Baby Safety Gates

Have a 102 inch opening between living room and dining room that I would like to gate off for my 7 month old son. Having trouble finding a extra wide gate with a centered opening. Any ideas? Thank you.

Try these websites; They can customize the child safety gate not expensive. Just a tip after finding the one that fits search the name and brand on amazon and you can possibly find it cheaper.

Someone told me you can only put safety gates on stairs, never on doors. That in the states NY/NJ/PA, that’s considered child neglect or abuse. Is this true anyone?
someone also told me you cannot put a child in their room and use a safety gate on their door. They consider this the same as ‘locking’ a child in there room.

If that were true then surely ‘play pens’ wouldn’t be aloud either?

work, also because of divorce with her father i want her safety .

What exactly is your question?

I went to a catholic school, and it certainly prepares you well for highschool and the rest of your academic year. I also went there for safety reasons with my own father.

I say switch her!!

Hello I am having an issue I hope someone can help me with. I live in a apartment in albuquerque nm, on the second story. I have a 18 month old daughter I let go out with me and play on the balcony that way she’s not stuck inside all the time. Well recently my manager has told me I am no longer aloud to have the baby gate up at the top of he stairs. So basically I can’t safely have my daughter outside. Is this legal for him to do even thou it puts my daughters safety in jepardy. Any input would e helpful thank you for your time
At the momen we live in a bad neighborhood (we are moving out of here in a month) but this is not the place you take your kids downstairs to play. There is glass everywhere and people argue alot and drive like shit in the parking lot so I don’t want to put my daughter in danger. Me and my wife only have one vehicle and I work exact opposite of her school schedule and this isn’t the nieghboorhood where you take your kid for a walk in the park

If the gate attaches he can forbid it.

If it is portable he can not deny you its use, however, if you damage anything with it you need to pay for it.

My neighbor has a dog that he has for some strange reason decided to leave outside on the hottest days. There isn’t any shelter for the dog. The dog was an indoor dog. He was never leashed outside and was happy to follow its owners everywhere. the yard is unfenced and the dog would never leave the yard only follow the owners.
For some crazy unknown reason they have now left the dog outside leashed to the house with no shelter and it’s food and water to far for it to reach. They have started doing this since the weather has turned to over 100 degrees. The dog is out there day and night. The yapping is driving me nuts. I know they are home. I see them come and go. I know maybe if they are gone it isn’t a good idea to let the dog roam the house, but there are kennels that can be put in the home to save the dog from the heat and even a dog house outside would be of some help.
I have two wonderful dogs myself both indoor, but have plenty of time to roam outside in our fenced yard when they want. I don’t let they roam in the house when we are gone. I have a child safety gate on our kitchen to ensure they are safe while we are away. Lets just say we love and spoil our dogs and take every considerations to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I hate to see our neighbors dog being basically thrown out to sit in the heat after being indoors and being a good companion to its owners. I feel for it and know it has to be wondering what it did to be put in exile away from its pack. What can be done if anything for this dog? I have even thought of asking if they no longer wanted the dog and taking it in or finding it another home, but I didn’t want to make my neighbors think I was getting in their business.

Call your local Animal Control (your neighbors will not be told you complained). It may seem extreme but it is necessary. Extreme heat can permanently damage organs and lead to death. Report the lack of shelter but also the barking. If Animal Control receives enough complaints about a barking dog they can take action. Hopefully a call or visit from Animal Control to investigate the situation will be the kick in the pants your neighbors need to change their behavior. Animal Control could also seize the dog if necessary and take it to a local shelter. Once there it can hopefully find a better home with a loving family that will attend to its needs, possibly your own if you are interested. You are a very caring person and your dogs are lucky. However, unless you have a good relationship with the owners I wouldn’t confront them directly. If Animal Control cannot help you or has no influence on their behavior then possibly consider it, but only as a last resort.

Best of luck, I hope everything turns out well for the poor dog.

