Need gate to go around treadmill

[FitMom]

After 5 years of begging for a treadmill, dh finally got me one for our anniversary. I need help keeping my 15 month old away from the treadmill while I'm using it. I remember flipping through a catalog and seeing a gate that went around the treadmill in the picture. Of course, now I can't find it and I've looked everywhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Where can I find this gate? Also, if you have any other suggestions on how to keep a baby away from the treadmill while it's in use, I'd be glad to hear them.

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know anything about a gate but my son loved the johnny jumper thing that hooks to the doorframe and allows them to jump up and down with a springing sort of action. That's how my son stayed occupied while I was on the treadmill. He would laugh on and on and I could watch him from the treadmill and not feel guilty because he was having fun. If they were only that easy to entertain as they get older!
I miss that age.

I'm pretty sure I know what you are talking about. I saw them at Babies R Us when I was looking for a gate for my stairs. (My little one is 11 months old and very mobile.) They used it as a playing area for the children, but I'm sure it can be positioned around a treadmill to keep the little one out. If I'm not mistaken, I think Babies R Us had a couple of different kinds. They are included in the baby gates area. Maybe www.babiesrus.com will have them online. Good luck in your search.

P.S. Sorry I don't have any brand name to give you.

Hi, I would check out www.onestepahead.com They seem to have some neat stuff, and I think I saw a gate that might work for you. Here is the info about the gate, I copied this from the website:

The only build-your-own gate system. Any size, any shape, anywhere! Linear gates just don't measure up to today's open living areas. The solution: our flexible gating system, which lets you build child-safe areas to any configuration. Barricade an open staircase, shut off the kitchen from the greatroom, set your computer out-of-bounds. The basic 72"L x 28"H gate consists of three 24" segments that adjust in 10-degree increments as needed. With a walk-thru gate you position where you like. Additional 24" segments available, order as many as you need. Made of strong, tubular steel with a non-toxic coating. Gift wrap not available.

I don't have kids, but have dogs. We use what is called an x-pen and it can go around anything to keep dogs in or out. It could also work for your treadmill. They come in different heights 24", 36" and 48". I paid about $70 for my 48" one it is 4 ft by 4 ft. Any online petstore will carry them.
