When to Install a Safety Gate

It’s best to install baby gates before your child begins to crawl—usually around 6–8 months old. Gates should remain in place until your child is at least 24 months old, or until they’re able to safely navigate stairs and understand boundaries.


Where to Use Baby Safety Gates

  • Top and bottom of stairs: Use screw-fit gates at the top for secure fixing

  • Kitchens and utility rooms: Prevent access to sharp objects, cleaning supplies, or hot surfaces

  • Fireplace areas: Create a safe perimeter

  • Open-plan spaces: Use gates to section off zones

  • Bedrooms and nurseries: Control movement at night or during naps

Choosing the Right Gate for Your Home

When selecting a baby gate, consider:

  • Mounting Type: Pressure fit for easy install; screw fit for permanent setups

  • Width & Height: Measure the opening to ensure the gate fits properly

  • Material: Choose between metal, wood, or mesh for aesthetic and functional needs

  • Use Case: Will it be used daily or occasionally? Do you need one-handed opening?

At Baby Travel, we provide gate measurement guides and support to help you find the right fit.

FAQs – Baby Safety Gates UK

Q: When should I start using baby safety gates?
A: Install gates as soon as your baby starts crawling—usually around 6–8 months. They should remain in place until your child is at least 2 years old.

Q: Are pressure fit gates safe for the top of the stairs?
A: It’s best to use screw-fit gates at the top of stairs for maximum stability. Pressure-fit gates are better suited for bottom stairs or doorways.

Q: Can I install baby gates without drilling holes?
A: Yes! Our pressure-fit gates require no tools or drilling, making them perfect for rented properties or temporary setups.

Q: How do I measure for a baby safety gate?
A: Measure the width of the opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Check the gate’s minimum and maximum width range before purchasing.

Q: Do baby gates damage walls or door frames?
