Winner of Mother & Baby's Best Design Award, and Practical Parenting's Best Buy Award, the KiddyGuard^TM really is a stairgate like no other. Highly innovative, it works on the same principle as a roller blind, simply "disappearing" when not in use, so there's no horizontal bar to trip over, and no unsightly, swinging gate to bang against. Safety features include a unique toddler-proof catch, an automatic locking system and singlehanded operation (essential when carrying a baby).
