What the MCA seal means: Independent review of quality, safety, design, and family value—a quick way for parents to spot trusted pick
Creator’s Perspective: How the Boundless B17 Was Born
“I’m one of the co-founders of Babelio—a brand built on the values I hold as both a designer and a father.” That dual lens shaped the B17 from day one.
The spark
“Me, holding my child in one hand and a diaper bag in the other, wrestling a gate that felt like an obstacle—not a solution.”
From that moment came a question: What would a baby gate look like if the designer cared equally about safety and flow? The answer became the B17—a gate that eliminates tripping hazards, looks clean and modern, installs easily, and stands up to toddlers and large dogs. Peace of mind, in hardware form.
Research & development
We listened to parents, grandparents, and pet owners, then partnered with child-safety experts and mechanical engineers. The result:
-
No bottom bar → no trip risk, stroller-friendly, robot-vac friendly.
-
Ultra-stable frame → resists heavy bumps (large pets included).
-
Smooth one-hand open + auto-close → intuitive in busy moments.
-
90° stay-open → full access when you’re carrying laundry or groceries.
Every element was trialed in real homes under real stress.
What it solves for families
Traditional gates interrupt movement. The B17 removes friction with a bar-free design and true one-hand operation, helping families move freely and safely through doorways and corridors. We’re actively exploring a hands-free upgrade, because every extra hand matters.
What sets B17 apart
-
Truly bar-free passage (no bottom rail).
-
Exceptional stability—tested to 210 N impact resistance.
-
Dual-locking mechanism for smarter childproofing.
-
Minimalist aesthetic that blends with modern interiors.
Pull quote: “Strong, intuitive, and always there when you need it.”
Real-world feedback
One family bought five B17 gates over two years—not for replacements, but to expand usage across the home. The bar-free design helped grandparents avoid trips and let Roombas pass. They even mounted one slightly higher to let the robot glide under—with the gate still closed. They praised the solid build (no bending despite daily kid hanging) and noted guests needed a moment to learn the double lock—feedback now informing our next-gen latch ergonomics.
Safety, standards & materials
We approach safety like a father would—meticulously and with zero shortcuts. B17 uses non-toxic materials, is tested to relevant ASTM and EN standards, and is inspected by professionals and real parents in real homes—including multi-pet households.
A small installation fix with big impact
Early users struggled to hold the gate at the right height while marking and drilling. We built a positioning block that:
-
Supports the gate at the correct height during install (reduces effort).
-
Ensures consistent alignment on both sides (fewer mistakes, better fit).
Result: smoother, safer, more precise setup.
