    Baby Gate

    I am in need of a baby gate for the end of my stairway, it's can't be the pressure type due to the location. If I am going to get a wall mounted one I would like to be able to take it down when I don't need it. And I don't want to spend a fortune.

    Do any of you use anything like this?

    Target has one that works really well. You mount the hardware and when you don't need the gate it slides up and out.

    Here it is...



    I didn't have any problems installing! I did most of it myself!

      I actually purchased my two from Toys r us, and I know Walmart .com has the same ones. They are more expesive than the cheapo ones, but they are awesome- they have a swinging door that shuts behind you. Also is pressure mounted, you can take down at anytime, and is not ruining yur walls!!! I love my two!!! You will also!! They are the best!!!

        I think that they are for the top of the stairs...here at least you can't use pressure mounted. There are gaits specifically designed to be used in stairways and they are always installed with hardware.

            I need something that isn't pressure mounted, they won't work in the space that I have.

              That's really interesting. What brand is it? I've searched and searched and haven't found a pressure mounted stairway gate. And, to be honest, every single website said never to use a pressure mounted gate on the stairs. In MN it is against licensing to do so.

                Oh, sorry!! They do have extensions on these gates as well. They might work after all- just measure what you need it for.

                  A couple of good ones that are adjustable and use pressure to stay in place.

                  North States Top-Notch Gate, Plastic Pressure Mount Gate - $16.06

                    I have tried every single cheapo one out there, and they do not work at all!!! I found this one thru an open house on a house for sale. I purchased mine under Walmart.com- I have heard they are also at Toys r us as well. I can check on the brand as well- they are wonderful!!!

                      I used the plastic one for years. It is easy to remove, you just have to be careful not to apply too much pressure or else it will stress over time.

                      @ Iowa Daycare - can you post the picture here when you find it?

                        OK, they aren't cheap, but they do fit where a lot of other gates cant -
                        I just got this one and LOVE it!

                            How to Place Pictures in your Post

                            --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            If anyone would like to post their picture in your reply it is pretty easy if your pictures are already on the web or on your computer. There are two ways to do this. Either use an existing internet address (URL) of an image OR by upload an image from your computer to our servers as an attachment. on on your computer


                            Post an image from and existing URL web address (the gate pictures above):

                            1) First find the picture on the webpage and right click your mouse over it. Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the dropdown window.
                            2) Copy the entire address (URL) of the picture. It will look like this: https://www.daycare.com/premiumpages/00138466/6.jpg
                            3) In your reply to this post you will see an icon that looks like a mountain.
                            Click on it and post the address that you copied for your picture.
                            Attached Thumbnails

                            The Second way is to upload a picture as an attachment:

                            1) After writing your post look below your comment area and you will see a button called Manage Attachments.
                            2) Click on the button and you will see 4 areas to upload load files.
                            3) Once you choose the image from your computer, click on the "Upload Image button".
                            4) Once the image is uploaded you will see the image name under "Current Attachments"
                            5) Click on the Close Window button and the bottom and post your image. I will include one at the bottom:
