Ever since Hariz started to learn to crawl, we knew that having a house with staircases would be one of the safety issue. At first, I was a bit reluctant to buy one of those safety gate because it's an eye sore! But putting away aesthetics, Hariz safety is number 1.
So I went looking for this safety gate at Toys R' Us. They had a few models to choose from with the price ranging from RM179 - RM400++. I'm not looking for something fancy. Good enough to stop Hariz from climbing up the stairs.
Luckily Toys R' Us was having a promotions for it's members. So I bought this safety gate from Little Bean for RM179.90.
My mistake when purchasing this gate was I didn't measure it first before went looking for it. Well actually it was unintentional buys.
Well anyway, when I got home to try in on, like I reckon, the gate didn't fit. My staircase a little too wide and the gate is short. I thought of add few extensions but Wan said its really a waste and it will cost more.Luckily Toys R' Us has a full refund policy within a certain day so I returned the gate and got my money back :)
With the stairs being no-gate, we were thinking of getting a custom made gate. I think it'll cost around RM100++ per gate with iron as material and we need 3 of it. But Wan got a much better plans. So I thought.
Finally after 2 days bertukang, we got our own custom made safety gate that we won't get anywhere else..
Heheh.. it's not as sleek as made my professionals but it is safe :)
(Master card moment) : Price for 3 safety gates = RM150++
Price for our baby's safety = Priceless
Credit to Wan !!! =)
