It blocks your child's access to an area that is normally open and keeps him safe from possible injury. Safety 1st baby gates play an important role in keeping your child out of harm's way.

Features
-
Safety 1st offers different style baby gates, depending on your preference. Wood security gates are the least-expensive and most-popular style; the gate features a wood frame that is pressure mounted. The Easy-Fit Security Gate, with a plastic frame, comes with a memory feature, making reinstallation fast. The biggest visual difference is the wood frame versus the plastic bulky frame. The plastic is ultimately more sturdy and resilient, because the wood can crack if it is hit with hard force and is not very sturdy. Safety 1st's plastic baby gates offer a contemporary look.
