Product Description

Editorial Review

This wood-and-mesh baby gate is a quick, light, easy solution to those gaping doorways through which baby can crawl. It isn't a substitute for semi-permanent metal gates especially at the top of a stairway, for which it is not recommended. And it can't really be opened and closed with one hand there isn't a frame independent of the gate itself, so releasing the pressure releases the entire unit. On the other hand, its sheer lightness makes it ideally portable, and its simple pressure mechanism will safely fence off any doorway or opening between 26 and 42 inches wide. The four rubber bumpers on the sides are positioned to miss baseboards. And the plastic mesh is more durable than it looks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for infants, not good for persistent toddlers, January 25, 2002

This review is from: Evenflo Position and Lock Wood Safety Gate (Baby Product)

I highly recommend this for younger walkers and crawlers because it really is a strong gate. As your child gets to the age where he learns how to climb, however, beware because the mesh gives little ones a good foot hold. Even though my nephew learned how to climb over the gate, it never fell over (due to his weight) - proof that it is an extremely sturdy product despite the fact that it latches on due to pressure alone! So I give it a four. It's a great product for the price you pay but it is not perfect in design. Oh, and another thing, try not to let your little ones watch you set up the gate... they learn real fast once their problem solving capabilities kick in!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Gate, but Not for my son, July 10, 2001

By 

"missymouse74" (Toledo, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evenflo Position and Lock Wood Safety Gate (Baby Product)

We chose this gate based on its price and ease of use. My in-laws had one for their other grandchildren. It fits well in our doorway and seems very secure. I can release it easily, or step over it if necessary. I also liked the fact that it required no hardware mounting into the wall or doorway, since I live in an apartment with a picky landlord. However, my son (10months, with 8 teeth) likes to chew on EVERYTHING, including this gate. ... I think this one would work for him quite well once he gets out of the chewing stage. He has also bitten off a few small pieces of wood which makes me nervous. This is a good gate for those whose children don't gnaw on everything in sight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and effective, October 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Evenflo Position and Lock Wood Safety Gate (Baby Product)

This is the best gate for us. I am reluctant to use gates that screw into the walls, but also wanted something effective. This gate is simple easy to use and depending on the tension you select, really does the job of blocking little ones from dangerous areas. Very light and portable as well.
