Wanted a gate to keep my dogs out of my bedroom. I purchased this strictly for the easy to open and close handle. Easy to install and works perfectly!

This gate looks like a good design and solidly made but I realized midway through installation that what we were sent appears to be defective. The latch of the gate should come already installed and spring loaded - the latch piece in what we were sent it a completely separate piece and the corresponding spring is loose inside the gate mechanism. Because the mechanism is riveted closed, there is no possible way to fix this. Looking forward to hearing from Safety 1st on what the right next steps are to get a working version installed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a first time mom of an 18 month old and I have tried out many baby gates before when we first started baby proofing the house and this one from Safety 1st is one of my favorites! It has a unique color indicator feature so that you can see from far away whether the gate is actually locked or not. My husband and I were not blessed with 20/20 vision but now it's very easy to see whether the gate is actually locked with the color indicators. The other important bits to know, it's super easy to install and the material feels solid, not flimsy and it comes with extension pieces to fit doorways between ~29-38" wide. The latch is different compared to other baby gates and you may need some time to get used to it but I'm confident my toddler can't get out which is the most important thing. The only thing I'd change is I wish this gate was made in a taller size, so that the latch is at a more comfortable height for me to open/close while holding my toddler but this is a personal preference and an issue I have with most baby gates. Special thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this gate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this gate from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was so excited as we have a 5 month old who will be crawling soon as well as a 9 month old nephew who is over quite a bit! It was easy and quick to put up!! Smooth sailing there and we left it up for a bit and I realized it worked fantastic for our rambunctious dogs as well. They even jumped up and put their paws on the top and it maintained integrity and didn’t do damage to the walls or fall down. I am impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gate is exactly what I've been looking for for quite some time! I've tried multiple different gates and have ended up returning each one for different reasons (difficult installation, not study enough, etc.). Truthfully, I had low expectations when I received this gate from Stellar Product Testing Panel to try since I've had multiple poor experiences with other gates, but it has been a total game changer for our home. Installation was incredibly easy to install and requires no drilling. I also love the quick-lift handle, which allows you to open the door with one hand. This gate is perfect for keeping my little one safe, and as a parent, I couldn't ask for anything more.
