I've had mine for a couple of weeks and so far so good. I didn't have to use either of the extension. It is sturdy for a gate that is pressure mounted. No drilling required, which is great. The gate opens in either direction and closes on it's own. Mine does squeek a little, but it's not a problem for me. There's a little threshold you have to step over, so watch out that you don't trip over it.
The door opening is plenty wide for most folks. But watch out if you are particularly wide, you may have a hard time going through.

The gate was great at first. We had removed the rail from our 2 year old's crib and set up the toddler bed. We wanted a gate to keep her from wandering the house at bedtimes. It worked great! I liked the straight bars (no foot holds) and the hieght of the gate. But it only lasted for 6 months. She watched how everyone would open the gate and then said "look mommy, I can do it too!" and proceded to push the locking pin back and lift and open the gate. She is now 2 years and 11 months and there isn't a gate yet that she can't climb over or open.

My child is three and tall for his age. I was putting a wing chair in front of his "average" size gate to keep the escapee from escaping from his room. When that was not working I began stacking storage boxes in front of the gate. I stated to my husband that I didn't know why they didn't make gates taller because certainly there were many other parents with tall toddlers....I searched different stores and nothing. Last ditch effort I ran a search on the internet and voila, an extra tall gate! FABULOUS! Arrived so fast, so easy to install and I can open it with one hand holding my son in the other!!!!! WORTH THE MONEY and most importantly I can have peace of mind knowing my boy is safely in his room and not out wondering the house.

We got this gait as a shower gift from our registry. Though it is very expensive it is well worth the money. We are only using it to keep the animals (cats and a large dog) in the basement for now since the baby is not even here yet. This gait was very easy to install and use once up. It even keeps the cats out, which most gaits don't. We will be getting more as soon as we need them.

After trying 3 different gates (that all had high ratings on Amazon), this is my second favorite. I turned my home into my own version of a baby gate showroom to figure out which one I wanted, so here's my take on three different gates.
I think they are all pretty good gates, it just depends on your situation and what features you're looking for. The key features that ended up making a difference to me were 1) the width of the gate opening and 2) the latch mechanism
Summer Infant - Sure & Secure Extra Tall Gate
---------------------------------------------
cost $60 & extensions included / gate is 36" Tall / fits 28"-48" doorway width / 2" bar to step over / gate opening 19"
- This is the one that I wanted to like because I thought it was the best deal.
- The gate opening is about 19" - which I thought was ok, but hubby wanted wider.
- The latch mechanism is really easy to operate and I thought kids could figure it out easily, but because the gate is so tall, they would probably have a hard time reaching it.
- It does come with its own extensions in 5" and 10" so it more easily fits the wider doorways.
- However, depending on the width of your doorway, this one may or may not fit as well. For example, I had a lot of doorways that are about 33" and this gate didn't end up fitting well in them because the gate without any extensions was too small and the posts had to be extended so far it didn't seem stable. And the 5" extension was too big to add. (vs. the kidco gate's extensions add 2.75" as needed).
- It's by far the tallest and I liked that since my daughter has been in the 95% so far. I also just like the way the taller gate looks.
- It does have the highest bar across the bottom to step over - 2".
- If it fits well in your doorway it is probably the best value for the money.
Kidco Center Gateway:
---------------------
cost $85 & extensions $24 / gate is 29.5" Tall / fits 29.25" to 37.5" doorway width / 1" bar to step over / gate opening 22"
- Has the widest gate opening (the space you walk thru, not the doorway that it fits into) of any of them - about 22". (This certainly won points from my 6'2" husband who was pretty irritated when walking thru some of the others). I was surprised after reading so many reviews on all these gates that there wasn't more mention of this feature.
- This one also had the most secure latch feature. You have to push a button to lift the handle and lift the gate over a little ledge to open it and walk thru. I figure this will absolutely be the hardest one for my little one to figure out.
- This gate has the most adjustable widths and therefore would probably be the strongest in most door widths. The gate has about 2.75" pieces on the ends that you can use or not with the optional extensions (more 2.75" spindles as additions - 2 per box) to provide the most width flexibility. Because all the gates become "weaker" if the posts are extended too much, this one seems the sturdiest in my doorways. (ie. if the gate says it fits up to 37" and your door opening is 36.5", it won't seem as sturdy as if the doorway was 34").
- It doesn't have its brand name printed on it anywhere (a plus in my book) so it's totally white.
- It has the lowest bar across the floor that you have to step over at only 1" high (seems less of a tripping risk).
- This is the one that has the highest rating from Consumer Reports. (Child safety gates 8/04)
- Unfortunately, it also is the most expensive of the bunch at about $85 + any extensions you need.
- I do have to say that this one had the most confusing directions, but you can still figure it out ok - none of them took longer than 10 minutes to set up.
- It's the shortest gate and I wish it was a little taller.
- All in all, if you can afford the price of this one, it's definitely worth it!
First Years - Hands-Free Gate
-----------------------------
cost $50 & extensions $15 / gate is 32" Tall / fits 29"-34" doorway width / 1.5" bar to step over / gate opening 17"
- My gripe with this gate was primarily because the gate opening is only 17" wide! I'm 5'8" and I felt like I was going to have to really pay attention walking through it so I wouldn't end up bumping it every time. However...
- The hands-free step pedal is pretty cool and worked pretty easily. I wouldn't worry about a little kid figuring it out and having enough weight to be able to push it down to open it. For me it just wasn't cool enough to overcome my issue with the gate opening width.
- Good height to the gate.
- It was very sturdy in my doorway.
- This one did have a little ramp feature for the bar that goes across the floor that helps minimize the tripping factor.
- Fits only up to 34" doorways so has the best chance of needing an extension.
- All that being said, if you really want a hands free gate, and the width of the gate opening doesn't bug you, try this one.
All three gates seemed to:
- Fit pretty tightly in the doorways after being adjusted properly. Depending on your walls and if you have moldings etc, you might need to take an extra 5-10 minutes to adjust them and get them straight and hanging correctly.
- Had the same type of post for the pressure-mount that is covered with a rubbery material to help it not slip on the wall.
- Were pretty easy to set up.
- All look about the same from a quality point of view - in other words one of them didn't look "cheaper" to me than the others.
Please remember that for safety, only hardware mounted gates are considered stable enough to put at the top of stairs, so don't use any of these for that. Think about how you will use these gates in your house and what features you will value. Good luck with your own purchase!
