| Just looking at childproofing the kitchen off with a gate. There seem to be a few to choose form. Any tips on what to look for? |

It depends on the gap (width etc)and what you are attaching it to. Some open and close easier as well. Consumer did a thing on safety gates a while back and they have a list of things to look out for. Like width of gap between bars, do you have to step over a bottom rail, is it easy to open/close with one hand, are there bars at bottom baby can climb up on, etc
Also beware of Trademe, I was looking at a gate which would have cost $120.00 on trademe but I brought it from a shop for $69.00. ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007

yup definitely measure the gap you need to fit.
We're renting out place, and it seems there was some renovations done on the house - and the doorways that were added are a difficult size to match to a gate. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| One of the walls is not square with the other (i.e. on a slant) Does that matter or can you adjust the ends of he gates to fit on a diagonal wall? |
