Are You Buying A Baby Safety Gate That Is Certified Safe?

One of the most important aspects of buying baby gates for stairs, pressure mounted baby gates, or any other type of gate, is to be sure you are buying one that is certified safe.

You should be able to see on the frame or the box it comes in, a sticker that shows the gate meets minimum safety requirements prescribed by the (ASTM) American Society for Testing and materials.

The manufacturer should also be a participant in the certification program by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. (JPMA)

This means that the baby gate meets safety standards for areas such as strength of the gate, size of slat openings, gate side height, integrity of latch mechanism and other standards.
