Lindam Easy Fit Plus

We got two of these for up and down the stairs when my little one started cruising around. So 2 years on, they are still there. It was easy for hubby to put them. We needed to get used to open it. BUt once you get the hang of it you will realise how to open it one handedly. Which is good because seeing us doing by one hand my toddler now tries to replicate us unsuccessfully. The only minus is, you need to keep checking if it still on place and if it moved a little (toddler tantrum) than put it in place in order to prevent future falling. Otherwise I can not fault it. We do not need them now. But it is a brill excuse to keep them shut when there are loads of guests with kids around. These stop them to go upstairs and messing there, phew...

The stairgate was very easy to put up and took about 10 minutes to go from in the box to fixed to the wall which was great.

It is very difficult to open one handed which is a shame but does make it harder to determined little ones to accidentally open it.

The major problem with the gate is that when used on slightly unusually designed stairs its internal pressure can cause it to gradually warp itself out of shape and damages the wall or stairs where it attaches.

It also cannot withstand the weight of an adult falling onto it via the stairs, it is likely to come free from the wall in those circumstances but hopefully not many people will have that problem.

Overall it is a good product but it works best with standard width stairs with no unusual features.

Easy to put up and operate. Once toddler is older they can slide it out of place by climbing on it though, slight damage to paintwork where it is fixed to the stairs but overall very good value for money.

very easy to set up and use. The opening isn't as wide as other stairgates though and it's quite easy to catch DS's legs as I sidle through. Very good price though.

I really love this gate. I live in a house with very narrow doorways and this was the only gate narrow enough to stay put. We also used it at the top of the stairs and found it sat easily, without being a trip hazard and didn't move when knocked. We also found it was one of the few gates our daughter couldn't open!
