rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shellylynn13 - This is the best gate ever. So much so, we actually bought 2 of them...one for each door to the kitchen. They installed in seconds and have worked like a dream. No more stepping over gates or trying to remember to put them back up. They swing open...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coops32 - Hands free on something at least…every little bit helps! We have a new puppy and a baby so it was finally time to get some baby gates in the house! Keeping both of the little ones out of the rest of the house is extremely important at this...

Hands Free Gate: Great Gate!!

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 13:38:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branandco - This is an awesome gate. We have it between our kitchen and living room. Our 18 mos old son stands on the gate and yanks and pulls and is tough on it, but it won't budge. I don't know what other people do with their pedal to have it break, but ours...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mommieta2 - I tried to use this gate, but it was not for me!! I had a hard time putting it up!! It is a good idea for a gate, but if you have smart children, then watch out. My son figured out that if he sat on the foot release, the gate would open. He also was...

Hands Free Gate: Works well, but noisy and can damage wall

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:02:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author allnamestaken - We opted for this gate for the top of our basement stairs because it's a pressure gate with a gateway and because it's hands free which we thought would be handy for carrying laundry up and down. We actually mounted it at the end of the hallway leading...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firerant - I found one of these hands-free metal baby gates by First Years a couple of years ago at a garage sale for $10. After cleaning with some 409, the thing looked like new even though the original owner said they'd used it for 3 years. We've been using it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author navywife1994 - This is the best gate ever made!! After having 3 older boys with the wooden gates that never stay up, I'm very happy to see a gate like this with this baby. It works great on the stairs and it's hard to find something to fit the stairs. It's also...

Hands Free Gate: Hands Free Gate - A Parent Must Have

Sat, 1 Jul 2006 08:08:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author noodle0 - I bought this gate after I visited a friend who had three of them and swore I'd be happy if I bought one, so I did. My friend was right. I not only have a 20 month old son, but two dogs that I must keep gated in or out of the kitchen. It was truly a...

Mon, 3 Apr 2006 23:41:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author casepoynt - I did extensive research before making my 6th gate purchase! Throughout our house we had 5 gates, 4 different types--each serving its own distinct purpose. However, when we moved our 19 month old into his "big boy" bed (twin bed with nothing to keep...

Hands Free Gate: Foot pedal apparently improved

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 23:35:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tessalana - I can't add much to the great reviews already posted here, except to say that I purchased this gate 3 months ago, and it gets HEAVY use, and the foot pedal is working fine. Either I got lucky, or they really have improved the product. This gate is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amber12 - We got this gate when my daughter was starting to walk to put in our doorway leading to the hallway. We wanted to keep her in the living room. We have loved it!! It is wonderful! She has never been able to push the pedal to make it open and she is...

Hands Free Gate: Great pressure-mounted gate

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 11:28:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author apollard73 - I am very pleased with this gate. It is easy to install, easy to open for an adult but not a child, and doesn't mar your walls. My only complaint is the the opening is fairly narrow so at times it makes it difficult to carry things through. I still...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpaigehs - We purchased this gate for the bottom of our stairs to keep our toddler from going up the steps. It has since been moved to the doorway of my now almost 3 year old's room to make sure he does not come down the steps. This gate has accomplished above...

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 15:54:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mom2ethan - Before the baby was born we purchased lots of gates in an effort to contain our 3 mediums sized dogs. Nothing we tried held up to the challenge, so when the baby arrived I had little hope of finding anything that would meet our needs. We purchased...

Hands Free Gate: The best gate ever!

Tue, 18 May 2004 00:22:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author buffyfiore - This is the easiest gate I have ever used. I have a child that can climb any baby gate but not this one. It was a breeze to install and is the smoothest opening and closing door in my house! The only draw back is the pad for opening the door with your...

Mon, 17 May 2004 23:49:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author njshopper - We needed a gate to keep the cat out of the baby's room (no joke). I wanted something that was easy to open and close and didn't require me to use my hands. I usually have a baby in my arms when I am entering/leaving the nursery. This gate did the...

Hands Free Gate: Best customer support for a great gate (even when parts break)

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 01:22:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jhawkmama - I was going to just post this as a comment to other reviews, but was worried that folks who could use this gate would be scared off by reports of bum foot pedals. Ours did indeed break, but First Years replaced it for free with just a phone call to the...

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:30:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vein - When our son started crawling before 6 months of age, we came to that second stage first time parents go through - finding out just how much in our house is absolutely not baby-proof. While we wanted him to have as much space to explore as possible,...

Tue, 7 Oct 2003 23:27:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author insura - I thought this gate would be sturdy and provide me with piece of mind. I was very disappointed when my small child was able to put enough weight on it to open it. To me it is now useless. The advertisements are not reliable...
