As I look after Millicent during the day andwe spend most of the time in the living room and kitchen it was ideal to havethis set up in Kitchen door as kitchens can be dangerous for little ones andMillicent always trying to get in there!

The wide walk through offers practicality for busy parents, offering more space as you pass through the gate. Go for a model with a two-way talk function to soothe your baby with your voice and a camera that pans, tilts, and zooms to ensure you don't miss a thing.

The Lindam by Munchkin Sure Shut Porte Safety Gate features a easy close push to shut closing mechanism which is convenient and hassle free. Safety gates can keep little ones safe by creating a barrier in doorways or on stairs, limiting their adventures to areas that are safer. Choose from a selection of colours, shapes, sizes and even handy safety gate extensions to find the perfect option for your home. Initially I found it tricky to assemble on my own, but with two pairs of hands it is no problem, now I can do it by myself in seconds.

And since a gate that older siblings can’t open is a recipe for parental insanity, we’re happy to report that older children (probably from seven years old) will master the mechanism instantly, and younger ones (around four to six years) should get it with a little practice. It does have someextras including secondary lock at the bottom which means you can use to open eitherway or just one way. They couldn’t move it but the 4 year old quickly worked out how to release the handle, effectively removing the gate. While most safety gates are designed to fit standard doorways, some fit wider spaces and gate extensions are also available.

I was more than happy to have the Lindam Easy Fit Plus safety gate at the top of my stairs, knowing my 2-year-old wasn't going to work out how to open it.

The extra-wide baby gate is practical, and with a double lock even the most adventurous little one won't be able to open it. The strong 4 point pressure fit power frame provides ultimate strength, whilst the double locking option provides maximum safety. pretty easy to install, but if you over tighten the outside spindle it is really hard to close the handle to fix the gate in place.The handle design allows simple one handed opening and closing and all Sure Shut gates feature wider walk-through areas for practicality. We recommend measuring from the narrowest point, usually the skirting board, and ensuring the gate you pick isn't wider than that. In accordance with safety directive EN 1930:2011, the handle makes an audible clunk as it closes, so you know it’s secure. The only thing I would say are not good are the instructions - they do not really explain the fitting, and I spent ages trying to get the bolts to attach to the gate (they don't - they just sit in and tension against the wall).
