Lindam are looking for 50 Mumsnetters to test out their Extending White Metal Safety Gate and/or their Easy Fit Deluxe gate.

Here’s what Matthew Wilson, Munchkin Lindam Marketing Director EMEA and dad of two says “Safety is absolutely paramount for any parent and in fact, latest research by Which? has found safety to be a top priority for new mothers and fathers. Research findings showed that safety gates are the most popular and useful products for new families – and in the run up to Child Safety Week (23rd-29th June) we’re really keen to raise awareness of just how important safety gates are, and which ones are best for each individual families’ needs.

‘Finding the right gate can be overwhelming but there really is something for everyone. Pressure Fit or Wall fix are available to fit a range of openings. Gates also have a range of handles and closing mechanisms depending on your requirements. From a Pressure Fit option such as Easy Fit Plus Deluxe™ to the top of the range Wall Fix NUMI Aluminium Extending Safety Gate, safety, quality and value are key for all gates and each now comes with a lifetime guarantee.’

For further information, and to see the wider Lindam range, please visit www.lindam.com"

Those selected will be sent either:

The 50 chosen MNers will need to be:

  • Available to receive the gates, and willing to test it over one week (19-26th May). Please only apply if you're available during this time.
  • Able to leave feedback on the feedback thread during the testing period. You'll also be asked to add a review to the stairgate review section on MN.

Everyone who takes part in the product test and leaves their feedback as requested will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £250 John Lewis voucher.

If you’re interested in taking part please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

Me too! Thanks MN, excited to receive the baby gates before my nerves are shredded to pieces! Grin

rallytog1 · 19/05/2014 12:25

Me too! First time I've been successful in anything on here! But these will be very timely for my toddling 13mo.

SweetPeaPods · 19/05/2014 15:13

Woohoo!! I'm in too. Probably far more excited than I should be!

glorious · 19/05/2014 17:15

yay me too! First time I've got one of these.

Ratbagcatbag · 19/05/2014 18:46

Ahem mumsnet my email appears to have gone missing, ill obviously let you off this time, but if you can just resend it that would be fab Grin

crimsonwitch · 20/05/2014 10:30

Yay, first time I've been picked for anything. wipes away tears of joy Perfect timing as I was going to buy a gate next week, and now I don't have too Grin

judypoops · 20/05/2014 14:29

I'm in too! Really pleased! Has anyone received their gates yet?

crimsonwitch · 21/05/2014 12:57

Hey, has anyone had the gates delivered? Its a bit difficult to review a product if its not here Confused

rallytog1 · 21/05/2014 21:50

Nope, not received mine either. They're cutting it a bit fine if they want feedback this week!

crimsonwitch · 21/05/2014 22:39

That's what I was thinking rallytog There isn't going to be much time to really see how well it performs.

BettyOff · 22/05/2014 09:09

Not got mine either. Surely there's no point reviewing something you've not had a chance to properly try out. Maybe they'll delay the feedback.

SweetPeaPods · 22/05/2014 09:54

MN I thought we were testing this 19th to 26th May?! I'm still waiting for it to arrive too.

judypoops · 22/05/2014 10:14

I'm still waiting as well, what's going on?!

judypoops · 22/05/2014 12:32

I've just got an email reply that they're going to be delivered in the next couple of days, so I guess that's the same for you all too :)

crimsonwitch · 22/05/2014 12:43

No email for me Sad I will keep checking.

judypoops · 22/05/2014 14:26

I only had an email because I emailed to ask! ;) x

crimsonwitch · 22/05/2014 14:34

I hope they delay the feedback.

Spotsondots · 23/05/2014 09:32

Relieved to hear it's not just me. Thought they'd got lost en route... Hopefully they will arrive soon and feedback delayed otherwise all we will have time to review is getting them out the packaging!

Mammabear31 · 23/05/2014 09:45

Received my gates this morning, thanks MN & Lindam! Will get them up later today :)

Spotsondots · 23/05/2014 09:52

Oh that's good, mamma!

SweetPeaPods · 23/05/2014 11:23

That's good mamma. Hope mine don't come this afternoon when I'm out!

crimsonwitch · 23/05/2014 15:39

I received mine today Smile I'm going to put them through their paces later. I am interested to see if my little Hercules (aka DS2) can pull it down.

MichelleMumsnet · 23/05/2014 16:56

Hi everyone,

If you haven't got your stair gate yet, they should be with you in the next couple of days. We'll keep the feedback thread open until 6th June so hopefully you should have plenty of time Smile.

Thanks and have a great bank holiday weekend!

Michelle

Ditsy79 · 23/05/2014 18:55

My gates have arrived today - and just in the nick of time as DD has started crawling today!

BettyOff · 23/05/2014 20:01

Bloody typical, I nipped to the supermarket at 2.30 and they tried to deliver them! Now they're 25 mins away. Oh well, road trip in the morning! Wink
