Do You Need a Baby Gate?

Unless you live in a one-story home and have baby-proofed every single space in your home, then you’ll likely need a baby gate. Our baby gates offer parents peace of mind when it comes to protecting children against common household safety hazards. Your baby may begin to scoot, roll, and crawl between the 6th and 9-month old mark. Therefore, a baby gate is crucial for keeping your child off the stairs, out of the kitchen, and away from other dangerous spots. You can’t be everywhere at once, so you need to do some serious baby-proofing around the house, and that starts with baby gates.

Types of Safety Gates

Consider the style security gate you want. Kohl’s offers all the major brands in safety gates including Safety 1st baby gates, Summer Infant baby gates, and Dreambaby baby gates. In addition to offering a wide selection of brands, we have baby gates in a range of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. No matter if you’re looking for a safety gate in white, black, or brown, you’ll find something that fits in your home. Whether you prefer room dividers that swing open, one you have to step over, or a hybrid, you’ll find safety gates ranging from plastic to wood with rubber bumpers that protect against damage.

There are two types of gates with different installation methods. A popular option is pressure-mounted baby gates because they rely on pressure to stay in place. They are easier to set up as they don’t require any tools and can be moved from place to place. The second option is hardware-mounted baby gates. Although they will need to be screwed into a door frame, wall, or banister, they are the safer option for stairs. Whatever option you choose, you’ll need to ensure that the baby gate slots are less than three inches apart to prevent your little one’s arms, legs, hands, or head from getting stuck in between.

Where to Install Your Safety Gate

One place that you should consider blocking off is the kitchen because of its hot stove and sharp knives. You can also place a baby gate in any room with a fireplace, as well as the top and bottom of your stairs. Stair gates come in a variety of sizes and styles, making it super easy to find the one that fits your needs. You can pretty much place a safety gate in any doorway or stairway to ensure their safety.

Pick a gate size that is either bigger or equal to your child’s height. Safety gates typically need to be 22 inches or higher so that children can’t climb over them. A bigger gate can be used even when your baby grows up.

Baby Gate Safety Tips

• Always keep your baby gate securely closed. Leaving it open increases their risk of reaching dangerous items and hurting themselves.
• Be sure to correctly assemble the gate. You’ll need to fully read the manufacturer’s manual in order to properly install the baby gate.
• Remember to place a baby gate at both the top and bottom of the stairs. You can use a hardware-mounted gate at the top and a pressure-mounted gate at the bottom.
