I have a 9 month old baby and bought this gate for the top of our stairs. It really is awesome! Now I don't have to worry about my baby cruising around anymore! It was super easy to assemble, I did it all by myself - no male help needed ;-)! If you need a sturdy baby gate and don't want to spend a whole lot of money on it - buy this one!

I love this baby gate. Our puppy started having luxating patella problems suddenly so we have to limit her space so she can begin to heal. I love this gate, it's easy to walk through and it works in our hallway which has a molded baseboard on the bottom. This gate has 4 places to adjust so this problem no longer exists. Exactly what we needed!

We got this gate to keep our toddler out of our kitchen because it was safer and more efficient than adding individual locks to each appliance and cabinet, to just block off the entire room and keep her out altogether. The gate itself is sturdy and functions well, it was easy to install, it's convenient for the parent to be able to walk through instead of stepping over or having to take down every time you need to pass through, but the locking mechanism is so primitive and over simplified that my 2 year old had already mastered it the very same day it was installed! All it took was her watching us unlock it once or twice and she'd figured it out. Which means this gate ultimately only works if you're using it for a pet or small baby who hasn't yet honed their fine motor skills, but even then, you had better be prepared to have to buy another for it's replacement as soon as they do because it's nothing for a toddler to open on their own!

I bought this gate in 2012 to keep my son out of my 3 year old daughters room as she has lots of little things he can choke on! But I didn't want to close her door when she was in there so I can still check in on her. We were able to teach her to unlock it by herself within a few days of purchasing it so she can come and goes as she pleases. We are now buying another one for my son's room since he now is sleeping in a toddler bed and we need a gate up at night to make sure he stays in his room. I don't like closing there doors at night so this is the best solution! Hope this helps and the cost is well worth it to keep them safe!

Hi, I got the gate yesterday to keep my two year old out of the kitchen. Pros: The gate is easy to put up, very sturdy, and I don't think he will figure out how to unlock it for awhile. Cons: the opening to walk thru is a little narrow and the bar at the bottom has caused some family member's to trip because they had forgot it was there. Also, I would say it is for ages 0-3yrs old depending on the child. After watching us a couple of times my 4yr old niece has figured out how to unlock it. Also my two year can open it if its not locked completely. So to insure that your little one will not get in or out make sure you hear the "click" to know that its locked. Overall good gate but it has only been 24hrs.

We thought we would have to have the adapter for this gate because we have a staircase that curves and has molding which makes contact uneven for the gate. We put the gate at a slant and the screws are adjustable on all four sides so it enables the gate to fit easily. It is extremely sturdy and very nice looking.

I read such wonderful reviews on these gates but from what i found i would not recommend them for anyone over 100lbs. My husband and I, both average size people, have a hard time fitting with a baby on our hip. You litterally haveto turn side ways. Also w/o the extendor it was too small, with the extendor it was too big. Just a hassel. We ended up spending more money and getting a better quality gate. One plus is it seemed pretty sturdy but the gate opens very easily and children can figure it out fast, defeating the purpose.

I bought this gate because it was the cheapest "easy open" gate I could find. However, it is HAZARDOUS for children. My 4-year-old son got his finger caught in the latch (there are multiple areas on the latch that can easily pinch) and had to be taken to the ER to get stitches. So saving $15 on the gate ended up costing us a ridiculous medical bill.

I purchased this gate for my 10-1/2 month old daughter last week, and installed is using pressure but not the optional hardware mounts, as it is simply between rooms not near stairs. It was easy to install but after about 5 days it seems that it's bowing a bit--the screws that are between the wall and the actual gate are now at a bit of an angle due to the pressure--so I believe that she'll be able to use force to yank it down once she figures out its vulnerability. Other than that, it works well, and is easy to open, yet secure. My only concern is that the width of the actual opening in the gate is a bit narrow for large or less coordinated people (like aging grandparents) so I'm considering whether we need to replace the gate out of courtesy to them.

What a great gate. We have a new puppy so we needed to contain her in a room with three doors. We purchased a plastic gate from a store in town and it had to be screwed into the doorjam. It also takes 15 to 30 seconds to manipulate the open shut feature with BOTH hands. NOT THIS METAL GATE! IT IS WONDERFUL. The gate does not need to be screwed in; it is pressure mounted. The ease of opening the gate is 10X better than the gate we purchased previously from another store. Plus this great metal gate was only $10 more than the one we are not happy with. Now we need a gate for the third door and we are definitely going to purchase another one of these Regalo gates. Our puppy is nearly 30 pounds of pure energy and she has been happily contained by this gate for 2 weeks now.
