Baby : Summer Infant Sure and Secure Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate in White

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great purchase - love this gate!
We bought this gate a couple of days ago. Our 9 month old daughter has discovered the stairs. It fits perfectly at the bottom of the stairs. The extra tall height is a bonus. It was easy to install. My husband had it up in less than 10 minutes. Easy to open with one hand and the gate doesn't slam shut. Great purchase! Recommend this to everyone.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great- - -we bought 2
This is a great gate! Super easy to install! Unlike other reviewers, ours makes little to no noise when it closes. And our 10 month old son has been able to walk out of it without tripping over the bar across the bottom. The gate is very study and has a better "look" than many of the other baby gates. We are definitely pleased!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy to install, no drill holes and extra tall
This is a great gate - I just bought it two days ago and was able to install it easily and quickly. It seems very secure. It does not slam shut for me (maybe I am just lucky). The extra height is wonderful. It is not, as a previous reviewer commented, an implication that shorter gates are "unsafe"! - The extra height is great if you have kids and a dog for example. We have a large dog and we wanted something that would keep our baby in the living and dining rooms and our dog in the family room and kitchen area. This works great for that. Smaller gates would not have kept our dog out of our baby's play area. It easily locks in to place and can easily be opened with one hand. We have a white room and doorway so it is also color-coordinated and there are pads on the pressure points so your door frames won't get scuffed up. So far this seems to be an excellent gate. Oh and you DON'T need additional extensions and the price is excellent for the type and size of gate you get. We got ours for (...) - cheaper models (...) all got bad reviews - doesn't mean they are terrible for everyone but it seems you get what you pay for.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best gate for difficult situations
This baby gate is the best gate out there for difficult situations. We have stairs that have the decorative railings. I did not want to have to drill into the railing so we gated off the hallway before the stairs instead. This was the gate long enough that was under $100. At the bottom of the stairs it was the only gate that was the right height to be able to be pressure mounted easily to the railing. Both of the gates are extremely secure. Both me and my husband tried to pull/push them down and they will not budge.

The locking mechanism is great. The "loud" click that people have complained about is really not that loud. I like it because it gives me the extra ensurance that the gate is locked behind me.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Returned it in favor of Hands Free Gate
At one time, we were using both a Hands Free gate (upstairs) and this prouct (downstairs). Both door openings were equally wide. Both products were equally easy to install. We ended up returning this one, and buying a second Hands Free. Here's the comparison:

Extra Tall Gate:
1) Comes with extensions (built into price). Don't be fooled by any of these products - you will ALWAYS need at least one extension.
2) Self-closing, BUT it is very easy to get the gate out of alignment. When this happens, it won't always self-close in one direction.
3) Although latch is very simple, it DOES require one hand to open it. Picture yourself carrying a 20 lb child in one arm, and a jug of formula in the opther, and consider how you will open the gate.
4) Because these gates use compression (instead of drilling into walls) they have a bar across the bottom. The bar on this gate is thicker, and more of a tripping hazard. Hands-free has a ramp.
5) The gate misaligns EASILY, even when securely pressed between walls or door openings. This is because when it swings shut, it usually slams. Enough of this and it always knocks the assembly out of alignment. By 'alignment' I mean all four pads that contact the wall must be in a perfect plane. Misalignment means one of the pads (usually the top ones) slipped.
6) When the gate slams shut, it makes noise. Therefore, you always need to close it gently -- or worse, sometimes leave it 'closed, but not latched' -- so as to not wake sleeping babies. The danger in this is that other people may think the gate is latched and safe. Mom might have left it unlatched to not wake the baby; dad later thinks it's closed and locked because it's self-closing... Not good.
7) Yeah, it's tall... Extra-tall even... In fact, it's about 4" taller than most gates. Are they implying that most gates are unsafe since they are shorter?

Hands-free
1) You will NEED to buy at least one extension. No one in America has doors narrow enough to fit the gate alone... A gate + 1 extension equals the price of the Tall Gate.
2) NOT self-closing. This might sound bad, but if the parents leave the gate wide open when the kids are sleeping, it is obvious to all that it is open.
3) Bar at bottom has an anti-tripping ramp.
4) Truly hands-free! I can carry my twins - opening is extremely simple with your foot.
5) These just don't seem to ever get out of alignment. Remember, the gate is never slamming shut, so there is no force to misalign it.

The Hands-Free gate just has too many things going for it. Check out the super long list of 5-star reviews. The only 1-star reviews complain about a poorly designed foot pedal for the latch. The models that are being sold now have fixed that problem.

While there is nothing truly wrong with this gate (assuming no one leaves it unlocked), the Hands-free is simply much better.
