| This is, indeed, an excellent gate. It arrived in perfect condition, too, which is not always the case on shipped items.br /br /This gate is sturdy, easy to install, and performs well. I bought it for my pet ferrets. I modified it by adding wood paneling (since ferrets would have no problem slipping through the bars) and it has been performing well. I did notice that you really need to push it shut with the knee pad or the bottom doesn't latch as readily, but that's no big deal. It clicks loudly when latched, which is a good thing, since it helps you know you've got it shut right. br /br /So far no ferrets have escaped through it (since we added the wood). There IS a small hole under the foot pedal that a tiny ferret might try to use as an escape route, but so far, none of mine have done more than peek through the opening. br /br /This gate has definitely improved things, as stepping over the gate a zillion times a day was ruining my hip. This is a well-made gate! |

| This gate was the one I selected based on reviews and I am glad I did. My 10month old cannot access the kitchen and my 5 year old nephew had a hard time accessing as well, which was the point :-)br /Excellent quality! Very happy with it and would recommend it. |

| Although i must admit that this system could conceivably work just fine for a normal doorway, little information is given to "warn" the prospective buyer of the products limitations as to wider doorways.br /br / No provision is made for adjusting to a wider doorway and, although the company has "adjusters", they want an additional exorbitant amount for those "adjusters". The result was that i had to swallow a $22 shipping charge to return the item to Amazon.br /br / None the less, i do feel fortunate having purchased the item from Amazon which allowed me to return the item with no questions asked. I will be quite a bit more cautious the next purchase and, given the chance, will avoid any purchase from this company. |

 "My 11-month old can open this gate" | 2008-09-03 |

| We installed this gate at the top of our stairs yesterday; today, our 11-month old son opened it and fell down the stairs. He's not hurt, thankfully, but clearly the gate isn't very effective. The gate was properly installed and securely closed, but he was able to open it by standing on the foot pedal while holding onto the top of the gate.br /br /The gate itself seems well-constructed and is very easy for my husband and I to use; however, because it's also so easy for our baby to use, we'll be replacing it with a different gate tonight.br /br /I can't recommend this gate for installation in critical areas of your home. |

This is pretty much the best gate I could conceive of. The pressure mounts are wonderfully sturdy, the design is ingenious and convenient, and for now, anyway, there's no way my baby is getting past it.
If there were any improvement to be made, I wish the profile of the bottom section were a little lower. I've tripped over it and stubbed my toe on it. This is a minor complaint, on balance. |

We have had this gate for a few weeks and we have no complaints. It is in a hallway to a bathroom and the baby's room so guests must use it for the bathroom.
The overwhleming comment from guests is "phew, thank goodness it is not one of those annoying gates with buttons or handles." We agree - we love the hands-free! |

We recently brought home a new puppy, and I wanted a gate that would be easy for my 5 year old to use to get into and out of her toy room, but keep the puppy safe from her toys. This gate has worked perfectly! My daughter can use it easily, and does, frequently, when she needs a break from the puppy. The puppy stays out and her toys don't get chewed, or swallowed causing huge vet bills. It is awesome because of the vertical bars, even when our dog gets older, it will be near impossible (only the future will tell) for her to get over it.
We have since moved the gate from her toy room, to the hallway that leads to both her bedroom and toy room. now all her things are safe from puppy teeth.
I find it easy to use to pass thru with laundry and whatever else. Once our newest baby gets here in November, it will definitely be even more appreciated!
It installed easy, my husband just used a level to ensure the gate was level vertically as we were tightening down the tension screws. Easy as pie! We have had it for about 3 weeks now. No complaint. An awesome product. |

We've used cheap collapsable barriers before, and they are fiddly and after time, damage the wall. We would put them on when the kids were crawling about. But now we have a new baby and the older kids can't hurdle the old barrier like we can, so we had to get one with a door. I like the fact that we aren't popping it on and off like the old one and it will just stay in place for the duration.
The older kids (twins) are 3 and a half and the lightest one (girl) weighs about 36 pounds. She can open it (with a little difficulty) by bouncing on the release, which is a relief to us since we didn't want to be lifting her over all the time. So it works well for keeping baby in, and letting little kids through. |
