This gate is wonderful. I loved that my son would still be able to see me through the gate as though it wasn't there. The only thing I was a little dissapointed about was the fact that you need to have a relatively large door in order for the gate to be able to swing open and walk through.

I had one of these gates 3 years ago when my daughter was an infant and it worked great. Until, one day the latch inside the door broke and we couldn't use it anymore. By that time, she was old enough that we didn't need it any longer. I purchased another one recently because our 7 month old son is crawling everywhere. The first day it was up, the bottom part that screws into the wall broke and left a hole in the mounting bracket. My husband tried to repair the bottom and the top part broke in the same way the bottom did. Later he bought some longer screws and bypassed the orignal screw holes, which worked for a few days. My daughter (4 years) pushed open the gate today and the whole bottom mounting bracket split.

My son has always been bigger than average for his age, and he started climbing around his first birthday. By 15 months, he could climb all the furniture, escape from his crib and had managed to defeat every gate we tried. I bought this gate as a last resort but wasn't holding out much hope for it. I figured that, if he couldn't climb it, he'd break it down. That's his style.
To my surprise, not only is this gate completely un-climbable, it has also stood up to constant battering without so much as a hint of wear. We've had it for 5 months and I'm yet to find any fault with it. It was easy to install (the package includes a handy template so you know where on the wall to place the hardware), it's much more attractive than most plastic gates and the clear panels make it easy to keep an eye on your child from the other room when you need to. Plus, other parents who have visited our home have made comments about my "nice gate." It's a great babyproofing investment.

Really easy to use and install. Very sturdy. I use it for the kitchen doorway and it is holding up well to all the traffic; plus having the see-thru window keeps the kids happier when separated for me; they can see me and interact with me even though the gate is up. Cleaning hand prints off the window is the only downside, really. Swings out easily and slips in and out of the mounts so that can be used as a pressure gate at another location. Only disappointment was that included spacers/mount were not really sufficient to accommodate baseboard as indicated in installation instructions. Worth the $$.

I bought this gate for the pressure mounting features.I didn't want to make holes in my walls.I read the great reviews and thought it was worth the pricely investment. Now, I totally agree with the complaints of this gate in some of the reviews about the gate not being so functional. Pressure mounting is fine, but you have to keep spinning the pressure knobs to resecuring it(takes a while and is a pain). It get's to the point where you don't even want to go through the gated area. I bought 2 gates and 1 broke within 2 days using the pressure mounting technique. The screw came off on the inside of the gate. So that gate was a loss. The height of the gate is too high for an adult to step over too. I'd recommend this gate if you want to use the hardware mounting(making holes in your wall) or if you plan on using it in an area that you don't need to get in and out of then pressure mounting is perfect. I now have the basic EvenFlo pressure mount wooden gates (yes think of the generic ones) and it does the job for $12.00!
