A baby gate or child safety gate is a protective barrier designed to prevent young children (aged 6-24 months) from accessing areas of a home where they might be unsafe, such as stairways and kitchens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = SafetyED )〕 Baby gates are typically constructed of metal, plastic and/or wood, and can be expanded to fit in a range of doorway widths. They may be designed for use indoors or out, and may be either hardware or pressure-mounted. Pressure-mounted gates are typically held in place by friction with the walls on either side, while hardware-mounted gates are screwed into the wall studs and swing fully open like a door.〔http://www.itsbaby.com/buying-guides-13-best-baby-gates/〕 There are hardware-mounted gates that can be customized to fit wide and irregularly-shaped openings, as well as mesh retractable gates that roll out of the way. Baby gates are also frequently used to contain small pets, especially ones that are not housebroken. A pet gate may not meet the voluntary standard for baby gates. Baby gates should be removed once a child is capable of opening or climbing over the gate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.astm.org/search/site-search.html?query=F1004 )〕 ==See also== *Childproofing *Child care *Playwork *Babysitting *Child development 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baby gate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
