Glow in the Dark Tape for Stairs and Baby Gates

Glow in the Dark Tape Product Features: SIZE:  Width: 1cm  | Length: 1 meter. Main Function: The neon glow feature. gives you a quick heads up to step over the horizontal bar, found at the bottom of pressure mounted baby gates. The tape can also be used for stairs and other areas in the house that pose a tripping hazard. Disclaimer: For indoor use only. Use in an area that gets at least some light during the day for the ultimate glow performance. Why the fuss? As a baby proofing specialist, one of my biggest challenges has been the horizontal bar found at the bottom of pressure mounted gates that can be a tripping hazard. Pressure mounted gates these days are popular as they are secure, well-manufactured and there is really no need for drilling. The gates come with 4 x mounting cups and strong double-sided tape. These cups go between the wall and the tension knobs – refer to image below: Once the gate is up and the tension knobs have been tightened into the cups; the cups with double-sided tape, keep the gate secure and in place. Installation Tip:  Be sure to leave the double sided tape to set for at least 24 hours before tugging and putting unnecessary pressure on the gate. What about using a ramp? Unfortunately, there aren’t any ramps available in SA to test out, although I have seen these overseas. With that said, I don’t think they would fit on most stairs and I also don’t think by judging the design, they would even reduce the risk. The Solution: Following my research, I decided to import this glow tape. I think, albeit not the perfect solution, it’s a step closer to being safer and doesn’t break the bank.
