While it's a smart thing to put a barrier up to protect your kids, you don't want to be penned in as well. Look at user reports to see how safe it is for your kid to operate a fence, not just you, but also your infant. Some kiddies don't take long to pick up on how to escape, and an infant on the loose in the trouble zone is the last thing you need. Some gates have a one-handed device that should be easy to handle for you, but not for your two-year-old. Through using a foot pedal to unlock them, some take a hands-free solution. Some swing open while others slip. When you need it, there are also gates with a stay-open functionality. Also, think how safely they shut down. To let you know they're properly closed, there are gates with indicators, while others have an auto-close button. When you have gone through, others must be manually closed.
