really easy to use even on my own when my husband is out as we only use it when the grandchildren stay rest of the time it is stowed away

By Can't do it yourself mum! from Wolverhampton on 7/21/2008

Very sturdy and easy to install product. It didn't have loads and loads of small parts to put together. It's great.

By happy mum from lancashire on 7/21/2008

By Nan to be from Bedford on 7/21/2008

Excellent for keeping my dog out the lounge - bought in advance for my grandson to be in November - double use - brill.
It is so easy to use even with one hand.

By Yummy Mummy from London on 7/20/2008

Great value and perfect for it's purpose. The only slight downside is that you have to drill holes in the walls but at least it is secure.

By Queen Choo from Cornwall on 7/18/2008

Really easy to set up and easy to open and close with one hand, which i found a problem with another one I have. Absolutely fantastic.

By Hands on daddy from Suffolk on 7/16/2008

This really was the best gate for us! Our little boy has just started to crawl and these gates came the next day and were so easy to put up the misses did it while i was at work! They are sturdy and lightweight i really would recomend these gates to a friend!

By Maruxa from Bedford on 7/14/2008

This is our second stairgate and I have to say it's much better and much cheaper that the first one we bought. Easy to use and it only took a few minutes to install. A great buy!

By winnie from kendal, cumbria on 7/8/2008

Very easy to put up. Managed to get them up before the little man even noticed!

By First time mum from Kelty, Fife on 7/7/2008

Great value for money, very easy to install and easy to use.

By grannie from leamington spa,warwickshire on 6/29/2008

i use it to keep my two dogs from going upstairs,i found everything about it very good.

By skint (from buying all the baby stuff) from Lichfield staffs on 6/24/2008

It was easy to fit to the stairs, and we only used the suction cups to hold it into place. Straight forward and quick to open.

By a more relaxed mum from dunfermline on 6/23/2008

it took me 5 minuted to essemble once it arrived and was so easy to use even my 5 year old nephew who has a problem with his thumb could manage it,now i can have 1 less thing to worry about my son getting to things he shouldnt.

By Big guy from Staffordshire on 6/15/2008

Bought primarily for a new Puppy but naturally it is useful for the small Human visitors as well

By JEAN THOMAS from TELFORD SHROPSHIRE on 6/15/2008

I BOUGHT THE STAIR GATE FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTERS 1ST BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK, HER PARENTS ALREADY HAD ONE FITTED GATE, BUT YOUR PRODUCT IS BY FAR SUPERIOR AND THEY ARE VERY VERY PLEASED WITH THE PRESENT.

By James' mam from Gwent, South Wales on 6/12/2008

I find this gate easier to open one-handed while carrying my son than the Lindam gate that I own. It is very easy to install and use. The negatives are that it is a bit noisy when opening and closing and the movement is a bit rickety.

By Small dog lover. from Quorn,Leicestershire on 6/11/2008

This safety gate is really easy to install in doorways.
I use it when I have the door to my flat open,and this allows my yorkshire terrier to play in the hallway and not run out into the carpark.

By mumof 4 from bedfordshire on 6/9/2008

easy to install, good instructions, bar at the bottom is higher than other stair gates and could pose a trip hazzard when using at the top of stairs.

By Doting Grandad from Luton, Bedfordshire on 6/5/2008

[...]

By Busy Mum from Birmingham on 6/5/2008

I use this on bedroom and door and I have 1 on the stairs aswell, Its easy for an adult to open it

By caz3as from cumbria on 6/4/2008

Fantastic product really sturdy and easy to put up does not have to be drilled into door frame, like many do so can easily be removed. Great price.

By Busy mum from Teddington on 6/4/2008

I'm really impressed with the gate, it was so easy to install, the instructions were clear. It's sturdy & I'd recommend it.

By DEBS from BEXHILL ON SEA, EAST SUSSEX on 5/28/2008

WE PURCHASED THIS GATE FOR OUR BACK DOOR AS WE HAVE A PUPPY AND NOW WE CAN LEAVE THE BACK DOOR OPEN WITHOUT HIM RUNNING IN AND WE CAN ALSO MOVE THE GATE QUITE EASILY TO THE CONSERVATORY IF WE NEED TO.

By Emilyg from Newton Abbot on 5/22/2008

Easy to open with one hand. Easy construction.

