Reddit reviews Regalo 192-Inch Super Wide Adjustable Baby Gate and Play Yard, 4-In-1, Bonus Kit, Includes 4 Pack of Wall Mounts

Seconded. There are so many options out there for this that work better and are in the same basic price range. Here's one that's 192 inches and very configurable.

We bought this:

I can't recommend it enough. We have a step like that too leading to our family room. It creates a natural support for the giant baby gate. We still had to anchor it into a stud for our little Bam Bam, but it keeps him contained to one room.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VNKLIY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1525363286&sr=8-1&keywords=regalo+yard&dpPl=1&dpID=51BMb5OVKNL&ref=plSrch

We used this to make one room completely baby proof. It had a couch, a fenced off tv and toys. And I contained him in his “cage” anytime I needed to get something done. Or else nothing would get done... well worth the money! Plus he learned to play nicely independently:)

My sister uses a play yard to fence off her living room. It can be connected to fully enclose an area, or spread out to block a wide doorway. If you straighten it out fully it loses a lot of the stability, but if you zig-zag it, it should be fairly secure.

This super long gate also has pretty good reviews.

We have a gated living room area to prevent wandering and destruction outside of the designated zone. We attach the gate to our couches that are on either side of the living room so we all basically sit inside of it. It's not pretty, but we can go to the bathroom and cook dinner without much worry. These gates are modular so you can move them around as needed.

How about getting something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_V0.DDbATP0K44

But only use 1 fixed panel and the door panel...

I have this Regalo gate wrapped around the front of my brick fireplace. Total length of 192 inches, but panels can be removed.

I'm sure there are cheaper options out there, though ...

Get the play yard version of that brand. I have 2 of them and love em!

I've split mine up, had them both together, etc. Its so versatile, and j have the same baseboards too. 0 issues

They have those ones that click together to make a sort of custom shaped/sized playpen or gate. You could get three pieces so it goes along the side of the railing and into the door of that room.

I’ll try to get a pic of what I’m talking about cuz i no explain gud 😞

like this

or this

Strict landlord criteria! The shelters are full of adult little dogs though so you shouldn’t have a problem.

A yard isn’t really necessary. Plenty of people have dogs in apartments with no outdoor space at all. However, if you supervise you could probably try something cheap like a roll of plastic mesh and some posts from the garden section at the hardware store.

Or you could cordon off an area with a freestanding gate like this.

This is a thing.

I did this all the time with my son post-partum. Cycling was my jam starting 4 weeks after delivery because I could get in a good workout while he chilled in his rocker or even did tummy time.

That said...word of advice: Once he starts moving, you'll realize your trainer is infinitely more dangerous, and your kid will be attracted to it. I used an exersaucer during my workouts once he started standing and moving around on furniture, but now he's running around so we just bought this baby gate for our home gym to separate him from us while we workout. That gate can also be used as a play yard! Your workout setting may change as he grows, but it's totally possible to keep it up!

Our 2 year old son sleeps on a mattress on the floor with a space heater in his room and I was also super worried about it (and truthfully still slightly am, but can't figure out any other solution), but so far it hasn't been a major issue. He has been on a floor mattress since he was ~6 months old, but only had the space heater in his room since we moved 6 months ago (so space heater situation started when he was around 19 months old). Obviously, your situation could be different, but I find that when he's in his room alone and not in his bed, he's more interested in playing with his toys/stuffed animals than he is with messing with the space heater. He does switch it on/ off and change the heating setting sometimes during the day so I always check it before saying goodnight, but once we say goodnight I have never seen him mess with it (we have a video monitor). We also specifically chose a space heater that doesn't get hot to the touch when on and automatically shuts off if it gets knocked over. When he was younger we had [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VNKLIY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) gate up in his room to separate the kid-proof part from the non kid-proof part. We took it down before he was able to climb over it so can't say whether it will work for you, but we found it to be sturdy (it connects to the walls so wouldn't fall over) and generally kid-proof.

>See I don’t feel like I can leave my daughter to play alone. Every time I do she ends up doing something destructive or something she shouldn’t. [...] So my entire day consists of me on the sofa playing with her or just making sure she doesn’t wreck the house.


Dude. You aren't a SAHD, you're a prisoner. I was a SAHM to three toddlers. You can't do that for 12-hours a day. Shit. You need to toddler proof the hell out of your house or make a small area you can gate off that you can leave her with toys and books for a bit at a time.


Look at the customer images on this Amazon product page for examples of what I mean.

It was right between the kitchen and living area it was awesome.

Get a gate.

Like that. My kid is 3 now and we only use 2 smaller dog gates to keep him locked away from the stairs, but when he was 1, we used that gate to completely shut down the living room. it works.

Yep! These ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VNKLIY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1503162520&sr=8-6&keywords=baby+gates

I got this giant metal baby cage. It is a pretty large space, and has the freedom the be uncoupled to wall off a room that is baby proofed if I need to. I love that thing. My kid is 14 months (almost) and it still works great if I need to put him down for a while without him getting into crap. I didn't get it till he was 7 months old but have gotten a ton of use out of it.

*edit that is the Canadian Amazon link as I am Canadian. No idea where you are at :D

You can find baby gates that are long and bend at the joints. Perhaps one of these mounted to the walls next to the cabinets?
EDIT: Here is a cheaper/longer one.

