Do you remember your baby’s first step? I do!  We were in a mall and suddenly my baby managed to walk few steps. I was so proud of her, and so was her dad and all the people surrounding her in the mall. But when we got home, reality hit. I was not as cheerful. I was afraid she would fall the stairs. We had to adjust quickly and get a baby gate as soon as possible. Baby gates are designed to help keep exploring little ones from going into areas that are off-limits, like stairs and other rooms of the house. Here are some great baby gates for hallways and staircases.

  1. Those gates will be so helpful for first time parents. It’s really a good way to keep yourself from being worried about where your baby crawls to.

    It is very important to have a secure baby gate. I also like the ones that open for an adult to pass through, makes life easier for adults. I’ve had to climb over one at my son’s a few times because I couldn’t get it down (the whole thing had to be taken down every time!) and this at the top of the stairs definitely wasn’t safe for me at 63!
