Ikea Baby Gate

We also purchased the Ikea Baby Safety Gates to close off our kitchen from the wandering BB. Sounds great in principle, but we removed it and kept it in our storeroom as it's just too inconvenient and narrows the kitchen entrance unnecessarily.

We simply use furniture such as the swing bed and dining table chairs to cordon off the living room along with the sofa.

Update - 18th May 2014: Turns out this is useful after all, as little BB has a tendency to wander into the kitchen and we started getting used to this by now!