By Grandad Bear from Newport, Isle of Wight on 5/10/2008

Easy to put up, and difficult for me to budge

By Busy Childminder from Gravesend Kent on 5/1/2008

A must have for people with kids especially if like me you live in a town house, I have gates everywhere. Easy to use and sturdy enough to keep litle ones safe.

By spike6267 from suffolk on 4/28/2008

This is not a pure pressure mounted stairgate, you need to fix two cups to the walls before using it. The gate rattles when you shut it and it requres so much pressure to mount it that it dents walls and causes banisters to bow !! But hey it is cheap and once in its kid proof

By MarkD from South Bucks on 4/28/2008

I bought this product because I thought it would not require any drilling to fix to the wall, but the instructions say it must not be used without its fixing cups, which need attaching - my mistake I guess, but the gate is very narrow indeed - especially when carrying a baby. The assembly was no problem anyway, which is more than can be said for another gate I have, and the only other niggle is that it rattles quite a lot when opening/closing

By spike6267 from bury st edmunds on 4/27/2008

This is not a pure pressure mounted stairgate, the headline description is misleading. You need to fix two cups to the wall with screws according to instructions.

By Auntie Joan from Birmingham on 4/26/2008

Stops children running into the toilet and kitchen

By Mum of 2 from Brighton on 4/22/2008

Does what it's supposed to and not too difficult to put up.

By moonbeam from Cheltenham on 4/22/2008

I found this product good value for money . strong , sturdy and well made. the only drawback I found was the bar at the bottom, this could be a hazzard when coming down stairs. I bought this product for use when my Granddaughter stays . on reflection I think it is probably better to spend a little more and buy a gate with no bar at the bottom.

By TeamJLR from Barnsley, South Yorkshire on 4/21/2008

Easy to install, good value for money

By Nana from Sutton Coldfield on 4/18/2008

Got the gate for the top of the stairs. Half the price of the one I already have at the bottom!

By Alice from West Midlands on 4/16/2008

Great for little crawlers, easy to assemble i use it on the kitchen door to stop my daughter getting in when i'm cooking.

By doting grandma from enfield on 4/9/2008

used to safeguard the safety of grandchildren.

By Sleepless Dad from London on 4/7/2008

The bold that locks the bottom of the gate runs inside one of the metal bars and rattles when opening. Not too loud but noticable. However the gate was easy to assemble and sturdy and does exactly what you would want it to.

By Busy Grandma from Southwold Suffolk on 3/30/2008

Easy to use, and peace of mind that little people can't climb high up the stairs. Also with the opening gate it is easy go up and down.

By nanny from pontypool, gwent on 3/26/2008

I use it at the bottom of my stairs,my grandaughter pulls herself up on it.its sturdy and strong.

By Happy Mum from Worcestershire on 3/16/2008

My stair guard was easy to assemble and use, the best thing you don't have to climb over it yourself just use it like a gate. Excellent safety product

By tori from cumbria on 3/15/2008

cheap but very good

By Yummy Mummy from West Sussex on 3/11/2008

We have this gate in our kitchen doorway and whilst it has taken a while for us to get used to (plenty of bruised thighs from walking into it!) it's a god-send. Easy to put up and very sturdy and secure. Easy to open and close (but not for little fingers!). Great to be able to cook and let out little man roam free without fear of making his way into the kitchen. only slight negative is that the door itself is quite stiff but i assume that'll loosen up with use.

By I need my mum from Sittingbourne on 3/9/2008

The stair gates were easy enough for me to take out of the box and use straight away. They are sturdy enough to withstand my 4 year old daughter swinging on them and safe enough for my baby to stand up against.

By amanda coleman from cumbria on 2/27/2008

i would buy the star gates again . i am an first time parent . it keep my niace out of the kitchen . and when my little one bigger out of getting up the stairs. i would say to people to buy the gates as they are exellent and very bring price thanks again . i buy 3 of them.amanda coleman

By Schnakes from Berkshire on 2/27/2008

How I use the Product - I am a registered childminder working from my own home. I needed three stairgates, one for the top and bottom of the stairs and one for the kitchen.

