We last tested the
Tippitoes Self-Closing Safety Gate, mainly to keep our dog from dashing out through the
catflap in the dead of night. The
gate had to be removed when we had
elderly friends and
family visit who needed to be able to use the downstairs loo.
Now that
Harriet is moving around we also need to be able to
separate her from the animal food.
Tippitoes Extendable Non-Trip Safety Gate seemed to fit the bill.
As the
gate needs to be fixed to a "sound and rigid surface", my
friend Geoff came to do the honours. The actual gate is relatively
easy to install but he felt that the
extendable section in the middle was "
unnecessarily complicated". Fortunately we didn't need to
extend it.
Suitable for use for
children up to the age of
24 months, the single
panel fits
sizes 62-68 cms with
five adjustable positions allowing an
extension from
68 cm to 102 cms. The gate
opens both ways for ease of
use.
We're
really pleased with how the
gate looks (but I'm still lifting my feet to "
step over" the the non-existent base bar!).
