Its also made in America. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-636198 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:19:03 +0000 mediagirl 636198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby gate posts are always so tough. I think I've asked about them twice now and never really gotten a lot of suggestions. I'm still looking for a good one for the bottom of our stairs....I wonder if a lot of people just don't use them or don't have need for them (like a lot of HB'ers live in apartments?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-636187 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:15:04 +0000 Mrsbells 636187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok thanks guys!! I think that stairway at our new place is wider than average. I will measure it first before ordering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-635200 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:32:47 +0000 banana 635200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I measured ours and then bought the gates + extensions accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-635076 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:24:00 +0000 anbanan15 635076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We assumed it would fit. They do sell additional steel extension pieces and with them it fits up to 54"! Ours is used in the doorway to DS's room per our vets recommendations so that our very attached dogs could always see LO and us...doorway is standard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-634884 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:22:03 +0000 Mrsbells 634884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: @banana: Both gates look great. Did you measure your doorway before ordering or did you just assume it would fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-634881 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:20:55 +0000 Mrsbells 634881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for more recommendations :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-630717 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:18:53 +0000 Mrsbells 630717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. Yes we would definitely screw it into the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-629040 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:31:38 +0000 anbanan15 629040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one and love it. It's a swing gate which I really like and you can put it in by ether tension or screwing it into the wall. <a href="http://www.munchkin.com/wood-steel-designer-gate-deco" rel="nofollow">http://www.munchkin.com/wood-steel-designer-gate-deco</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-629022 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:20:47 +0000 banana 629022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have the dream baby gate and love it! it auto closes which is great. and you can either pressure mount it or screw it in. for top of stairs you should definitely screw them in. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000EIGJQ2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000EIGJQ2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-628526 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 13:32:12 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 628526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been happy with our extra tall/wide Munchkin gates so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-628523 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 13:30:39 +0000 Pink Champagne 628523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious about this as well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-recommend-a-baby-gate#post-628224 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:04:30 +0000 Mrsbells 628224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are moving in a few weeks to a bigger apartment but unlike our current place it is on the second floor instead of ground floor, so we need a solid baby gate to put at the top of the stairs. We currently have the play yard by Northstates and I'm wondering if I should get a gate by them or if you guys recommend a different brand </p>
