It is possible to buy baby safety gate extensions, but buying the gate that fits would be the first choice of many parents. This is why Summer Infant, a leader in child safety devices and electronics, released this more than convenient product, the Parents’ Super-Wide Custom-Fit Gate by Summer Infant, or extra wide baby gate.
