This Safeway Gate by KidCo is specifically designed for top of stairs use, but can also be used in hallways or as a room divider. As a hardware mounted gate, it provides maximum safety at the top of stairs and in high traffic doorways because there is no bottom threshold to potentially trip over as found on pressure mount gates. One of the original KidCo gates, the Safeway's design, functionality, and ease of use have proven it to be a parent and baby proofer favourite.
