 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.
Love this gate! June 16, 2008
I've searched everywhere to find a gate that fits our staircase. The posts are uneven and I've had a ton of difficulty. Anyway this gate is awesome! It's works perfectly!
Awesome Gate! June 14, 2008
I can't understand why some people have had any problems with this gate. It's awesome! It was very easy to install and my little one jumps up and down on the floor lever and can't get it to open. I can't get the pedal off if I tried so I think there may be some problems with the others who spoke about it coming off so easily. I love that its hands free and sturdy like a rock!
