Baby Gate is a great tool to keep children away from the dangers of a home. A baby gate is often used to keep children away from stairs or other objects that could cause injury. Another use for the baby gate would be to keep the child or children in one room or part of the house to ensure that they are always in view of the adult.
There are many harmful chemicals and obstacles in the typical home. By using a baby gate to keep children away or out of rooms with such dangers, it makes it easier for the adult to take care of children safely.
Using a baby gate at the top or bottom of a stairway is a great idea. Children who are learning to crawl love to crawl up the stairs and don’t know that they might fall while trying to crawl up the stairs. In addition to preventing crawling babies from going up the stairs, an even greater danger is the crawler falling down the stairs. Children as young as 8 months don’t know that stairs are dangerous. They see stairs as a new area to explore, not a danger. The baby gate is a must have for crawlers.
Another use for the baby gate is to keep children in a specific area or room. With multiple children in a house, it is even more difficult to keep track of the children if they are left loose throughout the house. By keeping them in one room or part of the house, they are easier to care for.
Some baby gates can be hooked together. When this is done, what is known as a play den, super yard, or play yard is formed. This can be used inside a large room or the most common use, outdoors. Often these playgrounds are used for small pets indoors. When the owner of the house does not want the animal to be all over the house or does not want the children to be in direct contact with the animal, a playground is used. A game den is great to use when playing in an unfenced outdoor area. The play den can be used for children too young to understand that they must stay in one area. The play den is also ideal for the crawling baby. A blanket can be placed inside the play yard to provide a soft surface for crawling.
