Once babies become mobile, usually around the age of 9 months, they need protection from household hazards such as staircases or doorways that lead outside. One of the most tried-and-true protection devices is a security gate. Designed to be mounted in a doorway, this wire mesh gate measures 32 inches high and fits across openings as narrow as 29.5 inches or as wide as 50 inches. There's a built-in measuring stick, so once you know the doorway measurements it's easy to instantly set the steel locking mechanism.
The pressure-mount design creates a stable barrier (even adult testers found it hard to break the gate loose), yet there's no permanent hardware installation. It's also highly portable, which means you can (and should) take it to Grandma's house or the summer beach house rental. The nontoxic, vinyl-coated mesh panel makes it sturdy enough to hold small pets, too. --Hannah Reynolds
