 Best gate so far.... June 27, 2008
We have many gates in our house and this one by far is the best one. It was very easy to install and use. My daughter loves to swing the gate closed and she hasn't got hurt once, it is a very safe gate for little fingers. Very handy to open with your foot when your hands our full.
Wonderful Gate, Saved our Carpet! June 25, 2008
Before buying this gate, we had an ugly green carpet that apparently the dog did not respect either. The dog decided it must have looked like the lawn outside and began using it the same way. We were constantly on our hands and knees cleaning, shampooing, and scrubbing this thing. We decided to buy new carpet and did not want the problems to start again. We bought this gate and installed it on our stairs so that she would be unable to get to the carpet while we were not home. We were concerned about the gate getting in our way, but with the hands free ability to oen and close this gate, we have had no problems. There have also been no accidents on our new carpet. We are very pleased with the function of this gate!
Great Gate with One Potential Upgrade June 20, 2008
This gate has worked great for us. It was relatively easy to install. I wish it had some sort of hidden storage for the plastic tightening wrench and that the screws would stay in the gate when moving it from location to location.
worth what it costs and quite sturdy June 20, 2008
This gate is very simple to install, but time-consuming to get the perfect fit. I'd say it took me a solid half an hour the first time. I recently moved it to a doorway and spent just 15 minutes (since I am now an experienced baby gate installer). It is tension mounted with no hardware or tools required. It does come with a little plastic wrench, which is useful for the final tightening once you have the gate in place. It does take quite a bit of elbow grease as well.
I expected the gate to swing closed more easily. You have to stop and use your hand, foot, or knee to push it all the way closed - at least on mine. I do find myself using my hands most the time to make sure it's closed, but if I do have my arms full it can definitely be operated without my hands.
My baby girl is 8 months old and spends a lot of time standing at the gate (and pulling on it). I like that if she has her hands on the gate, there is nowhere for her fingers to get pinched as I open it. Well, there is one place she could; if she ever messed with the foot pedal near the bar that it's connected to. I have found that if I get my foot too close to that bar when operating the foot pedal, I get a good pinch.
I am using the gate in a doorway and the door is able to close normally. The braces come off the doorjamb just ever so slightly, but it is still secure.
I have also used it in a hallway with one extension. In the hall, the top two braces were affixed on the wall, and the bottom two on floorboards, which come out about 1/2" and I still got a secure fit. The hall is 38" and one extension did the trick, but the extensions are about $16 so it could get expensive if you needed to make it wider. The manufacturer recommends only going up to 44". When I removed the gate from the hall there was damage to the wall under one of the top braces - it removed paint and texture.
Love it June 19, 2008
I have two of these gates now. It was so easy to install, less than 5 minutes to set-up. Convenient, no need for hands. I can have my hands full and still get in and out of rooms with this little gate. Love it.
