It was a struggle to find the right baby gate for the bottom of our stairs, but I’m super glad we came across this one. We wanted a pressure mount gate for the bottom of our stairs, had to be adjustable to different widths at the top and bottom since our stairs have a trim along the bottom edge. So many other gates have complaints on easiness to install, etc. but this gate was great.
My reasons for liking it so much are:
-Like I mentioned, the top and bottom of the gate can be extended to different widths if you have trim you’re fitting it against.
-Super easy to work one handed, I’ve been able to open it over and over again while holding a squirmy baby in one arm just fine.
-Love that the gate can be opened wide enough to stay in the open position.
-We installed the adhesive wall cups for base of stairs (didn’t screw them in but we would have at the top of the stairs, I wanted a hard mounted gate without a threshold at the top of the stairs though). The wall cups are great if you plan on taking the gate down temporarily for any reason, like between babies if your child learns stairs, moving furniture, etc. but you still can easily put the gate back in the exact same spot.
-SO easy to install compared to other gates. We used the adhesive on the wall cups which I like, I’m sure there will be some damage to paint when we remove them but we plan on having more kids and will use the gate on and off for years, so I don’t mind. I’ve heard adhesive to paint can be removed a little easier with a hair dryer, but I haven’t tried it yet.
-The installation guide to get the right width is SO EASY compared to other gates, ours fits wonderfully with the first attempt.
Super strong, easy to open, easy to install, well built gate that we’re glad to have found.