So first off does anyone know where I can get a baby gate for a 5 foot wide stair way? And it needs to be STURDY!!!!!!! it’s for at the top of the stairs and I dont want to be freaking out about a toddler leaning on it and falling down a flight of stairs because it wasn’t sturdy enough.

Where can I get a cheap play pen, changing table, dresser, and book shelf?

And how can I incorporate a theme into the nursery? The crib is a dark wood and the room is painted a light tan color, can’t buy a new crib set so thats out and can’t repaint. I’ve got a bumper pad that I’m going to refurbish with new fabric when I deside on the nursery theme. I was thinking about trying to find a patterned rug or something to make a theme around but I don’t know. So any ideas will be appreciated. Btw the room is for a 6 month old baby girl.
I dont think your bossy and I’m thankful for your concern, but I just thought I would let you know that nobody is going to be hanging of the gate, I’m just thinking about when shes a toddler and is in a big girl bed, what if she wakes up before me or is running around or is walking across the hallway from the bathroom or something and falls up against it? I just need a back up in case I can’t get to her before she makes it to the stairs.

Babies R us has the best baby gates.

For the rest of the stuff you can go to second shops that deal with only babies and kids. You can find stuff super cheap there and in good condition.

For the theme of nursery, just get everything in pink. Pink and tan go nice together, Pink blankets, sheets, teddy bears and a pink lamp, would look really nice.

My wife and I are arguing about our two-year old and whether or not her bedroom door needs to be latched at night while she sleeps.

I feel that it is much safer to leave it latched, even though she is too small to open it herself.
My wife wants it left ajar, thinking that it is safer that way.

I do not understand how using a baby gate is any different than a latched door, but a baby gate is not safe in a fire situation.

Her room is downstairs…
I have installed a hardwire monitor in the room, with a constant feed to my bedside table…she knows how to use it to call me.

I know that having a closed door is safer in terms of fire protection.

Please provide a link to a credible site…thanks

If you’re worried about fire you should first make sure that all of the fire alarms are in good condition in the house and practice with your daughter if the fire alarm goes off and the plan to get out of the house, and where to go once she is outside of the house. While a closed door might be good in a fire, if she can’t get out of the room period then it is no good at all because there is no guarantee that you will be able to get to her.

So first I would say make sure that your fire alarms are working before anything.

As for the door, my mom always left my door open. Mainly so she could hear me if I needed anything.

Does anyone know if they make safety gates for two edges??
the entrances to my kitchen does not have two walls it just the corner/edge of the counter and the edge of the dinning room wall so it not a flat surface i can mount a normal safety gate too and we desperately need one
my little one has learned how to climb in the oven and how to Clim up and turn the stove on and he does this all day long I am desperate to get a gate some how and the way my oven is we cant seem to find a lock for it we have tired a few but they just peel right off

Please send links of where to buy these gates for an edge vs a flat surface to mount them on

im on my mobile internet so i cant do the link, but have you tried the website "one step ahead" ive seen a ton of safety gates there

So when I got the first year safety latch gate it was a pressure mount gate but it doesnt swing out if it pressure mount. I hate that because you have to move it to go it the room. I was looking a pressure mount gates and came upon evenflo pressure mount metal gate and it has the door and I thought I might try this gate but does it swing or open without having to move it or screw it in the wall

Try the Regalo gate.You can get one online and some walmarts I think will carry them.They sound just like what you are looking for.You can also check out www.thenewparentguide.com for lots of info on baby gates and different types to fit your style…great site.Good luck:)

i got a 7 month niece and i would like to ask which safety gate will be better to put up on the stairs or on a door?

would a bar gate be better than a net gate?

Bar gate type – http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argos/images/49-3763461MMA70UC516646M.jpg

I’m assuming the niece is visiting in which case a net gate will do as you’ll be having a close eye on her anyway. For a more permanent setup the bar gates are more secure (especially for the top of the stairs) but take a bit more effort to put in. Also check the width of your stairs, especially if they are on the narrow side if you do go this route.
