I live in a split level home, which means two sets of stairs - one going up from the main level, the other one going down. I was initially using plastic gates which had to be completely removed in order for anyone to go up and down the stairs, to the bathroom, our bedrooms, etc. This meant that we were moving these gates several times a day, and it was such a pain to do, especially since the gate had to fit just right in order to be secure and safe.

When my oldest child started becoming more mobile, I decided I needed to find a baby gate that was perfect for high traffic areas. All the trouble I was having with the plastic gates, lead me to look for a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution. After doing a lot of research I happened upon the Evenflo Top-of-Stairs Wooden Gate. This gate was exactly what I was looking for. It mounts to the wall and is operated with a one-handed release. Plus the whole gate can be easily taken off of the mount during those times when you don’t need a gate.

The Evenflo Top-of-Stairs Wooden Gate is easy to use. A one-handed (toddler proof) release is all that is needed to open and then close the gate securely. I can carry either of my kids and with one had make sure the gate is secured behind me. The durability of this gate is worth a mention too - my 35 pound son has practically bounced on this gate and it is still going strong two years later. Also, the neutral wood doesn’t present the eye sore that we had with other types of gates.

The Evenflo Top-of-Stairs Wooden Gate stands 27″ tall, and fits 28-43″ openings. For more information on this gate please visit Evenflo’s Website.
