Cardinal Gates Kids Edge Large Fireplace Pad Kit, Brown

Exactly what I was looking for- ease of mind protecting my toddler from hitting her head.

The rubber is nice and easy to cut to get it right. After cutting mine to fit, I flipped the pieces upside down, and without uncovering the factory adhesive, I taped the pieces together from the back side, to make one solid edge cover. It fits good, it looks good, and its heavy enough to stay put without using the adhesive to hold it in place.

Works great easy installation

PERFECT!! I read so many reviews for different protection options for fieplaces.. This stays put, looks nice. We chose brown and it blends nicely with my Grandfathers brick fireplace. Now he can stop worrying himself to pieces and enjoy our company!

Unfortunately this did not work for our stone hearth as it’s not a flat surface. Our 10 month old was able to rip it off right away.

We love it, fits perfectly and easy to cut (used a bread knife). We only use our gate when s fire is going.

Just what we needed to protect from the rough edges of our fireplace

As with most everyone else, I purchased this product to protect my toddler from cracking his head on our hearth. There were several other options available, but I ultimately chose this one for a few important reasons. - the foam is 3/4 thick, where as every other one is only 1/2 thick. - the center pieces are preformed into right angles, others are flat foam and you have to fold it over and hope the adhesive holds. The product came in today. Packaging was good and install was simple and easy. Adhesive was acceptable as this seems to be a very contended point, but our brick is painted which gives it an ideal surface to bond to. Your mileage will vary. The only issue I see is that the foam is actually a bit firmer than what Id think is ideal. I was expecting it to be like a foam stress ball, but its a much more dense foam. Pressing it into place to stick, the foam compresses by maybe half its thickness, and thats using my body weight. With a toddlers 3lbs head, I dont see this foam compressing much to absorb impact energy. Will definitely stop lacerations, but Id fully expect his head to bounce off like running into a plastic slide. Nonetheless, its well made, esthetically good looking, and Ill be happy its there instead of brick when he inevitably falls on it.

This product does its job but the adhesion is not strong enough. My toddler pulls it right on the fire place a million times a day and plays with it. I thought it was way too expensive for what it actually is. Better off using a pool noodle or something….

Exactly as advertised. Quality material and fits fireplace very well and stays on fireplace.
