  "question": "Which baby gates can be mounted on baseboards or other unusual surfaces?",
  "answer": "Swabies Retractable Baby Gate: The lower bracket slides up and down to fit baseboards without damaging them. No-drill mounting is listed as suitable for tile, smooth wood, glass, metal and similar walls.\nKidCo K13: The maker says the supplied materials and fasteners let you install any child safety gate onto wood banisters, hollow drywall or wrought iron. For brick or concrete the maker advises consulting a hardware professional, baby shop or baby-proofing specialist rather than relying on the kit alone.",
