Easy to install, easy to use, easy on the eyes,
I just installed one of these gates and it was a snap. The gate comes with a template you tape up to show where to drill (you will want a power drill) so there’s no measuring anxiety. If you have molding there are spacers to even out the hinges or brackets. In my case, I live in an old house with relatively non-square angels to just about everything. The spacers provided turned a potential disaster into five minutes of tinkering.
The gate itself has a handle that can be opened using only one hand (very important for when you carry baby). The gate can also be taken off its hinge mounting very easily by a latch located on the inner (hinge) edge of the gate. I suspect this will be nice for when folks come over. Finally, it doesn’t look like a baby penitentiary due to the soft curves of the plastic and the clear window. This is a functional, simple and attractive gate and I give it five stars. My son would give it one star for it thwarts all his little efforts at elicit exploration.

|Great ….till it loses tension,
I purchased 2 of these gates a couple of months ago. I planned to use them pressure mounted. At first they worked great & I loved the fact that you could see thru them, but already one of them lost tension so now it doesn’t fit tight in the doorway. I’m contacting the first years customer svc today & will let you know how I make out.
****4/19/05 Good customer service. All I have to do is break the handle off the gate & mail it back to them and they’ll send a new gate.

|NO PROBLEMS IN 2 YEARS!!!,
We bought this gate after having a pressure mounted gate, that you have to step over. It is currently between the dining room and kitchen doorways. The first gate we had you had to step over, a close friend tried to step over it, and fell and almost smashed her face on our oven! That night her and I went to Babies R Us, and found this gate. We had a blast putting it up, trying to create our own directions, but once it was up, it was great! It has been properly functioning, my handle has NEVER broken, it’s never fallen, or closed improperly. We are about to purchase a new home with steep stairs, we are going to buy two more of these gates today!! I’ve had this gate for 2 years now, my only problem was the finger prints and smudgy face prints from my son, and the best way I have found to keep it looking brand new (STILL)is to use Windex Multi Surface (the green one) it keeps the plexi-glass clean, and keeps the gate clean too! I would hands down recommend this gate to anyone and everyone I come into contact with! We even have baseboards, and I like the fact that the gate goes over them, and that makes it that much more difficult for my son to attempt to stand or swing on it (which has never happened no matter how hard he’s tried!)
I love this gate!!! I love it!
