The problem began with the entrance to the play room. It is an extra large opening that measures 70 inches wide. Now I am not a rich person and I hate wasting money, but it was inevitable that I had to buy something to keep the baby in that room. So my shopping started at 9am.
First stop, Magic Mart, a local retailer with a mid size selection of baby products. I was excited when I realized that the first gate I saw was 72 inches wide, but alas nothing could be this simple for me. After inspecting it closer I realized that the gate had this diamond shaped design. My first thought was he is going to stick his toes in there and climb right over it. Then I noticed that the top of the gate had these little x designs on it that were not covered up. I could see my baby poking his eye out on one of those.
You would think they would make safe products for children. But anyways on to the next store, Wal-Mart. Now we all know that Wal-Mart has everything anybody could possibly need all in one store. But remember, nothing is ever simple for me.
I was very disappointed with Wal-Mart's selection and prices on baby gates. They only had five to choose from and three of those were very flimsy and cheap looking. I don't think they would have kept my baby confined for more than five minutes. So now I was off to Toy's R Us which I was not happy about. I had always thought that the store had high prices and only toys, boy was I wrong!
Upon entering Toy's R Us I saw the exact gate that I needed for only $43! It was very sturdy and secure. It is made by Even Flo and extends to 72 inches. I will definitely be shopping at Toy's R Us again. I would highly recommend this gate for anybody with an odd shaped doorway. It is also a great value for the quality.
