Product Description

Our Hands Free Gate is more versatile than ever with this 5" extension. Use one or two extensions on our Hands Free Gate to accommodate any doorway or hallway up to 44".

Amazon.com

Many homes feature a potentially troubling combination: curious toddlers plus doorways too wide for standard gates. This extension unit is designed for use with other First Years gates, and can be used to cover areas that gates cant reach. The set includes one five-inch extender unit, which, once installed, is immobile, allowing the gate to open and shut between them or between an extender and the wall. --John Moe

Works perfectly, easy to setup, quality product

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

This product works exactly as advertised. It fit perfectly with the First Years Hands Free Gate and was super easy to install. Just slide it in and that's it. The extension looks like it is part of the overall gate. I have two extensions, one on each side of the gate and the whole setup is very sturdy. My little one can hang on the gate and it barely moves.

I cannot review because my order was canceled due to termination of product.

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2012

I wish I could write a review. Simply put I can't because the company terminated my order after accepting it. They state the gate as titled is no longer available through them or any other vendor. They did not go ahead and suggest a replacement gate to suite my needs. I was simply left with an extension I hand received from a separate vendor, with all the hassle of returning the extension, shipping and refunds. What confuses me is why was my order accepted in the first place and my C/C charged if they knew they had no way of filling the order? I was given no clear explanation or apology for taking the order in the first place. When I appealed to Tomy directly to pointed me towards a alternate gate they declined. I find this odd to say the least.
So in a way I have had no experience with this product , but it was not for lack of trying on my part to purchase a working gate designed to fit my needs. There is a similar gate provided by a different vendor the R2C - this gate seems very similar to the Tomy - hands free gate. The above mentioned R2C is marketed for animals not babies. The target demographic is a dog owner not a new mother. I am a pet owner and only went into the area of Baby gates because honestly there is far more to chose from and many different price points. I sadly have been disappointing, both a Carlson Extra wide Gate I did buy, it broke only 2 months after purchase. So, then I tried again to purchase what seemed to be a solid product, but was denied the chance. And yes I ended up with an extension for the Tomy Hands free gate, that the vendor did not want mailed back- even at my cost, in fact the vendor refused to receive it or credit me a refund. So bottom line I have purchased one gate that did not last 2 months of use, combined with two separate types of extension pieces that each vendor wanted nothing to do with once it had been mailed to me.

I have spent a fair amount of money at this point and have a broken gate, and 2 unusable extensions to show for my effort. Some of this could have been avoided completely if only Tomy had never taken my order- for a product they no longer support. I would not be in possession of two separate useless extensions for one thing. Had I been given correct information about the gate they never planed to send, I could have made a different choice. Tomy company allowed me to think - through the status of my order on Amazon - that it was simply a matter of a back order, not an order that was never going to come through. I sat waiting patiently for my order to arrive, it was only through calling Tomy directly to ask why was the shipping taking so long that I was told that my order had in fact been canceled .

Necessary, but the whole gate assy (whether or not this extension is required) just is not stable with use, requires CONSTANT fixing and must be absolutely babied.

This works great with the first years hands free gate. We have 3 and they are sturdy and easy to use.

GREAT PRODUCT, BUT OVERPACKAGED

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2008

Verified Purchase

The gate extensions work perfectly to fit the gate into a wide door, exactly what we needed! The product is great, but Amazon really overpackaged it. First of all, they shipped each extension separately in its own box from the same warehouse. Each unit (36"LX10"WX1"D)was shipped in a HUGE box (40"LX15"WX10"D), mostly filled with packing material (they could have shipped 8-10 units in one box!) C'mon Amazon, in these days of exorbitant gas prices and overflowing landfills, you need to be more mindful of your warehouse packaging. Now I have to recycle all of the huge boxes as well as packing material. Why weren't these shipped together in one appropriate box??? All I can say is I am glad that I didn't have to directly pay for shipping on those two big boxes filled a small amount of product and a lot of nothing else, but I am sure that that cost of overpackaging and overshipping is built into your overall prices.
Product recommended, Amazon deserves a slap on the hands for poor Warehouse packaging!

Extention Ordering is Misleading

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2005

The hands free gate works beautifully. However, when you need to order extentions for a larger doorway realize one extention kit does not give you the maximum 44" coverage. I had to order an additional one when I realized the error and had to pay shipping twice.

Very good safety gate

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

The gate is well made and fits well in my doorway. It is easy to install and adjust. Be sure to measure your doorway and get the extension if needed as you want to install it at the minimum measurement and not the maximum. The tension and sturdiness of the gate is stronger if you install the gate and extension to fit as close as possible to your doorway width, which will minimize the distance the screws need to extend and reach the walls.
