  "question": "Which baby gates are suitable for use at the top of a staircase?",
  "answer": "Qdos Extending SafeGate: It is an extending baby gate designed for use at the top of stairs with no bottom bar to trip over, and it can be used anywhere in the house including where an angled mount is needed. A user highlights that gates with a bar along the bottom are a potential tripping hazard, and that finding one without that bar was difficult and important to them. Qdos Crystal Baby Gate: It can be installed inside an opening or door frame, flush-mounted outside an opening, or mounted at an angle.",
