A BABY GATE OR CHILD SAFETY GATE IS A PROTECTIVE BARRIER DESIGNED TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN (AGES 6-24 MONTHS) FROM ACCESSING AREAS OF A HOME WHERE THEY MIGHT BE UNSAFE, SUCH AS STAIRWAYS AND KITCHENS.
A baby gate or child safety gate is a protective barrier designed to prevent young children (ages 6-24 months) from accessing areas of a home where they might be unsafe, such as stairways and kitchens.[1] Baby gates are typically constructed of metal, plastic and/or wood, and can be expanded to fit in a range of doorway widths.[2] They may be designed for use indoors or out, and may be either hardware or pressure-mounted.
Pressure-mounted gates are typically held in place by friction with the walls on either side, while hardware-mounted gates are screwed into the wall studs and swing fully open like a door. There are hardware-mounted gates that can be customized to fit wide and irregularly-shaped openings, as well as mesh retractable gates that roll out of the way.
Baby gates are also frequently used to contain small pets, especially ones that are not housebroken. A pet gate may not meet the voluntary standard for baby gates. Baby gates should be removed once a child is capable of opening or climbing over the gate.
Child safety seats are seats designed specifically to protect children from injury or death during collisions.
Various methods of baby transport have been used across different cultures and periods and for different ages of child. Methods can be divided between wheeled devices including baby carriages (carrycots in British English), strollers (pushchairs), slings, backpacks, baskets, infant car seats and bicycle carriers.
