Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little unsure about whether or not this gate would be worth the slightly higher price, but I'm really glad that I got it. My daughter's bedroom door sticks in the summer and I have to slam my body against it to open it and when I'm laying her down for a nap, that's just not practical. I wanted to be able to leave her door open but I didn't want our cat to be able to get into her room so I needed a gate tall enough to keep her out. Our cat gets into a lot of things and loves to be where she's not supposed to be. This gate is perfect. Right after putting it up (which only took about 5-10 minutes) she went over to the gate and tried to figure out how she could get by and gave up after a few tries. She can't fit between the bars and she definitely isn't even trying to jump over it. She jumps up onto our kitchen counters all the time, so I was worried, but I guess because its such a long drop on the other side, she's afraid to try.

We've been using this gate for about a month and its working out great. I love it! Definitely worth the money.

I know some people complained about the width of the opening on this gate. I don't mind it too much. It is almost exactly the width of my laundry basket, so its a little awkward bringing the clean clothes into my daughter's room, but that's the only time that the width really bothers me, and I can just lift the basket over the gate. My only complaint really is that sometimes I get agitated by the swing close feature. Like when I'm trying to lug my canister vac into the room, the gate keeps slamming into me. But I really think the pros outweigh the cons. I think I will probably get another one of these gates when my daughter is a little older for the stairs and I might even get the extra wide version for the kitchen.
