Best Baby Gate: Munchkin Loft Gate

When baby reaches the mobile stage, gates are critical at keeping them contained and out of harm’s way. But finding one that doesn’t make your home feel like a prison isn’t always easy—which is why the Munchkin Loft earns top marks in both design and function.

What We Love

• The Loft gate opens in either direction and can be used in stairways, doorways and hallways, making it work nearly anywhere in your home
• Uneven walls or molding in your way? The custom tuning system accounts for any uneven surfaces for a snug fit
• The simple, sleek design and aluminum finish will fit in with nearly any home decor (and for when you really don’t want to see it, just push the release tabs and store it away)

Summary

A baby gate is a critical tool in your babyproofing arsenal. The Loft makes it easy for you to use and hard for baby to escape.
