It is pretty heavy, but toddler could probably push or pull it over. Lovely screen and heavier than most I have seen.

the one Igot is good for that do no beleve that she could it would take a lot to push over and that is why I got mine but for the grand kids we have

Probably any fire screen could be pushed over, but this one is sturdier than many that I have seen.

Definitely my two year old grandson loves to get behind it and push it over.

She can push it over, but it would take some effort. Our toddler knocked ours over once but has steered clear of it since. In my opinion, the risk of injury if it falls over outweighs risks associated with touching a hot fireplace.

It seems that the designer of the bed doesn't think a guard rail is needed -- the steel frame of the springs should give it enough structural rigidity. However, I wouldn't like that frame exposed, and so when that time comes (my granddaughter is only 10 mos old right now), I plan to just fashion a piece of wood, shaped with a router to a nice curve and stained, to serve to cover the exposed spring frame so it looks like it's a proper piece of the bed.

We currently have one and are ordering 2 more. I use it at the bottom of the stairs and at a room door at the top when I'm upstairs. We lock the bar pretty tightly and have had no problems so far. Our little one is 11 months old and into everything, constantly pulling herself up and standing against the gate. I wouldn't necessarily let her play with it at the top of the stairs, just because I'd have nightmares about her falling through it or over it as she gets taller. However, it's kept her from climbing the stairs at the bottom, which it where we place our current one every evening when we're downstairs. Again though, she's small, almost 1 years old, and we keep it as tight was we can make it. Consider how much pressure your little one would put on it before you use it at the top, but not a good idea unless you're there with them. One thing to consider, I've tripped over it, and so has my husband, when not paying attention, and it didn't fall down, we did so for all the other areas, it's a pretty good bet.

You'll have one inch at the top and one inch at the bottom that won't be covered with the 32" H one but that's not a disaster except it will allow some of your heat to still go up the chimney and in the case of a downdraft, if you don't have the bottom covered, some ashes could be blown onto your hearth. I had an arched opening which is why I couldn't invest in glass doors. They are really the nicest and safest solution but the fireplace blocker is a good alternative for the price.

Yes. In fact, my daughter just moved to a 2nd floor apartment that has a balcony with railing. I was happy she used it to get privacy from below and bldg across courtyard. Good luck!

There is nothing over the front of the leapPad to protect the screen or buttons but there is a lip that overlays the front of the unit. My 2 yr old has dropped it several times and so far so good. If something hit the screen specifically I assume we will be out of luck. I think it's better than nothing. You have to take it off to get to batteries so that might be a plus if your child likes to take them out

I don't think a toddler could push it around, it is pretty heavy, but it is unfinished on the backside so it really needs to be against a wall (like a dresser). Hope this helps!

There probably isn't any baby gate that is pressure mounted that will withstand a child's pushing at it with their legs. Your only alternative is to screw mount the gate.

I find if you use the heavy screens the door is fine. If you want you can get the metal frame kit for the screens (the kit to make your own screen) and modify that so that is spans the width is the screen. A wood bar would be fine too if it does not interfere with the operation if the door.

Pulled themselves to a standing position, but not allowed to attempt climbing in. We keep our bedroom door shut so that he does not go into our room. It has a very nicely designed floor base, but, depending on the toddler's height and weight, I would still be extremely cautious.

I dont think it will be a very good idea because of the heat from the fireplace. You can buy the tilt one ( it is mounted closer to the wall than this model). Hope this helps. After install this model, the screen is about 7 inches from the wall.

I would be afraid that a toddler would be able to pull this over if climbed on. While it is steady enough to hold cast iron cookware, it would tend to fall over if climbed on.

I have a 14 month old and while mine is against a wall, I'm pretty sure if it wasn't he could push it around IF it is on a smooth, uncarpeted surface. I think if it was on carpet you would probably be OK.

You probably could. Ours is in a door frame but it has the same fittings as a child stair gate so should be ok.

O no!!! It's about as sturdy as a cardboard box! It's very nice, looks exactly like picture and very safe! It's flexible so I don't think it could hurt ur toddler!

it depends on how old and how big and how clever the toddler is and don't ever leave anything sharp around that the toddler could poke thru the netting. in other words, probably not safe to keep a toddler from falling thru. it would probably give you a few extra seconds to grab the toddler if you were right there with them. i'm a grandmother of 5 and toddlers are mighty fast and absolutely fearless.

There is a small gap from bottom of gate to floor but not enough for a child to go under but can stick arms under. We had no issues. We mounted our gate on the inner side of our stairs/ banister b/c there is some push to the gate. It worked Great and we Love our gate!! We also made home made mounts for out banisters, by personal choice is all. Hope that gives you an idea......
