I should have bought this when my baby first started crawling because its so much easier to contain him to the play area. I really like that it's able to stay closed without actually locking it so that my 2 year old can still lift the latch to come in and out (since he's potty training and needs to run to the BR). I didn't actually mount it because the instructions say that mounting the wall cups is only absolutely necessary if you're placing the gate at the top of a staircase. The pressure is enough to hold it; it's been up for 2 weeks and hasn't moved at all. I think I'll buy another one to put in the doorway of my boys' bedroom so that when I start putting baby in his toddler bed I don't have to worry about him getting up and wandering around the house.

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.

this gate is great. Spring loaded. Great for the nursery door. Easy gate latch too! I think my son will figure it out wventually becuase he is a little problem solver at 21 months, but so far it does the job. My only thought is that the gate slats are pretty far apart in my opinion.

the gate only opens one way...so if you tend to forget that the entire gate will come down! Bought it to keep the little one off the kitchen as she is able be pretty creative and climb into places really fast...well...after a few hours of putting the gate into place she was able to open and close the gate one handed...better than the adults. SO I DISCOURAGE YOU FROM GETTING THIS GATE! Wish I would have gotten a different one.

I purchased the gate to keep my cornish rex cats out of my daughters bedroom. We found out she is allergic to her beloved cats so we keep them out of her sleeping area because she cannot depart with them completely. The gate is great except our littlest cat is very small ( a runt) and he can slip through the bars just at the gate opening so my husband rigged the extra extension bar that came with it in the space and he can't get through now. Great item for the money. My daughter is 6 yrs old and has no trouble with the gate and it looks nice we got the white one.

I researched several gates before finally settling on this one, and I am so happy I did. My 4 year old can open it with ease, but my younger children can't, and won't get their fingers pinched in it when my 4 year old closes it. I used the site to store feature, and it was easy and quick. Highly recommend this gate to anyone.

I just received this gate and we had it installed in the doorway within about 20 minutes. Very easy to install. Very sturdy. We bought it because we are getting 2 puppies and need to be able to keep them confined to the kitchen while going through potty training. Love the fact that we can walk through the gate and not have to step over. It comes with an extension but we didn't need to use it. I wish we had bought two instead of one, but we have a plastic one that will be ok for temporary use in another doorway. Absolutely recommend this gate - it's sturdy and should last for years.

This gate was easy to assemble and can be moved from doorway to opening over the stairs in a matter of minutes. It is very sturdy. It is great to be able to use the swing gate rather than take the whole gate down for access beyond the gate, especially with toddlers following behind you.

Overall I love this gate the only thing I would change is to make the opening a little wider but otherwise for the money it's great. I got tired off stepping over the plastic pressure gates and didn't want to install the other swing gates. This is great and is not cheap. It's very sturdy proven by my 21 month old. You have to slide a latch to release the handle to open it and once we do that and she can open and close it 50 times a day in and out the gate hasn't moved an inch!

We bought this item to help us keep out 2 schnauzers contained and we are looking towards the time when out twin Grandbabies begin to walk. It was easy to install and does the job very well. It looks nicer than those wooden type gates and can be operated easily. I would highly recommend this gate!
