Baby Products Reviews of KidCo Configure Gate
Customer Review: 5 Years and Still Solid
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had the basic gate setup for over 5 years now and it is holding up beautifully. Our only want for it during that time has been an automatic closing mechanism. Bungee cords will work, but are less than ideal for that since they are a tad unsightly and somebody still needs to latch it. Aside from that lone issue however, nothing has become loose, noticeably worn, or broken in that time. It has stood up well to thousands of open-close cycles and has been terrific for controlling access for our dogs, as well as for corralling our now 4 year old son who has been able to open it since he was about 3.
This has been an outstanding value for us and I would definitely choose it again.
Customer Review: Yes, it is worth it.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great gate for making any area off-limits to babies and toddlers. It is especially good for low-traffic areas, such as surrounding a fireplace. If using it in a higher-traffic area, be aware that there is a small base that you will need to step over (you can see what I mean in the picture). The three segments plus optional extra segments can be positioned to fit any angle imaginable. The gate itself is very easy to use, but not so easy that your little ones will be able to open it on their own. Not only is it easy to install, but it is also easy to take down and reinstall if necessary. I've tried the cheaper models, and it is worth paying a little more to get this one.Customer Review: Great gate for moms with kids of various ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this gate. I started with the Soft & Wide gate and it was a dud for us. The problem was that my 2 older children would have to climb over it. Every time my 7 year old attempted it, she would make the gate pop out of place. And my 3 year old had a hard time getting over it by himself. If that wasn't bad enough, my 1 year old twins discovered that they could hang on the middle of the gate and it would pop out of place.So, then I decided to fork over the money for this gate. It is absolutely wonderful and worth EVERY penny for the peace of mind it gives me. My twins have not been able to budge it. And, even better, my two older children can open it by themselves.
Customer Review: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Summary: 3 Stars
This gate is great if you want to section off a large opening or area. We have triplets and they have been kept out of harms way for quite a while with this gate.
They are 17 mos. now and one of my daughters has figured out how to open the gate. I don't know how she has the strength but she has watched us open and close the gate enough to try it herself. Well, she figured it out and now I have to try and figure out a secondary way to keep the gate closed.
There should be some other type of lock that can be used in addition to the pressure lock that it comes with.
All in all, if your kids don't learn to open the gate - it is very good.
Customer Review: Great Gate
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great gate. We were looking for a gate to go around our fireplace as soon as our son started to crawl. We researched numerous gates and found this one to be the best. It is fairly easy to install and is very sturdy. It is very easy to open the gate. We had to buy the 24 inch extension to add to the gate and this was easy to install as well. What I really liked about this was the fact the mounting for the gate is set up a little higher on the wall. This makes is much easier to install as you dont have to worry about the baseboards. We have two other gates on our stairs and in each of these you had to deal with the baseboard because of the low mounts.
