Regalo Heritage and Home Wooden Extra Wide Stairway and Hallway Walk Through Baby Safety Gate with Mounting Kit

Great and got here faster than expected! I am using this for my kitchen door to avoid my pups from escaping! I recommend it! The instructions are not super clear but after watching a video it was easy to assemble.

ITEM: Regalo 2-in-1 Extra Wide Stairway and Hallway Walk ThroughBaby Safety Gate (Metal)COMMENTS: I am using this at the bottom of my stairs to prevent pets from going up - please keep this in mind that this is the only function I have in mind in this review.PROS:- This gate function is amazing, it’s a lift in/out style just like I remember when I was a kid and SO much better than all the over-engineered safety ones that are impossible to get open. There is still is a thumb latch, but it’s possible to install it without.- All of the contact points are adjustable, so if you’re like me and have uneven walls/baseboards/etc you can still mount it perfectly.- Absolutely no sound, resistance, or other function issues.- It’s metal and you can purchase installation kits! This is fantastic in the light of throwaway culture.- It’s one of the best gates and the lowest price. It’s honestly a win all around.NEUTRALS:- I purchased a used one examined by Amazon and it was missing a piece. I’m currently working with Regalo customer service and they’re being quite helpful. Will update if there’s any issue with it. As it stands, because the piece was one of the stops and not necessary for me, I installed and am still beyond pleased.CONS:- None!GIFTABILITY: (All of my packages are sent with Prime Delivery Day and manufacturer’s packaging preference selected. This may impact how things are shipped and cause my packaging experience to differ from yours.) It came shipped in the manufacturer’s packaging (a cardboard box); which was branded in black print. I would recommend not directly gifting it unless you’re not concerned about the surprise being disrupted.WOULD I PURCHASE? (This is a holdover from my Vine reviews, I actually purchased this directly, but figured I’d include it anyway - any prices noted are as of the time of writing): Yes, and absolutely will again if I need another! With a list price of $39.99 (currently marked down to $34.98), you can stop your search here. It’s hands down the best between price and function.My rating system is: 5 = no/minimal complaints, very pleased 4 = minor complaints, overall satisfied, but could be better 3 = notable complaints, overall average to ‘meh’ 2 = significant complaints, unhappy and will not keep/use 1 = entirely complaints, misleading descriptions, straight to the trash product.

Had to find a gate that would fit top of the stairs, and connect to a newel post on each side. Surprisingly, there are few options out there for this (although plenty of 'adaptor' kits for other models, which practically doubles the price).Pros:- Very sturdy. Once put up and you tighten the straps to the posts, it can slide a bit (~1/4 inch), but it will NOT let go. I can push/pull this as hard as I want and it won't let go, so I'm 100% comfortable that my 1.5 year old crazy dude won't be able to rip it down.- Easy assembly. Instructions are clear, took about 20 minutes start to end to put up. Getting the little rubber corners underneath the straps was a bit tricky, but other than that, super simple.Cons:- Use of plastic. There are 2 very small plastic clips that surround the peg that goes into the hole at the top to secure the gate (presumably to aid in docking the peg to the hole). One broke off within 48 hours of having it up, but I see very little reason for their existence anyway. A couple of other posters mentioned this as well. No idea why you would craft this entire thing out of sturdy metal and then just toss these plastics clips on it. Doesn't make sense, but again, does not seem to affect the integrity of the gate.- Price. For what it is, it's a little on the high side, but not outrageous. I could be affected/biased by the fact that I have 3 other perfectly good gates that I couldn't use for the top of the stairs though. That said, if you need a gate for top of stairs, this is a very good one, and the price is ultimately comparable to similar stair specific models.- Operation. Definitely NOT a one handed operation to close. The easiest way is to use one hand to raise the whole gate up, then use the other hand to guide the pegs (top and bottom) into the holes. You 'can' do it one handed, but it's pretty difficult, and frankly not worth the effort. You can open easily with one hand however.Overall:Definitely would recommend this. Very solid gate, does exactly what it's supposed to (and needs to) do.In fact, I am going through research now for the bottom of the stairs, and will very likely land on this one again since it's so easy to put up and is secure.

I'm not sure why people are complaining so much- took me about an hour and a half to install, very very sturdy, looks nice, affordable and safe! I chose this top of the stairs gate because it was the right height and width. Make sure you measure the space and height you need before ordering any gate and then complaining about it. Love the flexibility with adjusting the width and that it comes with extra latches so you can install the gate to swing and latch inward or outward. 10/10! Thanks for helping me keep my toddler safe!

The Height of this gate goes up to around belly button height for me, I’m 5 foot 1 inch.The size is perfect for the stair case and will fit in most stairway areas.It works great for dog protection both on the stairs and for protecting baby.The dogs can’t slip under or through this gate and it is very durable and safe.The latch functionality is good but takes a little to get used to.There’s a little latch the gate goes under and you have to lift the gate and make sure it goes under that specific part to lock and unlock.Definitely worth the value for the money you pay for this gate.It’s a very strong and reliable gate and I feel very comfortable and safe having my baby upstairs with the gate now because it drills into the wall and is extremely durable.
