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.

Excellent gate! Very pleased with the quality and sturdiness. Stays tight in the doorway without marking! The only thing that was difficult is that removing the tabs at the ends before adding extenders was not explained properly at all. Took me time to figure out the diagram which didn’t include this info.

We put these up a few days ago and they're already a godsend! Our toddler can't walk yet (developmental delays due to prematurity), but he sure can crawl everywhere! He goes into places we'd rather not have him, like the hallway and the kitchen. This gate was easy to assemble, but it would do well to have an extra pair of hands, since it can be weird trying to balance it and rotate the "plastic wing nuts" to tighten the pressure mounts to the walls evenly.

I purchased this gate after I had a little one that became mobile, and I wanted to keep her out of various rooms. Sadly, it ended up snapping at the wall joint after the little one spooked the dog, who crashed headfirst into it. I'd have given them a five, but the fact I cannot, for the life of me find a spare part, is highly distressing and I took 2 stars off as it seems like I have to buy an entirely new gate to get the part I need.

We have tried a few baby gates, and this model is by far my favorite! My husband put it up in just a few minutes- super quick, and it is very sturdy! I feel confident that my 20 month old will not be able to dislodge it/break it/ or figure out how to open it. I plan on getting another for the deck stairs at Grammy and grampy's house!

I've tried a few of these gates in the hopes of finding something easy and reasonably priced that suits my family. Both of these have failed miserably, just with very basic limited use. They locking mechanism sticks and causes the door to either be incredibly difficult to open or causes the door to not close at all. I hate this gate, do yourself a huge favor and buy a nicer one.

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.

At first, I was unsure of where I would put two of these gates I received as I already had two (albeit mismatched) gates on our stairs. However upon opening the box and reading through the product details, I was pleased to see that it fit our stairs better than those we had already installed. As such, I decided to replace the current gates so that we would have a matching, better fitting set of gates. I was very impressed with the ease of installing the first gate. It actually took longer to get the already installed gate off than it did to install the new gate. Once I moved on to the second gate, my 2.5 year old was helping build the gate. We installed that one quickly as well (as quick as it can be with a toddler helping)! The latch system involves squeezing a trigger and then using your thumb to slide a switch, which is harder than the previous system we had of thumbing a switch and lifting the gate. This may be a problem for some (like our toddler's grandmother), but this is a good thing for us, since our toddler is quite adept at figuring out things and was close to cracking the previous gate's mechanism. I highly recommend these gates!

I received this 2 pack of gates for free for my honest opinion. The only other gate we've tried was a wooden gate and it was not easy to put in the door way and it broke easily. This gate we received is super easy to adjust, easy to use and open. The instructions are easy to read to put it together. This was a gate we were looking for but we weren't looking for and didn't know we needed. It is not an easy gate to try and climb over for little kids either.

Well made and sturdy. This gate was easy to install, and the four positioning screws allow it to be mounted with varying widths; that is, the lower and upper screws can be adjusted to fit exactly, without having to use hardware. The latch on the gate was a bit difficult at first, and requires some hand strength, but nothing an adult cannot handle, but a child of eight to 12 or so would find the latch difficult. The only problem with this gate is that my two puppies are quite small (adult size will be 10 lbs.), and they were able to walk right through the bars! We were disappointed, but had to return it for this reason only. Anyone with a larger dog will find this gate very useful. One suggestion for the manufacturer is to include a small door in the gate for another pet, such as a cat, to use; other gates have this feature.
