  "question": "Which baby gates can be installed without drilling holes, for use in a rental?",
  "answer": "KidCo K13: The kit is a universal installation kit that works with gates from any manufacturer. The kit is designed so you do not drill into the stair posts.\nEvenflo Position & Lock Adjustable Wood Baby Gate: The reviewer found the pressure-mount setup quick and easy, going up in a few minutes with no drilling needed. Consumer Reports places this gate among pressure-mounted safety gates and lists it as not best for stairs.\nEvenflo Position & Lock Tall and Wide Value Adjustable Baby Gate: The maker's listing says the gate is pressure-mounted and uses lift-and-lock installation; the rabbit-care blog instead says it requires hardware mounting, so the sources disagree.",
