Missing size between 49"-59" - California Surf Boy - Austin, TX
The gate states it can fit between sizes 38-53" and uses extensions. Unfortunately you open the gate and find it does not fit the gap between 49"-59" which my measurement was 53" leaving me high and dry. This was a common problem on some of the other baby gates / pet gates. Also the end pieces were missing the rubber stopper on 3 of the 4 ends and the frame was bent inwards so the door was having issues which was more of a shipping issue then the product itself.
Great, buy it, search ends here - Starchild 65 - Rockford, mi United States
Spent hours grueling over which gate to get for our new puppy. Spent a little more money than we wanted too, but we are glad we did! This gate is sturdy and strong, holds our little 30 pound puppy back with no problems even when runs full throttle and jumps up on it. Very easy to install, and the opening gate swings both ways and is a fantastic feature that a lot of gates do not have.
Basically stop searching, pony up the extra cash for this gate, you will be happy with your purchase.

Perfect for keeping toddlers off the stairs! - Donald Courtright - Valparaiso, IN
I ordered this gate a few months ago and it has been a life saver! My one year old is so curious about the stairs that she always wants to be on them but the gate keeps her from them. She pulls on it and pushes it and it will not budge, it feels strong and secure. On the otherhand, my three year old is confident on the stairs and the latch is easy enough for him to open and close if he needs to. We love it and would use it over a tension gate any day, especially at the stairs. It give me piece of mind when I have to take my eyes off the kids for a sec.
Highly Recommend - World Traveler - Tempe, AZ
Purchased two of these to stop the dogs from going up and down stairs. They were very easy to install (from a wall to a banister). They look very nice and don't make our home look like a jail of plastic. They are very easy to use. I was concerned that it would be difficult to open the gate on the stairs, but they are easy to operate with one hand. They are even easier to close. I recommend these gates over any other.

Great Product....HORRIBLE Company! - Krystal Colon -
"DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! I purchased a gate for (shipping and everything) and was the wrong size. I wanted to exchange it for the next size up, but was told that I would have to pay the original price, a 15% restocking fee and pay to ship it back. All of this would cost more than the gate itself. The rep. was very rude and unwilling to satisfy a devoted customer. Never again."
Not much of an extention - SOGWAP - Somewhere in the USA
I have to admit that this is a good quality as are their gates, but they don't give you much in the way of extention unless you only have to fill just an inch to maybe two and a half. The price was not great for what you get. There are only two bars and it leaves a big gap (my guess is if you have 40 or more inches). I measured my space and it's 42 inches. It should have been fine, but it leaves a big enough gap to fit a small dog. Their manual says 37 1/4"-42 3/4" - One extension kit / 42 5/8"-48 1/8" - Two extension kits. There's no reason why I should have a gap as big as I do, but I do. Also the tension rod doesn't work as well with the extention, as the tension rod with the gate alone. In summary, their extension recommendation measurements are not really that accurate and with this extention, the tension is not that sturdy especially when the gate is left open. In that position, it seems that the tension rod could easily slide off the wall. You can't really make it much tighter. If you want to spend the extra I would get two if your space is more than 40 inches. That will most likely also make the tension tighter. I gave it three stars for quality because it is heavy duty and good quality. They might need to be a bit more accurate about measurements or maybe add an extra rod for the measurements they give.

Great Gate Accessory! - Alexia Davie - Houston, TX
We didn't want to put holes in the wall to install a gate and we have round banisters at the stairs. These were a great solution. The pressure mounted gate fits perfectly between the wall and the banister.

BEWARE -- Gate has serious flaws - Daddy of Twins - Simi Valley, CA
To whomever might be considering purchasing this gate, beware it has several fairly significant design flaws.
We originally purchased this gate because it was one of the few that had approved extensions that could span the top of our staircase.
However, after taking the time to unpack and install it, it has several serious flaws.
1) The device assumes you have no moulding at the baseboards (except potentially 1/4" shoe moulding. To be stable, it requires the use of a plastic 'foot' stablizer, that helps anchor the hinge side of the gate. If you have moulding, you'd either have to screw the mounts directly through the moulding (which ruins the moulding), or attempt to level the gate above the moulding. Unfortunately, this results in the gate not being able to use the stablizer foot, and results in a gate that sways excessively (again, I needed something with multiple extensions).
2) The opening for the gate is very, very small.
3) 1 side of the gate (the side that swings) mounts directly to the wall. This is a problem if you're even a fraction of an inch off with the included paper templates to guide where to mount the brackets.
I don't know how the merchant is going to be when I attempt to return this useless gate...so my comments (for
Great gate- bad packaging - Norman Clark - New York
This is a great product and well made. Unfortunately it arrived without instructions. So I printed them from the KidCo website. That's when I realized pieces were missing. I returned the gate and received another one within a week. This time the template for aligning the screws was not included. Fortunately I figured it out. The gate works well and looks clean and functional.
I would suggest that KidCo pay more attention to what is in the box.

The First Years Hands Free Gate Review
 |
| The convenient foot pedal is easy for adults, but difficult for children, to open. |
 |
| Adjustable pressure mounts don’t require screws and won’t mark up your walls. |
Before you buy, there are two things to be aware of. One, the actual opening for parents, kids, and/or pets to walk through is only about 18 inches wide. Two, if you want to use this in a doorway and be able to close the door, the foot pedal sticks out too far to allow this. For use with children up to 24 months.
Rarely does a mom or dad make it through a day without thinking they could use an extra set of hands. So First Years designed the next best thing -- a safety gate that doesn't require any hands at all! But even though it's simple for an adult to just press on the pedal and walk through, it's too difficult for a baby. The gate fits all standard doorways 29" to 34" wide, and, with use of the Gate Extension Kit (sold separately) will also fit other openings up to 44" wide. The pressure-mounted design won't damage walls or doorways. An audible click lets you know the gate has locked.

Gate broke after 6 weeks, video review on breakage - A. Schroeder - Cave Creek, AZ United States
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R38Z3KZ0W3CSS0 One caveat to my 2 star review: I purchased this as a dog gate, and not a baby gate. Though I do have two small children (3 and 6, out of the baby gate stage), perhaps it was not used as intended, and maybe they were too rough on the gate trying to open it? It's basically impossible for anyone under 6 to operate this because they aren't heavy enough to push on the pedal. Even for adults, you have to push pretty hard to pop the gate mechanism open.
That being said, the gate broke after just 2 months of use and you can see on my video review exactly where the gate broke. I started recording the video when the gate began coming apart, and by the end of the review it was totally broken/separated. I had several gates when my children were babies a few years ago, and this was my *least* favorite of all of them.
Very well made, allows for you to carry items. - Kristine M. Hanson - long beach, california United States
I LOVE this gate. The quality is far beyond what I had expected, and the foot pedal allows for me to hold a baby, bottle, and anything else in my arms while I open.
