Toddleroo by North States – Deluxe Décor Safety Gate: Extra Wide Baby Gate – Adjustable 38.3 to 72 Inches Wide – 30 Inches Tall – Taupe

This is the best baby gate!
We’ve lived in two different houses now with toddlers, and our current home has wide doorways so our old ‘compression’ style gates wouldn’t suffice. I splurged and bought this gate – and it’s one of the best baby gear purchases I’ve ever made. I actually now have purchased THREE! The latch is very simple to use one-handed, the gate is very sturdy and well made, and the entire thing can be unlatched if the full doorway is needed (when grandma visits with her walker). The gate closes so easily and relatches all by itself. It installed quickly and it won’t scratch our wood floors or leave marks in our carpeting. My favorite thing about the gate though is that it is as beautiful as it is functional. It’s a cream-white rather than a stark white, and the little arch in the gate gives it a little charm. It fits right in with the old-world charm and character of our home. Very pleased with this product!Edited to add: We’ve been using this product for almost 3 years now — 5 stars! Works as well as day one. 🙂

ADD RUBBER GRIP PADS, Durable, beautiful, simple to install and use gate
Keeping this 5 stars, but adding some user suggestions or even suggestions for the manufacturer too.1. ADD RUBBER GRIP PADS to the bottom of each corner of the gate where it hinges and touches the floor. Do this only if installing the gate over HARD floors. This will protect your floor from children who like to push and pull and kick the gate which causes it to move slightly back and forth and cause a nice scratch in your floor if you do not have these pads. it will add more grip and keep the gate from budging at all. I bought 1.5 inch self adhesive rubber grip pads from Walmart and I found them to be perfect size.2. If you are trying to keep a small cat or dog inside the gated area you will need to weave cardboard or some other material in and out of the bars to keep small animals from squeezing between the bars. This is almost a reason for me to remove one star, but it is such a great gate and I bought it originally for child as it is designed for anyway. Recently started fostering kittens, and up went the cardboard to keep them in kitchen till litter-box-trained.6 months and still going strong. Fantastic product.—————————————————————————————————original review as follows:Super easy to mount and to use. Look no further, unless you utterly refuse to drill a few holes (10 total).I have only had the gate for a week or less, but I’m convinced it’s the best I have ever used and seen. There is no assembly required other than mounting the gate and making some minor adjustments by loosening and re tightening a screw or two.Only suggestion I might have is to mount the bracket that touches the floor, then put the gate on that mount, next clip the mount that goes on the upper corner then mark on the wall where you want it. This will be easier than the included paper mounting guides and it will allow you to make the gate super snug if so desired. This will also allow you to account for any potential imperfections in your floor…. or just use the included guides, whatever makes most sense to you.TIP 2: if you put this gate between a kitchen and carpeted area, I suggest putting the gate on the kitchen side so that if your children take food to the gated limit they will get messes on the hard floor and not the carpet.

Does the trick
The plastic bracket that you screw to the wall is not as strong as it should be. I drove a screw head completely through it. I wish it came with extra brackets or stronger brackets.
