Soft Canvas Stair Blockers

The 'Stair Barrier' Baby Gate Keeps Children and Dogs Away from Stairs

— May 2, 2016 — Art & Design
Traditional baby gates are often crafted from hard plastic and are cumbersome to use, so the 'Stair Barrier' is designed as a softer alternative. Installed rather easily, the 'Stair Barrier' rolls into the storage container when not in use to instantly be kept out of sight until needed.

When used, the 'Stair Barrier' unrolls to reveal a tough yet soft canvas sheet that affixes onto the stair bannister. This helps to keep children and dogs from going upstairs or from being on the stairs at all.

The 'Stair Barrier' baby gate is crafted in the USA and is easy to use by just about anyone. When the time comes to remove, the 'Stair Barrier' will leave behind minimal wall markings as it doesn't require extensive drilling to install.
Trend Themes
1. Soft Baby Gates - Disrupt the baby gate industry by offering softer, more comfortable alternatives to hard plastic gates.
2. Canvas Safety Barriers - Create canvas safety barriers to be used in various industries, such as construction or sports, that provide both safety and a softer surface.
3. Roll-up Safety Solutions - Offer roll-up safety solutions for different applications and settings, providing an easy, space-saving way to implement safety measures.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Products - Soft baby gates like the 'Stair Barrier' can revolutionize the baby product industry by offering a more convenient and comfortable safety solution.
2. Home Safety - Develop soft safety barriers that can be used in various parts of the house to make the home a safer place without compromising on design and comfort.
3. Pet Products - Create soft safety barriers specifically designed for pets, providing an alternative to hard plastic or metal gates that can be both safe and comfortable for animals.
