⚠️ Risk
null The gaps between the bars of the safety gate and between the safety gate and the door frame/wall are too large: A crawling child could try to pass his legs or torso between the bars, leaving the head blocked, which could lead to respiratory difficulties or strangulation. The fixing mechanism of the gate breaks easily: if a child falls or bounces against it, the gate may get loose and the child may fall down stairs. In addition, there are gaps and an opening between the door and the horizontal member below it where a child's finger could be pinched.The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1930.
