I LOVE these gates and have one on almost every door. Very easy to assemble with minimum tools, used only a wrench to tighten. The latch for the gate is also very easy to open even when your in a rush but baby proof for my 2 year old. Love that it’s simple and blends in. Would highly recommend these affordable easy to use baby gates which are also great for dogs!

I really like the gate so far, I like that it will close on its own but it doesn’t lock so that’s very helpful. It was also easy to set up which is great when you’re short of time. I do have to say that the handle can be hard to open at times. Overall it seems sturdy and works well.

We have tried so many gates for my recently turned two year old, and this is definitely one of my favorites. My two year old can figure out gates quickly, but this Safety 1st Gate is very secure! I put it between our kitchen and living room, and it works perfectly. I will be buying more in the future.

I received this gate and I love it. Its easy to install and it’s made of good material. But it doesn’t fit in any door you need to make sure you have an space of 31 inches or less.

This is the best gate I’ve used. The installation was so easy. It took less than ten minutes to install. The included tool made it even easier. It took me longer to figure out which door to put it in than it did to install it. At first the lock mechanism was confusing, as I was more accustomed to my other gate, but once I figured it out I liked it much better. It’s easier to open and shut with the slide versus having a button. I also really like the locks at the bottom to dictate which way the gate swings. I am not using them at the moment but it is a super convenient option if you don’t want it to swing both ways. Another happy surprise was it locks open if you open it all the way, so you don’t have to worry about it swinging shut if you’re doing something like bringing in several items and don’t want to bother opening the gate each time. It’s the perfect height for a toddler, but still low enough for me to step over if I need to (I’m just over 5 feet tall). Overall this is the perfect gate. I don’t think I’ll use any other after using this one.

I like this gate I think it looks beautiful and clean feels sturdy. The flat step was the reason I gravitated towards this item because in the past at other people’s houses I would always hate the step over. I would say be mindful of your door frame because this gate only fits the standard door otherwise you need to purchase additional extensions. Install was very easy you literally just put it on the door frame and twist the knobs in. The handle to Open and close is hard to use at first my brother says it’s “adult proof” but I don’t have a problem with it and my 9 year old nephews are able to open and close it just fine. The gate is also high enough I am able to still hop over if I need.

Great gate, super simple installation, took me probably 5 mins on my own. Gate has a bit of a tricker opening mechanic than a lot of gates I’ve seen, so it might be the solution if your toddler is an escape artist with other gates. Door swings both ways and stays open when pushed either way, so it’s not constantly swinging when in use, great plus. This gate is very sturdy, once installed correctly, it will not budge, my clumsy kiddo has ran into it multiple times and it hasn’t needed adjusted since being installed. Something to note, this is only suitable for standard doorway entrances. I was hoping it would be long wide enough to work in my hallway but no such luck.

I can not recommend this enough! It is so easy to use and fit in any doorway. We have a tiny dog and he could fit through any other gate we bought, but not this one. Dog and baby parent approved!

I really love this gate. As my son is now crawling and i need to keep him in one room, this gate makes it so easy for me to come in and out. The swinging door is so easy and great. Also the instillation is simple and easy. I couldnt be more happy this this gate!

This baby gate is amazing! The opening mechanism is so easy to use, as was installation. It’s keep our baby contained but having the option to leave it open for them to free roam is so much more convenient than a conventional gate. I don’t think I’ll ever want any other type of gate used in our home.

I received this product free for reviewing purposes. It’s a great gate. Nice and study. It is super easy to install. It comes with everything you need so you don’t need to seek out any extra tools or screws or anything like that. It’s pressurized so you don’t need to drill any pieces into your wall or door frame in order to use it which I love. It works perfectly fine keeping my son safe. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that you have to watch your step going through so you don’t trip on the bottom of the gate’s frame. It’s a minimal trip hazard but it’s still there.

This safety gate is really solid and easy to install. It fits standard door frames, but may not work in other openings (so check the size of where you want to use it). The installation instructions are pretty clear and easy to follow. They have also marked on the fence which pieces should be held for last to keep the install smooth. The size is a little short, maybe a bit above my knees, which would make this better for small children. Toddlers may try climbing over it, if you have an active and determined one like me. Some other gates come in taller heights, so you can follow the measurements of this one to see if it is tall enough for you/your child. The metal is very sturdy, and the clasp is easy to do once you get the hang of it, making it work nice and smoothly. As long as you know the limitations (about width and height), this is perfect for most doorways.

I received this baby gate in perfect time as my son is crawling. The instructions read very clear and I was able to install the gate within 5 minutes. It also doubles as a perfect pet gate also!

This gate serves its purpose. However, it took quite a while for the gate to be installed. It wouldn’t lock right initially and took my husband an hour to get it right, and my husband is very handy. The color fits nicely in my hallway. It is a little shorter than what I expected so if your baby is tall I wouldn’t recommend. Other than that, it works well!

This gate is extremely sturdy and very sleek. The locking feature is my favorite since little ones can’t get it open by just flicking the top. Being able to open this gate takes a little arm work for a kid which makes it perfect for 2-5 year olds. While it is a wonderful gate the installation process is a little trying because you want to make sure that you see the green to ensure a tight and proper installation. To make sure it wasn’t slipping, was straight, and was tight enough for me to see green was ok but it was gauging how much to loosen it to be able to open the gate. Other than that we have used this gate everyday – multiple times per day in my daughters doorway and I never feel like it’s loose or needs adjusting. It really is a great gate!

It is so easy to set up, easy to open the gate, very light and it stops the little guy from getting into trouble.
