massages and wipe it down with the most sensitive wipes for wholesome inner strength, ensuring its physical safety is going to be a hard juggle.
You have to keep your baby from both getting harmed and also from harming itself. There has to be a safe space for it to play and frolic that is separated from the more dangerous parts of the house. Babies require the utmost attention at all times. Sadly, this is not going to be the case for you at every moment. You are going to have to do your chores or attend the door or take care of something else around the house. In such a situation, you need something to guarantee that your baby won’t stray far away from its safe space and injure itself. In such a case, the best thing to turn to is a baby gate that can be used to separate sections of the house to restrict access.
Before You Buy A Baby Gate
Before we dive into this list, we want to remind you to take accurate measurements of the area of the house that you want to cordon off. There is a saying amongst carpenters and metal workers to measure twice and cut once. In this case, it is measure twice and to “buy” once. Another thing to remember is to follow the instructions in the manual while installing these gates to a “T”. We see a lot of complaints in the reviews or warnings in the product descriptions about things not fitting together properly or there being improper gaps. If you just take some time to read through the instructions then you will save yourself a lot of pain down the road. This is just something simple but crucial to keep in mind.
So with that out of the way, let us look at the best baby gates on Amazon that can keep your baby safe and away from the areas of the house that it shouldn’t be in.
Regalo Easy Open 47-Inch Super Wide Walk Thru Baby Gate
Regalo is a brand that shows up at the top when you search for baby gates. It is wildly popular in this category and for good reason. This particular baby gate is Amazon’s Choice for its amazing quality and great reviews. It is 30 inches tall and is expandable horizontally. The gate has a pressure mount design that is quick to set up. The gate is certified to both JPMA and ASTM standards.
This gate also includes multiple safety-lock features along with four wall cups for added security. You can even buy additional extensions separately if you want to cover a larger length later down the line. The modularity and easy availability of this design make us recommend it to all our readers.
Regalo 192-Inch Super Wide Adjustable Baby Gate and Play Yard
Regalo again shows up on our list for this model which covers an impressive almost 200 inches of length. It can be used to section off a whole area of the house like a wide space, angled openings, hallway, doorway, or the bottom of the stairs. With this much wiggle room, you can fashion the arrangement into any pattern that makes the most sense to you. You can even fold it onto itself and make a circle that makes a small playpen. It is 28 inches tall and you get 8 panels. There are no tools required for its setup which is quick and easy. The play yard is PVC free and uses a non-toxic powder coat. It meets the ASTM standards and JPMA certification.
Toddleroo by North States Portable Traveler Baby Gate
We like this one for the portable design since it is light due to the mesh fabric construction. It still uses metal bars for support. You get the best of both worlds with this one. The baby gate pressure mounts easily by adjusting the extendable bars and inserting them into the fabric sleeves. It is safe and secure to mount with no wall damage. The company that makes these, North States, claims to have been making homes safer for children and pets since 1953. We don’t want to argue with credentials like that and heartily recommend this one!
Perma Outdoor Retractable Baby Gate
This selected this one because of the great balance between sturdiness and ease of use. The sturdiness is required because this one is meant to be used outside the house. It is 33 inches tall and up to 71 inches wide. All the installation materials required for hardwood or brick walls are included in the box. The gates meet or exceed both ASTM or EN standards. Each gate is certified and includes a 1-year limited warranty.
Once installed, this one operates using one-handed operation. It allows you to open and close while holding your child. All you have to do is push, twist, and release the button and then pull on the handle to extend the gate. It is this dedication to ease of use for already stressed-out mommies and daddies that we decided to highlight this one. It also comes in three different colors, if what we said so far wasn’t enough!
So that was our list of the best baby gates that we found on Amazon. We know that you must be excited to pick one of these up to reorder your house. Your little one deserves the safety of these gates and you deserve the peace of mind knowing that your little angel is going to be safe. This is a no-brainer purchase and we are glad that you decided to stop by and consider our picks!
Love,
Scooch and Steve
