Hey bargain seekers! I just spent a week with my son and his family. They have a new baby and a two story home so they use an old style baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. How do I feel about their baby gate? It's a death trap. My wife came down the stairs one night with the lights out and nearly fell head over heels across the gate. It's one of those old school gates and it truly sucks. I tried to carry some luggage upstairs and ended up climbing over the gate and nearly killed myself.
Now there is a solution which is found in the far superior Regalo Easy Step Walk Thru Gate! This gate is hands down the best pressure mounted baby gate that money can buy.
The video shows how the gate is wedged securely between two walls and the pressure is maintained by two adjustable screw clamps at the top. The gate can span an opening between 29inches to 39 inches.
Now unlike most torturous gates this remarkable product actually has a swinging open gate that you can walk through as opposed to over or under. Imagine the ability to open the gate and pass through without having to disengage the whole unit from the wall. This is undoubtedly one of the most unique and helpful features I have ever seen on a baby gate.
No more falling over in the middle of the night. No more having to pretend you are an Olympic high hurdler. No more endangering yourself or your baby with an outdated expanding gate.
If you are looking for the very best pressure mounted gate then you just found it.
I give the video reviewer high kudos for mentioning a couple of things that could have been improved in the design but let's get real here...this gate sells for $32 and it is still a huge value at that price.
Do you need a gate for the baby or the dog? This is the ticket!
