Regalo 2-in-1 Extra Tall Easy Swing Stairway and Hallway Walk Through Baby Gate, Black 1 Count (Pack of 1) (40.5" W x 36" H)

Outstanding and perfect for our need. This gate was simple to install and gets the job done. Has a great look that goes good with any design. Reaches almost to the top of our railings, which is important for safety.The feel is sturdy, it's simple to operate and easy to correct any irregularities in fit. We had a need for an extra round post fastener and thr manufacturer sent one out to us at no charge! Outstanding product with great support. Very happy with the purchase. We own 6 different gates from this company and are very pleased with all of them.

This gate has the many attachments, that way you can install it differently to fit your needs. You can do banister to banister, wall to wall, and banister to wall. It's not pressure mounted and you can install it without drilling into your banister! I was wary buying something that has velcro straps, I thought surely it would become loose with time or I'd never get a tight install. That's not the case with this! If you zoom into my picture you may be able to see on the banister install that there's a small clip to keep the straps from coming undone. It's difficult to open and I doubt anyone under 5 years old will have the strength to get it off. With the strap install, after you've gotten the straps as tight as you can there's a little tool that you use on a small screw to give it a even tighter fit, it's just tightening it a smidge by pulling the straps. (Still no drilling) I recommend reading the instructions closely and inspect each part before starting so you can figure out your install before you begin. The install to our wall I only needed the three spacers, the metal bar, and three screws but the banister side needed quite a bit of the kit to complete. The rubber pieces that is under the the straps keeps a good grip onto the banister, that way there is no slipping or sliding down. Nothing should be loose if done correctly.We've installed two gates to prevent our baby from going up and down the stairs, however we have a autistic 3 year old the gate doesn't keep out. She will climb over it daily to get to her room and she's 35 pounds. While that isn't recommended (I honestly can't keep her from not climbing it) I can attest that the gate is very sturdy and strong, the metal hasn't bent with her weight even with her climbing on it daily. Over time I may need to tighten the straps because of her weight on it daily but the gate is just that good even with her climbing it or trying to forcibly shake it open.

Easy to set up and install. Easy for my older kids to use too. The only reason I gave 4 starts is because if you don't tighten the pieces that go into the locks enough they come lose and it's hard to close again

ITEM: Regalo 2-in-1 Extra Wide Stairway and Hallway Walk ThroughBaby Safety Gate (Metal)COMMENTS: I am using this at the bottom of my stairs to prevent pets from going up - please keep this in mind that this is the only function I have in mind in this review.PROS:- This gate function is amazing, it’s a lift in/out style just like I remember when I was a kid and SO much better than all the over-engineered safety ones that are impossible to get open. There is still is a thumb latch, but it’s possible to install it without.- All of the contact points are adjustable, so if you’re like me and have uneven walls/baseboards/etc you can still mount it perfectly.- Absolutely no sound, resistance, or other function issues.- It’s metal and you can purchase installation kits! This is fantastic in the light of throwaway culture.- It’s one of the best gates and the lowest price. It’s honestly a win all around.NEUTRALS:- I purchased a used one examined by Amazon and it was missing a piece. I’m currently working with Regalo customer service and they’re being quite helpful. Will update if there’s any issue with it. As it stands, because the piece was one of the stops and not necessary for me, I installed and am still beyond pleased.CONS:- None!GIFTABILITY: (All of my packages are sent with Prime Delivery Day and manufacturer’s packaging preference selected. This may impact how things are shipped and cause my packaging experience to differ from yours.) It came shipped in the manufacturer’s packaging (a cardboard box); which was branded in black print. I would recommend not directly gifting it unless you’re not concerned about the surprise being disrupted.WOULD I PURCHASE? (This is a holdover from my Vine reviews, I actually purchased this directly, but figured I’d include it anyway - any prices noted are as of the time of writing): Yes, and absolutely will again if I need another! With a list price of $39.99 (currently marked down to $34.98), you can stop your search here. It’s hands down the best between price and function.My rating system is: 5 = no/minimal complaints, very pleased 4 = minor complaints, overall satisfied, but could be better 3 = notable complaints, overall average to ‘meh’ 2 = significant complaints, unhappy and will not keep/use 1 = entirely complaints, misleading descriptions, straight to the trash product.
