BabyDan Copenhagen

After cycling through numerous gates for the upper level of my home, the BabyDan Odense gate has emerged as the clear victor. Here's the lowdown on why it's my top pick: Pros: Top-Notch Clarity in Instructions: The setup is a breeze thanks to crystal-clear instructions and helpful video guides. Quick and Easy Removal: It can be detached swiftly, perfect for times when you need to open up the space. Solid Construction: Made of wood and built in Denmark, it feels sturdy and well-crafted. Adjustability: It fits a range of openings from about 24 to 40 inches, making it versatile for different spots in your home. Cons: Installation Requires Tools: You'll need to be okay with using some basic tools as installation involves marking and screwing into the wall. Verdict: The BabyDan Odense gate is hands down the best gate I've tried for securing staircases. Its design is smart, with an easy removal feature that actually works as promised—don’t mind the naysayers, they probably skipped the tutorial. This gate combines safety, simplicity, and strength, making it an excellent choice for parents or pet owners. It’s a straightforward solution that actually does what it promises, making it a worthy investment for peace of mind at home.

Isn't it wonderful when our little bundles of joy turn into little explorers who seem to have a "mummy has just sat down and got comfy" sensor, that triggers them to turn into feral creatures who must venture where no baby has been allowed to venture before? Not. This was the exact issue I had with my darling daughter, so looked around for stair gates. I had used the pressure fit gates with my older children, and I wasn't having anymore so I had got rid of them. Apparently my partner didn't get the memo about no more babies, so here we are. One thing that used to really bugged me about the pressure fit gates was that there was a bar at the bottom that you have to step over, aside from the fact that it meant going through the hassle of removing the whole gate to hoover properly, it was a massive trip hazard. Somehow it only became a trip hazard after a few drinks, but I'm sure it wasn't the drink and it was definitely the stair gates fighting back. So I was looking for gates that didn't have the bar, didn't cost a fortune, and were easy enough for my older children to operate without being flimsy enough for my feral creature to rip it down, (another issue we had with the pressure fit gates, my eldest used to try and be a monkey to climb over it and after a few attempts it would cause the gate to move and come away, taking half the wall and most of my sanity with it) I originally bought 2 of these gates that weren't extendable, exactly the same but just a standard door way width. They are perfect, exactly what I wanted, and fitted the kitchen door way perfectly. However, they weren't wide enough for my stairs, so I was starting to worry that I'd end with a bar beating me again, but then like a shining beacon of hope, this extendable gate appeared on my suggested items. It is absolutely perfect, easy to install, easy to operate, and the little devil in disguise can't get it open/off the wall as its screwed in!! Mummy 1-0 Daughter. For now. I'm sure she'll change that in no time.

This baby gate is solid and very easy to operate. Opening and closing it takes just a couple of seconds and can be done one-handed, which is super convenient when you’re carrying a child or other items. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the plastic cap on the opposite end of the opening can snap out of place if you’re not careful — it’s a minor issue, but worth mentioning. Important tip for installation: Be sure to carefully follow the instructions and use the included paper strip guides when placing the screws. I accidentally cut the guides incorrectly and tried to eyeball the screw placement, assuming they should be directly across from each other. That was a mistake — the screws actually need to be installed at a slight diagonal so the gate can lift and lock properly into place. I ended up having to redo the installation because of this. Save yourself the hassle and use guides!

When we decided to foster dogs pending their permanent rehoming, I realised that I needed to put a gate in my open front porch as we have no gates on our front driveway. This was the only economically priced gate that I could find that would fit across the porch without the need to purchase costly extension pieces. The width of the gate is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of gaps. It was very easy to fix in place even for a mere woman like me. The locking mechanism, dessigned to be toddler proof, is also dog proof. The gate is sufficiently high to keep up to a medium [labrador] sized dog safe and within the home when an external door is open. My gate has now been in place for around nine months and is still working perfectly. I have every confidence that it will continue to keep my dog safely secured within my home when the front door is open. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone wanting a gate to keep either toddlers or their dog safely out of harms way whether the intention is to use this item in a stairway, an internal doorway or in the same manner as that in which I have used it.

We needed my husband and son working at their best to put this together and install it. You need a wall that is the same all the way up - no skirtingboard - so my son added a wooden part to the wall to make it even. Such a faff. However, once properly installed it is sturdy, easy to use, and easy to remove when the grandchildren have gone. If you can cope with the demands on your DIY skills (I couldn't!) it's a very good gate.

Was looking to see if any reviews if suitable to go across landing instead of stairs ,, fits perfect and easily adjusted, can be tricky to fit but once sorted does the job perfect, hope this helps for people with same idea

Little lad loves it. He’s 10 months old. Nice and chunky figures.

Prodotto molto buono e solido, una grande sicurezza in più!

Nice light solution to stop our baby and rabbit to go wondering upstairs. The wall attachments needed to be narrow in our case and it meets that requirement well. Older kids have to use both hands to open but teens and grownups can handle it with one. The installation was quite smooth.

Just pictures for instructions but I managed to install it without any mistakes. The bolts joining the two wooden sections together were too short so I had to buy 4 bolts but cost was less than $1. It is just as I imagined and very easy to use

Todo bien. Fácil de montar.
