I've gone through a lot of gates, this one is the worst. Its difficult to set up and not very sturdy. The "secure" arm that holds it in place is hard to get positioned into place and it pops out very easy!! We threw this thing away. . its terrible!

first moments after i put this gate up to keep my 9 month old daughter out of the kitchen it took all of the paint right off the walls down to the frame! 4 big patches....then my daughter tried to pull up on it and it slides around on the wall...its a good thing i was right there to get her..and then from the design w/all the little holes my dearest baby did a pull up and lodged her toes in it ( ya know like climbing a chainlink fence when you were a kid) and tried to climb over it!!! i took it back the next day!!!

The gate is wonderful if you want to leave it in one place and rarely move it. However, if you need to get through, it is horrible to move. It doesn't set up easily. It doesn't slide (to change sizes) easily at all. Ok for the price if you don't have to move it.

I think it is important to read reviews first before you buy any product especially this one.

CONS: Heavy, hard to adjust, no swing (meaning you need to lift your legs to go through - incovenient espcially if you are not tall), pressure mount did not work, bulky

I believe Safety 1st shoudl discontinue this.

I suggest go for the metal gates with swing. Cost more but why pay for something that does not work and will frustrate you - it'll just be a waste of time andmoney.

Good and sturdy, better than the other I had as far as quality made, but a bit tough to open and close. Overall a nice gate though.

I have tried several other baby gates and this one is by far the BEST one I have found. It locks securely and my almost 2 year old cannot get it undone. Slides easy when the handle is in the "slide" position, otherwise will not slide. The gate I bought was a little cheaper than what Amazon is selling it for now, but it is still a great value for the cost.

This baby gate is JUNK! It takes some work to get it to fit tight in a doorway and its hard to latch. Save your money and go buy a cheap $10 wood one from wal-mart. I figured that it would at least work to keep my son out of the kitchen...until he tried climbing it for the first time when he was about a year old. The entire gate fell down and pinched his fingers under it. I'm a very mechanical person, I can figure out how to put a baby gate up securely, but this one just doesn't do secure.

i have 2 of these and they are strudy, and they adjust to fit small and wide openings. And its so cheap too yet strong. I reccommend this to anyone who is low on cash but wants to keep their babies (or their pets) inside and safe.

I was happy to find a gate that was so adjustable. However, this gate has been a nightmare to use. In order to have the gate be tight enough in the doorway, the slot into which the locking handle fits ends up too far to the side for the locking handle to fit in it's slot. I had to lock it into position while it's free standing, then jam it into the doorway. I won't even give this gate to charity. It's too difficult to use, and dangerous if not installed tightly enough.

We wanted to confine our 2 puppies to a small area with 2 exits. We got two of these security gates and they worked perfectly.

Pros:
No hardware installation required.
The pups could not move them at all.
Found them for only $15.99 at a local Target store.

Cons:
The gate will mark up your walls a bit.
You must lock it into place properly. Otherwise the lock can snap open and the gate will fall.
It's a hassle if you need to move them often. We don't move them at all and just step over them.

All in all, we like this gate because it's cheap and serves our purpose. If you need to open the gate or move it often, this is not the gate for your.
