When should I install a Baby Safety Gate?
From 6 months up to 2-3 Years Old. Generally, safety gates are most helpful for children between 6 months and 2 or 3 years old. This is when they’re most likely to be curious and explore unsupervised.
You should install a baby safety gate when your little one is 6 months old or before they start crawling. This might seem early, but babies develop quickly. Ideally, have gates in place at the top and bottom of stairs before your child turns 6 months old.
Use hardware-mounted gates for stairs, as pressure-mounted ones can be less secure.
