Toddlers love to poke their fingers into outlets, but with this outlet cover set they can’t get in. It’s an inexpensive and effective way to childproof the house.
In our safety gate tests, this model was one of the easiest to use with a wide opening to walk through and one-handed latches that are more difficult for toddlers to open. It is also relatively quick and easy to set up and hard-mount.
Safety
As your child begins rolling, crawling, and walking around the house, you’ll want to prevent them from getting into areas that might be hazardous. Baby gates, also known as baby fences, are a great way to keep your curious little one safe without limiting their movement too much.
During our testing, we found that the Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay was sturdy and easy to use for everyday activities. This play yard is JPMA certified and safe for toddlers ages 6-24 months, and it includes eight pre-connected panels that connect to create a spacious enclosure.
This gate, like the other top-rated ones we tested, has a wide opening to walk through and one-handed latches that are easy for adults but harder for kids to open. It also stays firmly in place and is fairly stable, although it doesn’t have as many mounting points as the Regalo Easy Step Walk Thru Gate and Summer Deluxe Stairway Wood Gate.
Convenience
The Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay has a sturdy construction that can withstand rambunctious toddlers. The six-panel yard encloses 18.5 square feet and can be set up indoors or outdoors. It also comes with a two-panel extension kit for larger spaces. However, it’s not as stable when fully extended across an open space compared to some of the other gates in this review.
It’s relatively easy to install a North States baby gate and the installation instructions are clear. Most models are pressure-mounted, making them relatively quick to set up and use. However, wider gates or those at the top of stairs require hard mounting with hardware that can be more difficult for adults to install.
Baby gates prevent children from accessing areas of the house that are dangerous, such as staircases or rooms with fragile items. This toddler gate can be opened or closed with one hand, and it has a wide opening that is easier to walk through than many other gates.
Versatility
Keep your kids safe and sound at home or visiting grandma with this versatile baby gate. This gate is designed to securely block doorways, hallways, and stairways. It features a soft neutral color that blends with most home decor and is easy to install. It comes pre-assembled and fits openings 26 to 42 inches wide. It uses a convenient pressure mount system and requires no tools for installation. It swings open both ways and has a triple locking system for added security.
The North States Superyard Colorplay is a versatile play yard gate that can be used as a portable playpen, a baby gate, or a safety barrier. It can be easily expanded with the addition of two-panel extensions. The extension panels fit together with the Superyard panel like a puzzle and have a pin/plunger design to ensure secure positioning.
This gate is made of sturdy plastic and is kid-tough. However, several parents complain that the sidewalls are excessively flexible and bend when kids try to climb them.
Value
This gate has a unique design that makes it easy to open and close. It features a childproof double-locking system and a gravity-fed hinge door that swings open both ways. It also has a hold-open feature and a convenient walk-through door panel that is built with an auto-close function.
The gate is made of sturdy materials that are designed to withstand different weather conditions. It is a great option for indoor and outdoor play, and can even be used as a waiting room. It can be easily set up in a home, office, or park.
Putting up the Toddleroo playpen is an easy and hassle-free process. The lightweight panels connect easily without the need for tools or complicated instructions. Taking it down is just as easy, and can be completed in just a few minutes. It is portable and includes packing tape for convenient storage. It is also convenient to take it with you on trips or when changing rooms.
