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!

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.

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.

I bought this baby gate not for a baby but for my puppy. It works better then I could have imagined. She doesn't jump over it even though I know she could. Mostly because I think she is scared of it. I would totally recommend this for any dog owner trying to confine their dog to a room without putting them in a cage.

We bought this gate to block our 10 months old son. It's very lightweight and easy to essemble. It only took us not even a minute to figured it. For the price, this is a really sturdy gate, my wife wasn't convinced at first (because it is soooo light), so, we highly recommend this gate for parents who's looking to buy one. You can buy few gates for this price compared to the expensive ones.

I really like this product. Its lightweight and takes seconds to install. At this price, I bought several to keep in different parts of the house and also in my car for travel.

This gate was hard for me to figure out until I read the instructions (duh). Now I have 3 of them and they are a breeze. They did mark up my doorways a little, despite what they claim, which is why I give this gate 4 out of 5 stars.

I bought this to block my dogs. It's great as long as the wall is perfectly square and there's no baseboard; otherwise, it's kind of hard to get a nice, tight fit while having to hold it up over the baseboard and size it at the same time. It keeps the dogs out, but if they were to try, they could definately knock it right over.

When installed properly, this gate is extremely sturdy. Our 14-month old son often pulls up on it and it doesn't budge. Furthermore, because this gate is portable, it has been very helpful in a variety of situations.

I have used this gate to keep my son from trekking onto a wet kitchen or bathroom floor. With practice, it installs in seconds. And instead of closing the door to the office, where there are wires galore, we use this gate. By using this gate (as opposed to closing doors) we have been able to more safely take care of practical tasks, while at the same time, maintain some contact with our son and the rest of the apartment.

The price is reasonable and the quality is excellent. We highly recommend this gate!

We love this gate! It's exactly what we were looking for to keep our determined (and very strong) little toddler out of areas she's not supposed to be in. It's made of hard wood (vs some of the gates made of plastic or soft wood) and is very easy to set up (once you figure out the TRICK). Yes, there is a trick to setting this thing up (which the manufacturer somehow neglected to provide!) I actually thought this gate was a complete failure until I realized that the two latching pieces actually partially detach from one another (forming a v shape). So in essence, detach the latch, pull apart the gate to fit your doorway, then snap back the two pieces to create the tension necessary to keep the gate secured to the doorway. (Hope that helps; hard to describe w/p picture. Again, wish manufacturer provided this.)
