The Lindam stair gate currently costs about £25 and is available in many retail outlets countrywide - we got ours at 'Argos'. It's a safety gate to prevent babies and toddlers getting into potential danger areas in the home where babies and toddlers should not be - such as onto the stairs, into the kitchen, etc. The gate is basically an approximately adult hip-high (ie. 76cm high) metal barrier with a two-way swinging gate fixed in it, that's designed to only be easily openable by an adult: to open the gate you have to depress a button on the underside of the handle part of it.
