Safety Gates help prevent falls down stairs and keep children away from dangerous areas. Look for sturdy safety gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that adults can open and close without difficulty. For the top of stairs, gates that screw to the wall are more secure than "pressure gates." New safety gates that meet safety standards display a certification seal from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have an older safety gate, be sure it doesn't have "V" shapes that are large enough for a child's head and neck to fit into. Shop for a variety of safety gates for any room, stairs and fireplaces.
