Eileen W

Kidsy had exactly the baby/pet gates we needed...good price...good shipping...good items. If you have children or know someone who has children...this site is a keeper! They get 10 stars!!

Quick response

Shelli F.

Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.

Highly recommend

Kidsy Customer Service Review

Josh Radcliff

Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.

Great, trustworthy experience

Lydia M

Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Great product

highThe gate is heavy and requires secure hardware mounting; pressure mounting is not recommended for top of stairs.

Community Q&A

Is this gate safe for top of stairs?
Yes, it is designed for top of stairs with hardware mount and one-way swing to prevent outward swinging over stairs.
Can it mount to banisters without drilling?
Yes, the included kit allows no-drill mounting on square banisters, but round banisters may require some adaptation.
Is it difficult to install?
Some users find it tricky, especially aligning with banisters, but the template helps.

Compared To

vs Cardinal Gates Stairway Special

Both are recommended for top of stairs, but Cardinal is simpler while Summer Infant has specific banister mounting kit. Users prefer Summer Infant for banister situations.

vs Retract-a-Gate

Retract-a-Gate is often recommended but not suitable for top of stairs; Summer Infant is better for stairways.

Source Threads

  • User recommends Summer Infant Stairway Plus for metal banister mounting, notes door swing limitation

    We have the summer infant stairway plus that attached to our metal balusters. It is very sturdy. Only complaint is the door only opens one direction (which is also a plus for top of stairs). But ours opens in a way that blocks the walkway.

  • Direct recommendation for Summer Infant Stairway Plus for top of stairs with banisters

    I wood recommend the Summer Infant Stairway Plus. It's one of the few gates designed specifically for banister to banister mounting, and it works well for top of stairs. It comes with a kit for round or square banisters.

    r/BabyBumpsCanadaView thread →

  • General consensus that hardware mount is essential for top of stairs, with mentions of metal gates

    For the top of stairs, you absolutely need a hardware-mounted gate, no pressure mounts. I have a metal one that swings open, and it's been great. I can't remember the brand, but it's similar to the Summer Infant ones.

  • User shares installation challenge with the gate but affirms its sturdiness

    We got the Summer Infant gate for our stairs. It's a bit of a pain to install, especially if your banisters aren't perfectly square, but once it's up it's very solid. Just be patient and use the template.
