If you have a toddler in your home chances are pretty high that you already have a baby gate or two in your house. Either that or you are considering getting one because there are just some places you don’t want either your baby (or dog) going. North States has staked a claim as one of the leaders in the safety gate industry and for good reason. With this version, a no-frills, low cost gate, they have created a very lightweight barrier that surprised testers with its strength and durability. This gate fits nicely in doorways that are 26″-42″ wide. Testers found that it gave a snug fit no matter where your doorway falls between those dimensions. The rubber pieces that go up against your doorway or wall, won’t leave any marks on the wall, or take off pieces of paint. For under $30 this was seen by testers as a solid value.
