We need safety gates (3 of them) and I have no idea what a good brand is...
metal? plastic? wood? eek! too many choices! 2 of the gates need to fit our french doors so prob about 1.5 wide and the other is for a normal size door. Thanks for any suggestions  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Gates are better than barriers. Barriers, which is what most of the wooden ones are - you have to step over, rather than opening a gate. We have 2 different kinds of metal gates, basically because it was what would fit where we needed them to go - we needed one wide one for the hall & a narrow one for the stairs. Some are narrower than others, some you can buy extensions with to fit wider doors. Best to take your measurements & then see what you can get that fits! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I second taking measurements. We thought we were just going for a standard door opening but it wasn't  Metal was the way to go for us, I wanted something that opened but not too easy for the kiddies to figure out  ------------- |
