Great Vendor (The North Witch) & (Frugal Living) - The gate along with the included three extension pieces and the optional 9.5” extension work extremely well and appear to be constructed so they will be long lasting. The product itself is a solid five star item. The instructions however are by illustrations only. It took us a while to figure out how to interpret the meaning and to pick the proper configuration for our desired size. But, once we understood it was a snap to install. The people at the desertcart seller, β€œThe North Witch” in the UK are very helpful and respond in a very timely manner. This is a β€œ6” Star product and a top of the line vendor, β€œThe North Witch”. UPDATE: Just received my third BabyDan gate and second extension for the BabyDan gate. The gate itself was almost identical to the first two, perhaps a later or earlier model as it had the name embossed on the top near the hinge and also the thumb release lever. This is not a problem and is not even noticed. I only mention it as it was proof to me that the model level was different. BUT, the extension was far different. The first extension we got had one flat piece with several attached non-removable slats on it. It also included three or four individual slats that could be used as needed. All in all, the first extension we got from North Witch was very flexible and easy to use to obtain the proper width. The second extension we got (from Frugal Living) was two hinged folding gate parts with four fixed slats each and no loose slats that could be used to extend, etc.. To my knowledge, this is not the fault of Frugal Living as what we received is identical to what was pictured on the container from the manufacturer. But we almost sent it back as we only needed the addition of one slat and expected there to be at least three in the package. To use one of the hinged parts we removed the three slats from the main gate part and inserted one of the new hinged extensions. Well, now the gate won't fold as there are two folds adjacent going the same way. Inserted the other hinged part and the gate now folds but is way too long even with all the removable slats removed. Took the last hinged part from the original gate that was next to the latch end off and the length is "about" correct. The last fold is still backward but since the end is not attached when folded it can wrap around the rest and is out of the way. Again, I do not believe that this is the fault of Frugal Living but if they can send me the alternate extension and pay for the return of the "weird" extension, it would be very happy. This does not change my opinion of the gate unless the extension is a newer part, if so then I would change my rating to a three star if you required an extension. Review: The absolute baby gate solution for stairs! - This gate is PERFECT! We used it on our stairs where a traditional baby gate wouldn't work because the bottom step and banister are offset from the wall. We searched for months for a baby gate that would fit out needs and even tried a couple. All we had to show for it before we found this gate was missing paint from our walls and lots of holes. Because of the offset in our stairs/wall, it meant we had to install the gates a few steps up from the bottom, which was really awkward in that a short baby gate would loom high over your head. If the gate was open, that meant it would swing out into your walking path. If you weren't paying attention, you could take your eye out with the latching mechanism. Needless to say, it was a new danger for adults! When I came across this baby gate, I knew I had finally found the perfect solution, and I was not wrong. We had to do a little creative rigging between our banister posts because of our offset issue, but my husband is a whiz at things like that. He fitted a2x6 between the rails and attached a 2x4 to that for the gate closing mechanism. Then he attached the actual gate to the wall. The absolute beauty of this gate is that it folds up against the wall when its not in use. It doesn't swing out and create a new hazard. When you release the gate, it automatically folds back up against the wall. The only complaint I have, and its a tiny one, is that the unlock mechanism can be a little tricky until you get used to it. I truly LOVE this gate, and it is going to be around in our house for the next few years. ## Features - DIMENSIONS: Standard gate fits doorways and spaces from 25.4”- 36.2” when mounted inside door frame.

The height won't work if you have a little one that is a climber and many pets could easily jump over it, so be sure to measure and see if it will work for your needs before you purchase. These gates look much nicer that traditional baby gates and open wide to allow a larger use of the doorway than many other gates. A much better option than the mesh gates which an animal or child could easily get under. We are sold on these gates! Highly recommend watching the YouTube video before installing. ## Frequently Bought Together - BabyDan Guard Me, Auto Retractable Stair Gate, Fits openings between 55-89 cm/21.65-25 in, White, Made in Denmark - Baby Gate/Safety Gate (Pet Gate/Dog gate) - Safety Innovations No Hole Stairway Baby Gate Mounting Kit - Fits Posts from 2 3/4 inches to 3 1/2 inches Wide with Square or Round Tops - No Adhesives On Or Screws in Your Posts, (1-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12620471-babydan-guard-me-auto-retractable-stair-gate-fits-openings-between](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12620471-babydan-guard-me-auto-retractable-stair-gate-fits-openings-between) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
