Evenflo Safety Gates – Protecting Your Child

Safety gates have come a long way since those accordion style safety gates of 20 or more years ago, which weren‘t very stable and had large diamond shape openings which posed a serious strangulation risk. The child safety gates nowadays vary on features such as style, mode of operation, size, mounting, etc. But no matter the style, a safety gate is a must in any home with a toddler or infant that can move independently.

The most important locations/uses for these gates are at the top and bottom of stairs, and to prevent a baby or toddler from gaining access to the kitchen. Evenflo safety gates are consistent best sellers. No matter the brand, there are things to keep in mind when choosing a safety gate.

An Evenflo safety gate will have all of the following safety, etc. features recommended by child safety experts. If the gate has slats they should be no more then 2 3/8 apart to avoid serious injuries caused by some part of a child’s body becoming trapped.

Avoid gates with hinged joints which can pinch fingers. The base of the gate should offer no toeholds and the top should be smooth so it can‘t hook clothing, jewelry, etc. Inspect wooden baby gates closely to make sure they are splinter-free.

Evenflo baby gates are sold at most major department store chains. They have several different safety gate models to choose from. These are sold under product names such as Evenflo Top of Stair Gate, Position and Lock Gate, and Soft and Wide Gate.
