I would like to educate you concerning pressure gates, especially on the stairs, the top might I add! Like the name says, pressure gates rely on "tension"! But are you aware of what that means in reference for use at the of the stairs? The gate is held in place by wedging it into the walls. Many homes do not have both walls. Precious Baby Protectors would have to build the wall up or design the gate to accommodate the situation. You are on your own with the gate you decided to buy..
As time goes on the gate is pressing into your drywall and loosening up. When the gate is removed, your wall or walls will be severely damaged. Other reasons this type of gate becomes loose is kids pulling on it, humidity, and maybe the side wall was never a truly flat surface.
Many of these big box store gates have a bottom rail which can easily cause falling or falling down the stairs, gosh isn't that what we were trying to avoid? Some have horizontal bars that kids can climb, thus causing even more tripping or falling down the stairs. Are you getting the picture yet?
These gates may be suitable for a small dog, or when traveling.
