Baby Products Reviews of KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate
Customer Review: Not right for all uses...
Summary: 3 Stars
We are returning this gate. Granted, it is constructed well and is very sturdy and simple enough to use. Problem is, we wanted to use this gate on our toddlers' bedroom door to keep her in at night, but obviously we wanted her to be able to come and go during the day. You can't use this gate that way, unfortunately. If adults are the only ones passing through, then you'll be fine. But if you want the gate to swing easily for a toddler, then this won't work; the gate door has to be lifted up to swing open. Even if you don't have the gate latched, you can't walk through without lifting up on the door. Bad design flaw. If not for that, this would've been the perfect gate.Customer Review: So far, so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm glad we read the reviews before we bought this gate, but wish we had measured our stairway first. The reviewer who said he had to buy the extension kit was right. We bought this gate anyway because we didn't want to mount brackets. ... The opening takes some coordination as well and seems to work easier right-handed. I give it 4 stars mainly because of having to buy the extension and it doesn't really accommodate the design of our stairway, but it is adjustable. And keep in mind the manufacturer's comment that it isn't best suited for a stairway because of it being pressure mounted. Stepping over the bottom rail is awkward too when it's on a step like ours is.Customer Review: Wide opening, open both ways, sturdy, easy to put together.
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this product to keep our labrador from the music room.
Pros:
- Wide opening, 22" no need to turn sideway.
- Low bottom bar, 1" have it for a month and yet to trip over.
- Easy installation, no drilling.
- Kid-proof lock. Not important feature to us but your toddlers definitely can't open the gate.
- Gate swings open both ways.
- Very slim profile.
- Sturdy, made of metal.
Cons
- The child-proof lock makes it difficult to close.
- Installation instruction not so easy to understand.
Conclusion: On the expensive side, worth the money.
Customer Review: Safe & sturdy but a PAIN to open!
Summary: 2 Stars
Easy to install, sturdy gate providing excellent security. However the opening mechanism is EXTREMELY unuserfriendly! You have to push a button (which is only on 1 side), pull up the handle, then pull up and hold the middle of the gate door and swing open. I can only assume the pulling up part is a sort of secondary safety to keep the gate closed even though the handle is not engaged. Guests and babysitter have a HECK of a time figuring out how to open the gate. One of my late arriving family members "forced" it open (didn't do the pull up and hold) and it came crashing down in my hardwood hallwall at 4am .... it was NOT appreciated.Customer Review: wouldn't do it again
Summary: 3 Stars
We got this for a one step down into a den. Well, this gate has a metal plate across the bottom which becaome the cause of many trips, baby included. Also, the handle mechanism actually fell open/aprt. the first time, dh just screwed it back together. It did it a total of 4 times before we just took it down. THe opening is VERY NARROW. I have many scratches and bruises on hip from that gate. DH too. If you are REALLY skinny with no dh, okay, maybe. Also, when walking through, when you turn to close and push down, sometimes the plastic didn't go under the red tab, totally defeating the purpose of the gate
