Baby Products Reviews of KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate
Customer Review: Great for four-legged babies too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this gate to put in our hallway to keep my doggy corralled. It was easy to install, it looks great, and it is easy to use. I did have to purchase an extension as well. This gate replaces an old one that did not have a walk-through mechanism. I appreciate the walkthrough because the old gate was hard to hop over (I'm short), and I had to take the old one down when my daddy came to visit because he has a bad hip and was also unable to continually "hop". My dog seems to like the new gate. He is always alert and likes to watch what is going on down the hallway, and with this gate he has a better view. Also, the bars are spaced tightly enough that I don't worry about his head getting stuck in the bars. He is a Pomeranian/schipperke mix, so I searched extensively before purchasing this gate to be sure the bars were not far enough apart for him to get stuck. This gate looks nice and is not gaudy like some of the plastic ones I have seen. It appears to be sturdy as well.Customer Review: Advise people how to use when in your home!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fantastic gate, however people who do not live with you are not familiar with locking mechanism & if used wrong will break. There is a button on far side of gate lever which has to be pressed in order to open lever properly, opening gate. If this button is not pressed & someone just pulls up on lever, they break one of the safety features of this gate. This button prevents children from eventually learning how to open gate. Once button is broken, gate is still operational, but just have to hope child doesn't figure out down the road how to lift lever on their own -- no button safety feature anymore.
****Note: Even though you have advised people how to use the gate -- the button being hidden on far side, people forget it's there when going up the steps & tend to just do what's natural & pull up on lever w/o pushing that button. I suggest to maybe mark top of lever with perm. marker to push button first. Lever is wide enough to do that.
Customer Review: Perfect for our family
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife bought another gate at a kid's store that we had to return because we couldn't mount it at the top of our stairs because of the set-up. We have a modern style, thin rail at the top which is not compatible with most gates.
This gate worked perfectly with the use of the Kidco Y Spindle. We also had to use a Kidco 5.5" extension kit. I have to say that this gate has exceeded our expectations. The assembly was very easy, took me about 10 minutes.
The use is simple yet effective. It is very easy, for an adult, to open, yet keeps our 15 month old safe on the other side. It also has a nice feature that doesn't allow the door to open when it is closed but not locked. This is a good feature in case you accidently do not lock it properly.
We've had this product for about 1 month now and are extremely satisfied. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sturdy safety gate that is easy to open and close.
Customer Review: A little confusing at first
Summary: 4 Stars
My chief complaint is the lack of instructions; they do exist, they are just poor and incomplete. The interconnections for the extensions are not shown or explained, so it led to a lot of confusion when installing. Once I understood the mechanics, it went together fine.
After assembly, I have to admit, this is my favorite gate so far. It is very sturdy and durable. The handle can be difficult to open sometimes, but that is what you want for when kids try to open it. The door is hinged to open both in and out, so you don't have to think about which way to swing the door. It requires you to lift the gate as well, but kids tend to just bend the gate until it pops out of the lower position. This may be an issue over time, but so far it hasn't been.
All said and done, this is a great product once you get your engineering degree to figure out. With improved instructions, this could be a 5/5 star review.
Customer Review: Grandmother of active 21 month old
Summary: 5 Stars
We had a tricky place in the kitchen that needed a gate that was both sturdy but easy to get through. This one has been perfect. Our grandson started walking at 9 months and needed to be protected from the basement stairs. The only place we could install a gate was fairly wide and wouldn't accomodate any kind of permanent fasteners. I bought this gate along with a 5" extention piece and it's been doing it's job for over a year now. The gate gets opened and closed at least 10 times every day. Although my grandson has watched us open it and knows the sequence, it's too hard for him to do. My main worry about the gate was the fact that it would keep our cats and their litter boxes seperated. As it turned out, all 3 of the cats can easily jump over the gate so that has been a non-issue. I highly recommend this gate to anyone who needs a sturdy, walk-through type gate that can be installed without holes.