Things that are great! - This stairgate is incredibly easy to put up. This is the third type of stairgate I have tried. The first was very flimsy, so I took them down. The next was strong but very difficult to put up. When we took them down to get some furniture up the stairs it was nigh on impossible to put back. So I bought these little beauties. They are sturdy, strong, and so quick and easy to instal I nearly cried with relief, having struggled for literally HOURS with our old ones!!! These are smart and tidy and the latch is easy to open if you have a nice big adult hand!

Things that arent so great - the bottom rail is quite chunky, so I have decided not to use it on the top stair because its a trip hazard. Apart from that they are perfect!

By busy mum from London on 2/25/2008

I bought one of these stair gates last year and got another because it is safe, reliable and sturdy. I would recommend it to anyone. Plus it's good value for money

By Callum's mum from Enfield, Middlesex on 2/21/2008

We bought the gate as it was pressure mounted. however there are cups that have to be screwed into the wall and the gate is mounted with pressure within the cups.

Once set up the gate is very sturdy but easy to use with one hand (for when you're carrying baby or wriggling toddler).

We have ours at the bottom of our stairs. In the instructions it shows that the gate is to be used at the very bottom or very top of the stairs so it's not actually on a step but on the hall/landing floor. Our banister starts at the bottom step so we can't put the gate up on the hall floor as we have no banister to apply the pressure. We've had to set ours up on the 1st step and push it right up against the next step to try and give us sufficient foot space on the step. It's not ideal. We have a kiddieguard (rollerblind type gate) at the top of the stairs which would have been ideal but they are quite pricey so we could only get 1.

Hope this review was of use and I've not rambled on too much.

By Mum of four from Wiltshire on 2/18/2008

A very simple gate to use and can be put up in minutes.

By Deeksie from Thatcham, Berkshire on 2/17/2008

you can't beat this for value !!

By mum of 3 from london on 2/13/2008

Keeps children (and pets) out of rooms you rather they not go in, or in rooms you rather they not get out of!!

By shimmy from Bracknell on 2/11/2008

Easy to assemble and fit to our doorways,

By dog owner from berkshire on 2/8/2008

This is advertised as being pressure mounted installation ie no drilling. Manufacturers instructions say it should ALWAYS be used with screw fixed "cups".
Pressure too strong, at the when fixed between wooden staircase post and wall, staircase creaked.

By stressed dad from manchester on 1/29/2008

dont need anything else

By MumsRus from Newcastle under lyme on 1/29/2008

This easy to use Stair Gate gave us peace of mind that our child was out of most dangers, contained within a safe environment. Easy to install by pressure mounting meant no permanent fixing and screws for those non DIYers. No complains at all.

By Max_Normal from Brighton on 1/28/2008

There's not much to say about this, it's a stair gate, it's pressure mounted, it's sturdily made out of metal, it has an easy clip down catch system.
Just the same and just as good as any stair gate, but much cheaper as you are not paying for big brand names.

By rachelm22 from portsmouth on 1/28/2008

value for money, but the sqeaking is driving me nuts and they're only 2 months old

By shell from Middleton, Manchester on 1/27/2008

This product was very easy to use and is very effective for the purpose for which it was designed.

By Busy owner of 2 labrador puppies from Essex on 1/26/2008

i use the stairgate to contain my puppies in the utility room, especially when they are wet and dirty - it's brilliant!

By First time Dad from Bury St Edmunds Suffolk on 1/25/2008

Excellent stair gate, we like because is a simple catch that works and can be operated with one hand.

By ragreen from Aberdeen, Scotland on 1/24/2008

I looked at quite a few gates before I purchased one and this is by far, the BEST one. :-) I don't have stairs, but this gate is perfect for keeping your crawler or toddler "out" of a room OR "in" one! The gate is easy to use with one hand too. Definitely my best purchase for the price.

By Proud Nanny from Budleigh Salterton, Devon on 1/18/2008

I shopped around and when I saw these online I ordered them staight away. They seem more sturdy and easy to use than the ones my daughter has. They look nice too. Easy to install and fitted perfectly.

By rorow from forest hill,london on 1/16/2008

after a while the gate gets a bit squeaky but wd40 stops that.but nothing else that is bad about this product.

By Bunyerbird from Walton On Thames on 1/15/2008

This product is great as it just adjusts to the space you need so if you have bannisters or shaped stairs this is a great gate! To open the gate you have to put pressure on 2 points so your baby cannot do it himself but it is easily done one handed if you are carrying them.
