Center Gateway

Was not pleased with this gate at all. Was not sturdy and secure in the doorway. Was even worse when we tried adding extensions. Was difficult to assemble and we had to pay to ship it back to step ahead. Love shopping through one step ahead but was not pleased at all with this gate or the fees to return it. Would not recommend this to anyone because it seems to be a saftey hazord. Did not compare to our first years gate at all.

After purchasing and returning cheaper gates at a local baby store, we ordered this gate. We LOVE it. It's design is easy to use (push a button and lift the lock up then open the gate in either direction) and it's attractive and blends nicely with the decor of our house. Added bonus: it's pressure mounted so we didn't have to drill into the walls of our centuries old farmhouse. Also, very sturdy construction; we have it mounted in a high traffic area and it is holding up just fine. I'm sure we'll get years of use out of this (good for pets after baby is older) We are very pleased with this gate and are planning on buying a few more soon!

I have used this through many children. It is so sturdy when put up right. But it is very heavy, so if it's not tight it could fall and really hurt a child, but I've never have had this happen in the 10 years I've used this gate!

We loved that this gate came in black because it matches our stair pickets and deck picket and handrail. We have 5 of these gates and use them for the top and bottom of the stairs.

All of our friends with kids ask us where we got them--so many people love how they look. It is great b/c it is still a baby gate but not an eye sore in your house.

Another plus: Our son is 15 months old and has not figured out how to open this gate.

We installed these gates at top and bottom of stairs. Works great and easy to use.

We bought two of these, one for the top and one for the bottom because we liked that we could add the Y spindles for our iron railing. Because the bottom of the gate is not flush with the ground, you have to step over it, which makes me nervous at the top of the stairs, and is just downright not usable for the bottom (since we would have to step over that step completely). I'm returning them both along with the Y spindles.

We used this at the top of our stairs. Wow, I feel much better with this gate. The gate is strong, yet my 5 year-old kids can open and close it, and the gate makes a loud click to let you know it is closed. You do have to step over a small bar. But that is insignificant to how nice this gate is. We had some trouble putting it together since there were very little directions. I am considering buying a second one for the bottom of the stairs.

It was frustrating to read on the box that it was not for toddlers and not recommended to be installed at top of stairway. Would not have ordered if that info had been included in the item description.

The button that releases the handle was quickly stripped when user forgot to push it before lifting handle. It can no longer be locked.

Works great! Used it on the bottom of my stairs for my eight month old who was already climbing up the stairs. Easy to use; especially my other two children are able to open and close without difficulty.

This gate was easy to install. I did it in very little time. My 4 year old is able to open and close it easily and shows everyone else how to do it. We liked it so much we ordered another one for the top of the stairs!!

The website mentions utilizing this gate for stairs, in fact, you can purchase "Y -Spindles" to attach this gate to Stairway spindles. However, I would not recommend this gate for stairway use because the frame of the gate remains on the stairs when the gate door is open creating a trip hazard. This is not something you want to worry about when you are carrying your child up the stairs. If you are going to use this gate to close off a room, I would definitely recommend the gate as it looks nice, is easy to install and is constructed well.

Helps contain my children and keep them
out of what they should not be in!

We use the gates on our stairs. The Y-attachment for spindles was the reason I chose this gate. It works perfectly on our stairs.

good product to protect from the basement stairs. sturdy with 4 extensions on total. certainly sturdy enough for crawler/cruiser. haven't tested it with toddler.

The gate with the added extensions is doing a great job at keeping our 8 month twin girls in the family room. Easy for mom and dad to open or step over (if you're tall enough.)