This was may solution. It worked for 3 kids.

We put it over a foam mat and our son was happy. Eventually set him to free range once he really got moving.

Good luck.

The foam mat now is being used for the slide we opted to keep inside for the occasional heart attack er. i mean fun...

They wrap around the stairs for added protection and you can screw into the drywall instead to the railing.

You can mount 1 end to the wall on the right of the stairs, and 1 to the wall on the left of the stairs...

I have 3 of these things... You can take out panels and make it shorter... you'll basically have a little box at the foot of the stairs with a door.

Fence it off. We used one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Regalo-192-Inch-Super-Adjustable-Mounts/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1543605757&sr=8-4&keywords=play+yard+gate

It sounds like you're probably looking for something like this:
https://www.amazon.ca/Regalo-192-Inch-Super-Wide-White/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1540578509&sr=8-4&keywords=Play+yard

I have this particular one but not attached to any walls. Unfortunately i think this is a version that would need to be attached with screws but there may be other versions that can pressure mount.

I used this one in an octagon shape. It's metal bars and each hinge locks into place. Kids can't open the gate. I used it when my kid was younger and will be using it again with second.

If you bought 2 sets you'd probably have enough or close to enough to get the size/shape you want.

This would be super child proof because it attaches to the walls, it's 16 feet total in 8 2-foot sections with a gate. You could get an additional 50% more space inside of it if the desk were in a corner.

Fellow one-year-old-haver here who has just dealt with baby-gating an odd shaped stairway - adapting something off the shelf is my way to go wherever possible. I'd just go with a metal baby gate with extra panels:

Like this

There may be some rated for outdoor use, but I understand the normal ones last at least a year or two outside anyways.

Replace it with a bar style. The ones that have holes end up being like a ladder.

This is the one I have 😁👌🏼
We have it drilled on either side of our living room and it stretches across nicely to keep the kids out of the kitchen. We bought two smaller Regalo brand gates for our doorways exiting the living room

This is something similar maybe searching these will help you find what you want.

Amazon sells one baby gate at/over that length (listed at 192 inches). It may work for you, depending on how exuberant your dogs are. It's kinda pricey, but any semi-respectable gate system is going to be that way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VNKLIY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1479656316&sr=8-3&keywords=extra+wide+baby+gate&pi=SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=51rdOf%2BkUJL&ref=plSrch
The only other thing I can think of is to buy a baluster/rail/spindle rig like what you would have on a set of steps. But that's going to be even more expensive and won't have an easy way to get through. And you would have to assemble it from scratch.

We chose not to crate train. There were some times I regretted it for 20 minutes, but I knew I would face other issues with crate trianing so it was a wash... but for our pup overall it worked out. So far.

​

​

We went with this baby gate: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VNKLIY/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

We used it to block off the kitchen at first, and at night we moved it to the bedroom and folded it down to fit only around his bed. It was a pain moving it every night.. but at some point we have to enforce a budget!

​

Then we stopped using it to block off the kitchen. Somewhere around 12 weeks.

​

About 13/14 weeks we opened up the baby gate around his bed, and now he has access to about a 1/5th of our bedroom.

​

We both work from home and were able to ALWAYS have eyes on him. So very few potty mistakes, and hes been good for the past month (except 2 accidents - 1 a random poop in the house when I proabbly brought him in to early from our morning potty break, and another "I'm so happy" small pee puddle. We haven't left him alone yet and will be working on that next.

​

Eventually, I will train him to be fine in a crate for traveling and his safety.

​

Lots of pros and cons to crate training or not.

​

Thunderstorm! Need to go positive reinforcement training! See ya!

I just bought this one from Amazon but I haven't used it yet. It has really good reviews so I'm hoping it'll be great!

Good luck. She will still push the buttons, or pull the cords, or spill stuff on it. Only thing that worked for me was https://smile.amazon.com/Regalo-192-Inch-Super-Adjustable-Mounts/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=baby+fence&qid=1554683862&s=gateway&sr=8-3 and sectioning off part of the room.

Oh man, the playpen climbing, haha. Have you looked into the one Regalo makes for humans? It's a little pricey, but it bought us some more time since there are no horizontal bars.

Your welcome.

Depending on your layout of the apartment, you’ll want either baby gates or something like this or this. There are a ton of different types so finding out that works in your space might involve some searching. A pack n play is pretty small for playing. Once they start crawling they want to move around.

It all depends on your dog. It may work, it may not, I can lay a small fence resting on the bottom steps of a stairwell and my dog won't come up

We actually bought this one to go around our brick fireplace. It’s adjustable and huge and works great to block space.

We have two of these Regalo 192-Inch Baby Gates that are really flexible so you could wrap them around the sides of your stairs

Is this for the bottom of the stairs? You can DIY one with pvc pipes and fabric that will fit between the railings, seen here. There are also a super wide play yard by Regalo that you can set up in whatever configuration you want, and screw each end into the wall.

Baby prison. I got basically an indoor fence, set it up around get play rug. Best $90 spent. She practices pulling up and cruising on the bars, I get to do chores without worrying about her crawling around and putting things in her mouth.
