Construction of Baby Stair Gates

Baby stair gates are constructed by wood, metal and plastic. Metal gates are generally more sturdy and long-lasting. Wooden gates are preferred by many for their appearance. While plastic baby gates can be preferable to wooden or metal gates because it usually less expensive.



Basically, much of it does come down to a matter of preference, especially once you have selected the style of stair gate that you want, but this varient does have a few advantages. Perhaps the most noticeable is that these stair gates tend to look the best, as they go with nearly any style of home décor and definitely do a good job of blending in with furniture. They also are easy to mount in a doorway, as they come with a mounting kit and can be permanently attached in just a few minutes.



The metal baby stair gate is the ideal baby stair gate for the top of the stairs. These metal versions can be hardware mounted that is why they can be used at the top of the stairs. They are also very durable, as metal will not break down very easily and this style will surely last throughout your toddlers development. The problems with metal, in comparison to a wooden baby gate, is that it can hurt a lot more if a child falls into it. It a child was to hit his or her head on a metal stair gate, it would definitely do a lot more damage than a wood one, and that is definitely something that needs to be considered before purchase.


Plastic baby gates sometime can be preferable to wooden or metal gates for a number of reasons. First, they are usually less expensive, which is quite important, especially if you wish to use more than one gate. Second, they are lighter. If you have gates that you find must be set up and take down, a wooden or metal gate can be far more difficult to move around. Finally, they can actually be safer than a wooden or metal gate. A wooden or metal gate can be more harmful if they fall on a child, and if your baby gets stuck in a gate, the flexibility of the plastic gate makes them safer.
