The wall-mounted BabyDan OLAF Wide Safety Gate is an excellent choice as your little one starts to crawl and explore. Its flexibility allows you to customise it to fit wide or irregular staircases, doorways, or use it as a room divider. You can easily add small and large sections separately to expand the gate as needed. With its one-handed operation, you can open the gate in either direction, making it convenient to pass through while carrying your child.For safety when using the gate as a fire surround, ensure it is placed at least 75 cm (29.6 inches) away from any source of heat or fire and a minimum of 90 cm (35.5 inches) from an open fire.
