These types of baby safety gates are not that expensive and provide you with much needed peace of mind when enjoying a warm fire on a cold winter's night. Not only will the gate protect your child from the fire, but it also prevents accidents and falls around the hearth area where you find dangerous corners and hard bricks.

The gate itself is designed to fit hearths up to 6 feet wide and 2 feet deep. If you happen to have a larger fireplace you can easily buy an extension kit to fit any size of fireplace, regardless of size.

Since this fireplace baby gate is portable you can use it anywhere around your home that you have a fire going, such as the barbeque grill. Included with the KidCo baby gate is a walk through door that easily opens in either direction and features a one-hand release mechanism.
