Review on Extra Wide Baby Gate For House, Easy Walk Thru Dog Gate With Auto Close Safety Pet Gates For Stairs And Doorways, Cumbor 29.5"-51.6" Includes 4 Wall Cups - Mom'S Choice Awards Winner Brown by Giovanni Bedjohn

This baby gate is very sturdy. I'm on the top floor of my apartment and this keeps both my 8 month old and 4 year old unable to leave the living area to get access to the stairs. Along with my 1 year old nephew when he visits. Basically none of them have been able to figure it out. Not even my 4 year old and hes very smart, but nope. He tries but not happening. I had to use one extension and it works perfectly. One thing I will say is after a month the door started getting stuck. It needed lubricant extremely fast! So bad that it wouldnt even budge when trying to swing the door open. So stuck that both me and my sister nearly flipped over the gate instead XD. And let me tell you; if you fall over the gate; have fun falling on the other side because that gate aint budging nowhere. I do give a lot of that credit to ordering the wall nanny baby gate wall protector! I've never tried the gate without them but I know for fact its made the baby gate way more sturdy and unable to budge than without them. Its almost as sturdy as if it were screwed right into the wall. You need to order the wall nanny to get the best result possible so the baby gate doesnt budge even from the weight of a full grown adult. I swear I flipped right over the darned thing XD. Very impressive. Buy that in combination of a lubricant and you're golden. Id suggest the wd-40 gel lubricant. Baby gate door swings open like butter now. I will say that I never install baby gates at my stairs with the babies no matter how secure or safe the gate seems. If anything were to happen or malfunction one day I rather it not be at the top of the stairs! Id highly suggest putting it elsewhere to block access to the stairs for the babies. That way if and when it ever were to fail no ones going downstairs and you have time to react/ fix said issue.
