This is the third safety gate that I have bought through Amazon.com, the second of this type. The first was a wall extension gate purchased from The First Years that came bent. I didn't want to make an issue of it at the time, as my husband bent it back and we are using it. I also bought two of this type that I have purchased through Amazon.com. The first one I placed at the bottom of my stairs which took my husband, a general contractor, over an hour to install,admittedly, because of our stairs. The second gate, my husband opened this morning to find the parts broken which could not have been done during shipping. Since only one of the three gates came intact, I think other customers should be made aware to check their gates as soon as they get them for broken parts and bent rods, especially when you are dealing with the safety of your children. I am suprised that a baby company like "Babies R Us" does not have better control of the quality of their suppliers. I will think twice about buying any future safety items for my child on line from The First Years.

The gate was easy to install and is easy to use. It was also able to widen to fit a space that is bigger than the average doorway (which many out there would not).

I would definatley recommend this gate to anyone looking for a wall mounted swing gate. It is easy to use and blends in nicely.
The only dissapointment I've had was after 1 week of use part of the wall mounting bracket just broke! I called The First Years company directly, I didn't have my receipt, they were VERY nice, and immediately sent out a replacement part and it's been fine for about a month.
If I hadn't received such good service from The First Years, I would not have given this 4 stars.
Even though I had some initial trouble I still love the gate!

We bought this gate from Babies R Us last month and installed it in our home as a hardware-mounted swing gate. After just a couple of weeks of use, the top plastic hinge snapped off from the wall, leaving only the two screws in the wall. I was surprised by how easily the part broke. We like the design so we have requested a replacement part from the company. Fortunately, we did not install at the top of our stairs - seeing how easily it snapped from the wall, I would not recommend installing the gate at the top of any stairs.

This gate has lasted a year of daily use and is still in great condition. My son, like most kids is a natural climber. So when I heard that he tried to climb up on old gate (the one with the white wires criss crossing) at his daycare(at only 8 months), I had to get something safe at home. So I did my research at a local Babies R us store, and got him something we'd both like. Hes tried a lot of times to climb out(but has no holes to put his feet in), or even hang on this gate and it still holds up like I just took it out of the box. I have two of theses, one is mounted in a high traffic hallway, the other is pressure mounted for a laundry room. I love that they are see through, so you can see what your child is up to, espically during those times when its too quiet. He loves it, so he can see us when he can't reach us. The same company also makes one that you can't see through at all. This gate is great and I recommend it for anyone looking for a safe reliable safty gate.
