Baby gates are a hassle, and 33% of homes have open staircases that can't even use a traditional gate.  Stairs are the No. 1 cause of injury for 1-year-old children in the United States, so keeping a baby safely off the stairs is crucially important.  4 million babies are born in the United States each year, this translates into approximately 4 million baby gates sold, and 1.3 million families each year can't currently find a gate that works for them.

Our newly crawling and now walking son, quickly became obsessed with climbing the steps over and over again. We were frustrated to find mostly overpriced, impractical, and difficult to use baby gates in the stores. We have an open staircase, and all baby gates required two walls to screw or wedge the gate into.  They were big and clunky to have at the base of the stairs, and some even needed to be set up and taken down every time an adult used the stairs....what a pain!

After hundreds of drawings, scrapped plans and prototypes, a working model was built. The good news is, you can avoid all that, and simply install a Stair Blocker in your home in a few minutes. The Stair Blocker is easy to install in a few minutes, and even easier to use than any other baby gate on the market today.  We have been using it since our son started crawling, and even have videos to show you how much better it is than a gate.

The Stair Blocker is value priced compared to other baby gates.

-It fits 99% of all staircases.  (36 to 43 inch wide staircases)

-It is easy to install in a few minutes, easy to use with the gravity caused closing action, and very affordably priced compared to other gates

-It works for homes with open staircases that can't use a typical baby gate (This is approximately 1.3 million annual units of unmet demand)

-It is a fun toy for older kids as a whiteboard for drawing, can be converted to a stand alone whiteboard after the stair barrier is no longer needed

-It is less cluncky and obtrusive than a typical baby gate

-it can also be used to keep small pets from climbing the stairs

--The Stair Blocker was launched for test market July 15, 2012.
