I bought this baby gate to keep my LO out of my daughter's room since the cat box is in there. I originally had up one of the little wooden gates which worked just fine, but every so often, my daughter would trip climbing over it! It was also a pain for me to lift my legs over it while holding the baby if I needed to go in there. I knew I wanted one that swung open for easy access! I compared a couple on the walmart website and liked the reviews better on this one. It was easy to install and it's easy to use for the whole family. Right now our kitty is young, tall and lanky so she can fit through the bars.. I'm wondering if when she gets bigger and doesn't fit, if she will have an easy time jumping it or not! That is my only concern about the gate! I definitely recommend the gate, and the price is wonderful! As parents, everything is so pricey.. you don't have to spend extra money to get a good gate, this one rocks.

For the people that can't fit it into a 36 inch space here is how to do it, you take the adjusting knobs off on one side only then put the screws in and then add the short extension, this way it is in tight with no room on the sides you just adjust it from 1 side and is very sturdy. I hope I explained that clearly lol

I was looking for a gate that would keep our dogs out of the kitchen, but easy enough that our almost-three-year-old could work it. This is perfect and SUCH a good price. I thought it was plastic but found when it arrived that it is a nice white metal. I am going to get another one for the little one's bedroom as well. Highly recommend!

I am really glad I got this gate. I had a different one that my 2 yr old would pull on and go upstairs. So I need one that he couldnt open at the bottom of the steps. It took a few minutes to set up and easy to open. No need to screw anything in and a great price. I ordered it Tuesday and got it today Friday. May end up ordering another one and would recommend this product to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gate is definitely the best baby gate I have, and I have 5 others, all different brands. I love that its a metal tension rod, as compared to wood or plastic. My favorite feature is that it has plastic pieces you screw into the wall with a plate piece to prevent the tension rods from slipping or being pushed forward by your baby. There's nothing at all that I dislike about it, I am 100% satisfied with this baby gate and will be recommending it to all my mom friends and they can see it for themselves when they come over for a play date.

I have bought two of these gates to cordon off some rooms from my active puppy and they are the best investment I have made in a while. I have an old plastic baby gate that I paid twice the price and it has to screw into the wall which I didn't want to do this time because they are going to be temporary. This gate is great because you don't have to screw anything into the wall if you don't want to and they are sturdy enough to resist the pushing of a 15lb puppy jumping up on them. I would highly recommend this gate to anyone who wants a quality product.

We bought this gate and the Evenflo metal stairway gate. This one is installed at the bottom of stairs. Due to studs not lining up, we use it pressure mounted which is ok, but would be better screwed in. If you are very large, you will have trouble also fitting through opening. Also, bottom of gate has about a one inch bar, so care is needed to avoid tripping. But overall gate is pretty good. We kept it.

it is good for the price.even though not that good as other brands. the way to open is kind of fussy,sometimes, i just close it at the position without l;ocking it, cause my son is keeping on go in and out too trouble to lock it everytime.but it do does its work to block the way to kichen and keep the baby safe. if you donot want to spend much on a safety gate, this is a very good choice,highly recommended.

I ordered 2 of these gates to keep my 2 dogs out of the living room and from going upstairs. Right out of the box I was slightly confused on how the latch would work but after ready the instructions and following them it worked great. Install was so easy and had both gates up and working in about 15 minutes. Granted the dogs aren't to happy that I cut off space in the house for them. But it saves on my cleaning time.

We have gates that we've paid twice the price for, and this gate is so much better. It is so easy to install (recommend screwing it into the wall). And I'm not sure why people said that it doesn't fit all sizes, because it does. You let the screws dictate how wide a space (you'll figure it out). Anyway, its the best gate for the price. The lip at the bottom is a bit high and takes some getting used to.
