Munchkin Safety Gates Contest and The Deco Gate + $50 AMEX GC Giveaway

Sometimes when I visit a friend who has an infant and/or toddler and I see that there are no gates at the top and/or bottom of the stairs, I cringe. Of course in such a case I mention how I have gates on the top and bottom of our stairs as well as at the entryway of any room that needs one and how it's better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to our kids.

Munchkin, a company that is known for a variety of baby products, knows how important child safety is, as is evident in their line of Safety Gates.


Years of safety research and engineering have gone into the development of Munchkin safety gates. The smallest details on every gate have been designed to maximize safety. Each gate has at least two locking mechanisms to ensure a child cannot open it. Vertical slat or dowel design eliminates potential footholds for a child to climb over. Pressure mount gates employ a sturdy U-shaped powerframe made of steel to generate a strong four-point seal in openings.
  • Munchkin safety gates are built to the highest quality standards and rigorously tested to meet or exceed both U.S. and European safety standards
  • Munchkin infant safety gates are aesthetically pleasing and come in a wide range of measurements, price points, styles and mounting types.
  • For more information please visit www.infantgates.com


Right now, through May 15, Munchkin has a great Facebook contest to promote their safety gates, Protect Your Baby's Every Move, which you could enter to win some great prizes!

Munchkin knows the importance of keeping your child safe. That’s why we want to protect your baby by giving away our new safety gates every week! Share a cute video or photo of your baby moving, dancing or taking first steps. We'll choose the best every Friday.

Munchkin will select a weekly Facebook winner (from Feb. 15 – May 15) to win a safety gate and $50 gift card to redo the nursery. One grand-prize winner will also receive a nursery set from Munchkin (valued at $530) and a $250 American Express gift card to help with the design. A second winner will receive a $250 American Express gift card to help decorate a child’s room.
So go ahead and upload a funny picture or video of your baby dancing, walking, or moving, and you could end up a winner!

Shop: To purchase a Munchkin Safety Gate, click here to find a retailer near you.

Win: One lucky winner will receive The Deco Munchkin Safety Gate and a $50 American Express Gift Card.
