Why can a KiddyGuard® gate only be used with children up to 2 years old

In adherence to safety standards, stairgates are typically advertised as suitable for children up to 2 years of age. Beyond this age, children often exhibit increased dexterity and a sense of adventure. They become capable of figuring out ways to open or climb over stairgates, rendering it challenging for any type of stairgate, including the KiddyGuard®, to guarantee accident prevention.

At this stage, it is essential to recognize that no stairgate can provide absolute security for children over the age of 2. Instead, parental supervision emerges as the most effective form of ensuring their safety. By closely monitoring and actively engaging with your child during this phase, you can actively address potential risks and create a secure environment. Remember, the combination of appropriate safety measures and responsible supervision remains paramount as your child continues to grow and explore.
