As most homes will need two gates – one for the bottom and one for the top of the stairs - childproofing can start to get expensive. This well-priced pressure fit Safety 1st Easy Close Safety Gate is a superb value buy and even comes with a second optional lock for extra reassurance. It works for spaces from 73cm to 80cm on its own, or you can add extra panels. Easy to open one-handed and once you’re through, you can just give it a gentle push and it will fasten shut automatically.
