It needs to be screwed into the wall, the pressure mount is great but can not hold up to a walking kiddo who wants to get passed it. It was easy to install the plates though to screw it in place. The only thing I don't like is that it's not easy to open, you almost need two hands-not an easy task if babe is all ready in your arms,

I purchased this for my daughter who is 7 months pregnant. She has a puppy that she keeps gated out of the back bedrooms, and has been stepping over a gate. Not a good proposition in her condition. With this gate she can easily open it and step through instead of climbing over. It will be as convenient when the baby arrives.

Love the gate. It is very safe. Extra optional twist latches at the bottom of the gate to keep it secure if u have it at the top of the stairs. 4 stars only because the gate opening to walk through is pretty marrow and it is challenging walking through with something as common as a laundry basket in your hand. Overall I love it though.

So we bought three(2 for us 1 for my parents) of these gates they came with the 6'' extension. We live in an apartment on first floor and my parents live on the 3rd floor. so the cups that you can screw in as an extra saftey measure are a must even tho the ones in our apartment dont lead to stairs i still put them in as a piece of mind. Dont get me wrong they dont need it, but its nice that you can if you want. I really liked the fact that other than the bottom part there is no place for the baby to pinch their fingers. Very solid gate easy to use/open for us and not for baby. Its such a nice change from the gates you have to step over im 6 1/2 months pregnant so stepping over or even bending while holding my 17month old to move the gate was a pain i can open this gate with one hand(with a little practice). Thanks walmart.

The gate only swings one way and the latch is plastic. I don't think it will last. I was disappointed as I ordered one other one about two months ago and thought this was the same one. My mistake. The other gate swings both ways and the latch is metal. Much better.

The gate is well made and attractive. It is easy to install and works as advertised. I rated this item "good" instead of "excellent" because the door opening is very narrow. This item is perfect for someone who is very slender however, a larger person must be careful entering and exiting.

We use this at the bottom of the stairs. It was easy to install, just a pressure gate. It works fine. My two complaints are one: the total area is sort of narrow. It doesn't quite stretch far enough and causes it to be a little loose. Worse part is that the actual opening is very narrow. That being said, it works well and is a great value for the money.

My child won't get his fingers pinched in this like you can in the cheap models. Love that it stays in place and I can swing it open to walk through. Bought a second one for the other doorway after using first one for a month. Both still holding up. Fits our standard doorways but comes with an extension. Would fit a narrower doorway as well.

These gates are sturdy and fairly easy to open and close once installed. They are, however, somewhat time-consuming to install, and you wouldn't want to put them up and take them down frequently. We put 2 gates up when my 1-year-old grandson visited, and I had hoped we could take them down when he was asleep. Considering the time and effort to install them, this wasn't practical. They stayed up until grandson went home.

This Regalo Easy Step through gate is by far the best baby gate I have come across. I have tried a few others and found them very frustrating to install and to open. But the Regalo gate is fast and easy to install, and fits all the different door widths through out my entire house. Plus, once installed they are so simple to open, although figuring out how to do it one handed can be a bit tricky. I would definitely recommend this gate to anyone with kids or pets.
