Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Hands Free Gate Extension
Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT, BUT OVERPACKAGED
Summary: 5 Stars
The gate extensions work perfectly to fit the gate into a wide door, exactly what we needed! The product is great, but Amazon really overpackaged it. First of all, they shipped each extension separately in its own box from the same warehouse. Each unit (36"LX10"WX1"D)was shipped in a HUGE box (40"LX15"WX10"D), mostly filled with packing material (they could have shipped 8-10 units in one box!) C'mon Amazon, in these days of exorbitant gas prices and overflowing landfills, you need to be more mindful of your warehouse packaging. Now I have to recycle all of the huge boxes as well as packing material. Why weren't these shipped together in one appropriate box??? All I can say is I am glad that I didn't have to directly pay for shipping on those two big boxes filled a small amount of product and a lot of nothing else, but I am sure that that cost of overpackaging and overshipping is built into your overall prices.
Product recommended, Amazon deserves a slap on the hands for poor Warehouse packaging!
Customer Review: PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING THIS EXTENTION
Summary: 4 Stars
I was given this gate as a baby shower gift over a year ago and only recently had a need to use it. I love the gate and the extensions are a perfect match but the product description is very misleading. I even read another customer's review stating this exact point and re-measured twice to be certain I had the correct length. When the description reads "up to 44 inches" this includes both gate extentions, not just one. I ordered one extention only to find out it still didn't fit my upstairs hall and had to order the second one. I also had to pay for shipping twice taking my gate extention total to just over $30. The gate only cost $50. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING THIS EXTENTION so you don't pay twice for shipping.Customer Review: Great Gate
Summary: 5 Stars
This gate was very easy to install and it is extremely sturdy when installed properly. We had a larger opening for one doorway that was just on the edge of the recommended width. We added an extender and it works very well. As far as opening and closing the gate. It is very very simple and hands free. I have one gate that prevents my child from getting into the cat litter and food bowls, but because these gates are kind of tall, they also prevent the cats from getting to the same area. One of my cats has learned how to jump over the gate and the other just meows until I open the gate.Customer Review: sturdy extension
Summary: 5 Stars
This extension was purchased at the same time as the gate. Hallway is 37" wide and extension and gate fit perfectly and sound. Extension is easily attached to gate and once tension knobs are tightened this gate is secure. Since I only used one extension it forces the door of the gate to the left or right. Pick your preference and adjust the tension knobs evenly. I started at the bottom and then finished at the top. Trim boards stand no chance against this gate for the gate and extension have been well thought out to withstand the going ons of a busy house full of kids and dogs.Customer Review: Good, but measure first
Summary: 4 Stars
We really enjoy the gates, but one of them came without a set of parts, so we had to order them, which was a pain because Amazon couldn't do it for us. Also, we installed them in a hallway with irregular molding, and it was hard to install them because the height of the molding was exactly the same as the height of the gates. So for smooth walls and regular doors, they work great; if there's anything irregular about your setup, make sure to measure it first.
