Each generation is different and we all require different forms of baby safety. Because of the raise in open plan living areas the need for an extra baby gate has resulted in an increase in the choice available on the market.

Open plan living is great when you've little children, whether they are crawling or sitting at the table coloring you can see them while you make their foods. The catch is that you will probably have a wide opening between two of the areas, and how do you keep the children out when the cooker is on?

There're some types of extra wide baby gates available on the market. The producers have realised that there's a need and many of them had designed extensions to their standard gates to make them fit these larger openings.

The drawback with these gates is that the extensions are unchangable and stay protruding into the opening even when the gate is not closed.

The other form of extra wide baby gate is the roll back baby gate. This is a bit like a roller blind but on its side. The advantage of this is that when the gate is not needed it could be rolled back and the opening back to its earlier size.

The last and most costly option is to have the bespoke feature. This will surely have the advantages of fitting perfectly and looking good, but will it be the best gate? If this is your first kid you might not yet know exactly how you'll use the gate. For example, will you keep the gate closed at all times or only when you cooking?

When you've children there is a lot of learning as you go, and spending a lot of money on a gate that might not truly be correct will be depressing.

Parents are always pleased to share their successes and their failures, before you begin spending have a chat to a few parents and find out what they found to be the best design and the pros and cons of what is available on the market.

At the end of the day any extra wide baby gate you purchase should work for both you and the baby. If it's awkward for you to use or bothersome, you'll start to not use it and then it will defeat the point in having it, also you will not only have failed to baby proof your home you'll also have wasted money.
