Quote of the week

David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

We have wide curving stairs as nothing else would fit. We still had to get our handyman to put in a wooden post to fix it to as our metal newel posts are narrow and not too robust

Pricey, but great if you:

- have a wide or awkward space

- dont want a bar to trip over at the base

- want to be able to hide your gate when no kids around

I can manage to open it one handed some of the time but the mechanism could be improved. And if you want it to close without a noise after youve put dc to bed then its a 2 handed job.

This is a brilliant product. I have one on stairs and another to seperate our open-plan kitchen and dining room when I am cooking etc.

There is no bar to trip over when you go through, and best of all when it is rolled back you hardly know it is there. Strongly recommend it.

You don't realise what a good idea it is to have a gate without a bar at the bottom until you have one with a bar and continually trip over it! Slightly expensive and a little bit tricky to fit but well worth it.

fantastic product, really discreet when not in use and really safe (lo's take longer to figure it out!!)

Good for difficult spaces. Not easy to open and shut - I definately can't do it with one hand or while holding a baby. It comes with two sets of wall attachments - so we used it to cover the bottom of the stairs or the width of the hallway to stop the dog from getting out if the front door is open.

Expensive for an everyday stairgate but great for awkward spaces.
