Excellent value for money! (N.B. Not great if you have skirting boards though), 25 Aug. 2014

Excellent baby gate! I bought this and the Lascal Kiddyguard Avant gate and personally I prefer this Babydan one. It folds back very neatly when not in use so excellent for when baby is asleep. It's plastic rather than mesh like the Lascal one has so it doesn't have as much flex to it which is safer for use at the top of the stairs. It is easy to open but takes a bit of practice at first and closing it is very simple. It is a silent open, no loud clicking although it does make a faint click when you lock it shut. The only negative point, which may be a deal breaker for some, is it that it is not suitable for use where there is a skirting board taller than about 1 inch high. It needs two walls without skirting for the gate to be fixed to. In theory you can buy a piece of timber the same width as your skirting and drill the gate sides to that and the wall but I suspect most people are either not bothered for that hassle or have no clue how to start sawing and measuring wood (I fall into...

Great for narrow staircases, 30 Aug. 2014

I bought these as a solution to needing to put in stairgates on narrow, twisty Victorian staircases - most gates just don't fit. I like these because they are wall-mounted and there is no trip bar - I was nervous about adding a trip bar, particularly at the top of the stairs. Unlike another reviewer, I have had to resort to buying wood to even up the wall/skirting board - not as bad as it sounds. Places like B&Q sell strips of wood for a couple of quid, in varying widths, so a good measure up and you are away. I secured these to the wall & then added the gates. It's not pressure-fit easy, but the advantages out-weigh a bit of DIY (and I'm no expert!)

Bought from Argos & delivered within 2hrs of purchase, just with standard delivery. How efficient was that!!, 4 Sept. 2015

Exactly what is needed to keep the youngsters at bay. Ideal for tight spaces &, because theres no bar underneath, no trip hazard.
