Baby Dan Premier True Pressure review
Product alert
The sample of this stair gate we tested failed a key safety test that checks whether a gate is strong enough to withstand repeated pushing and pulling over an extended period of time.
It became dislodged and could mean a child’s safety is at risk.
It’s why we’ve made this stair gate a 0% Don’t Buy.
BabyDan told us:
‘At BabyDan we take feedback about our safety products seriously, as safety of children is paramount to us. We manufacture to the highest possible standards. All our safety gates comply to the relevant safety standards (in this case EN1930:2011).
‘The safety gates mentioned in your publication have been tested recently by accredited labs numerous times without any remarks.’

The Baby Dan Premier True Pressure stair gate fits, as its name suggests, using pressure, meaning there should be no marks left on your walls if you're living in rental accommodation. However, we've given this stair gate a Don't Buy warning after the sample we tested failed a test in the EU safety standard. Read the full safety alert with this review for more information.
