How To Identify A Quality Safety Gate When Childproofing

How do I identify a quality safety gate?

You really get what you pay for with child safety gates. You can find some at the retail stores for $40 to $50 that are great for the checkbook but when you get them home and get them installed, they are poor quality: just rickety and they're difficult to open and close and it makes you crazy if it's in a high traffic area. The quality safety gates that I recommend and the gates that I love and use in my own home are gates that are seamless. They are so simple to open and close. In fact, there's one gate that you can carry a baby and a handbag and literally open it with one free finger and kick it closed. So functionality is very, very important in a quality safety gate for busy mothers, and you might want to consult your child safety professional for the gate that would work best in your home.
