"A childproofed home can leave parents feeling like they're navigating an obstacle course rather than their own living space, which is why Munchkin continues to develop state-of-the-art safety products to make family spaces more functional, as well as comfortable," said Munchkin CEO Steven B. Dunn. "The Safe Step Gate features a patent-pending TripGuard floor bar, which is designed to walk ON instead of over, and a double-locking system that can be opened and shut with a simple push—offering parents a safety gate they can pass through with ease."

The Safe Step Gate provides parents both advanced safety technology and trouble-free gate operation with a unique handle that makes the gate easy for an adult to use, but difficult for a child. It also includes an optional third lock at the base for added safety measures, and is ideal for use throughout the entire home, including the top or bottom of stairs and between rooms.

Munchkin's new Safe Step™ Gate with TripGuard™ and other safety accessories are now available at retailers nationwide. For more information or for a list of retailers near you, please visit www.Munchkin.com.
