CR's Take
The Babelio Baby Gate for Doorways and Stairs is a pressure-mounted gate that features screws to reinforce the adhesive wall cups. It can be operated with one hand, and also has an auto-close feature, with a "hold" position for when you need to walk through with perhaps a load of laundry. The doorway panel has a threshold, which can be a tripping hazard—CR’s experts do not recommend installing this gate at the top of stairs.About Consumer Reports
