I love the idea of this gate, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not get this gate to lock. I tightened it as far as it would go, so much so that it started to dent my wall. And it still wouldn't lock! But let's go back to the beginning. I knew I needed to add one extender due to the opening of my hallway. It was exceptionally hard to pull the plugs out, even with the suggestion on the instructions. Then they were so loose once they came out but they kept falling out when I tried to put it up. Now, perhaps it's the difference between the molding and the wall and that's why it's not wanting to secure itself. But generally speaking when you use a baby gate it's going to be where there is baseboards on the bottom and wall on the top connectors. So it should be able to account for that. Definitely would not recommend.

We have three kids ranging from 10 to 2 years old and have had many baby gates throughout the years. This gate is definitely one of our favorites. It's easy to install and extremely sturdy. The material is super easy to wipe down which is great for sticky fingers and aesthetically pleasing. The *only* con is that it is difficult to unlock which is good so the little ones can't open and close but even a pain in the butt for the adults.

We are expecting our first child any day and safety was our number one concern when preparing for him! We spend the majority of our time on the second floor of our house and were thrilled to find this gate fit perfectly across the top of our staircase. It was so easy to install and only took 10 minutes. It's sturdy and easy to open. Best of all we have peace of mind once he'll start crawling around!

The gate works great and is easy to install as advertised. The only problem I have with it is that is will not last long cause the housing for the locking mechanism for the gate is completely made of plastic and will break over time. The metal screws that keep housing together screw into plastic and that has failed on mine in just over a year. Saftey 1st should look into making the housing not completely of plastic (at least where the metal screws fasten to).

For the price I thought this would be better. I actually prefer the regalo gate - it also swings in both directions and and is easier to open and close. I bought both and wish I had had bought 2 of the regalo instead. That said. There is nothing wrong with the safety first gate. Just for the price you are not getting anything better.

We had been using the standard wooden pressure mount type gates and having to step over them to go from room to room. There was a lot of tripping going on. SO glad to be able to walk through the door on this gate. Stays tight against the door frame and is so sturdy the little ones' tugging doesn't budge it. These go together easily and quickly as well.

I love this gate, it's great to use from crawling stage to toddlers. It was extremely using to install and looks great in my home (as far as gates go). It also works well for small pets to be blocked off from an area. Installation took less than 5 minutes and the gate can easily be removed from one location to another.

I bought this gate to keep the dog out of my room. It works great. It was pretty simple to install if you read directions. There is no bar on the floor to trip on. The gate opens and closes very easily. I would recommend to family and anyone looking for a gate.

The extenders made it too wide to fit in the door space, and without them the screws were hardly long enough that any pressure at all would pull it right off the wall. With some extra tools I was able to get it sturdy enough, but it wouldn't be safe at all using only what came with it. I think a simpler design would be far more effective. Gave it 2 stars because I got it to be mostly functional.

I like the simple designs of these gates. They seem well built and sturdy. They are easy to install and easy to use. The downsides for my family outweigh the usefulness for the product though. They don't fit anywhere in my home where I need them. They are compact which is nice, but they're way too compact. They are really very small and have no option to extend them to fit any larger areas. They really only fit in doorways which unfortunately for me isn't enough to make them useful in my home. Has they made them wider or made them with some sort i'd possibility to extend them, I'd like them a whole lot more.
