 My son broke his arm falling over this gate December 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's ironic that my son would break his arm over something I bought to help protect him. He was 2 years old. I wanted a gate that was wide, could expand to a wider width on top than on bottom to accommodate the baseboards. I didn't want anything with footholds that he could use for climbing. This gate fit the bill nicely.
What happened? My son tried to climb the gate anyway. He was able to get his leg over the top bar and when he did, the material on the top bar slid over and around the bar. He couldn't grip the bar and slid right over the top, breaking his arm. Try gripping a metal bar with a loose padded nylon sleeve and you will see how difficult it is to grip the bar. Is this just a freak accident? Probably, but I can't see myself giving 5 stars for a safety product that my child defeated.
Pros:
+expands to a wide width up to 60 inches
+can make the top and bottom different widths to accommodate baseboards
+easy to expand via a twisting motion
+does not mar doorways
+pressure mounted, is portable
+mesh panel has no footholds
Cons:
-no door
-cannot be used at top of the stairs because it is pressure mounted
-if the kid gets over the top, he will fall right over!
 Great looking gate! December 1, 2008
Very happy with the purchase of this gate. Looks great, matches any decor. Sturdy mesh. Just a bit more difficult to take down and put up than other gates. I am very pleased with the gate overall.

Worked Great For My Needs November 23, 2008
This product worked great for my needs. It is not as hard to put up and take down as some had said. Actually it is quite easy.
It's a 10! November 19, 2008
I recently purchased this gate, and wish I had known about it before I spent nearly $200.00 on another gate and extensions to fit a doorway of 53" that broke already! This gate is easy to assemble, VERY sturdy, and easy to move. I even traveled with this gate! The chocolate and cream color are attractive, and so is the price! If i would have found this gate earlier, i would have bought 3 or 4 of them. The only issue i can see for others would be that you must step over the gate while it is up, unless you want to take it down and put it back up again. I'm 5'3" and have absolutely no problem stepping over it. However, my husband and I are both athletic and agile. Still, the gate is only about 27" tall. If that is a problem for you, it is still a perfect gate for even a low traffic area, and great to take to grandma's or a friend's house! I highly reccomend this gate!
