THE GATE
...

Pros: Not many if any
Cons: Comes apart easily if you're not careful & my 2 1/2yo figured it out

This gate is ok, if you're using it as a spare while traveling and such, but too many cons for me to honestly recommend it.

The main pro is that it stays put. However there is a con to that because you do have to tighten it so much that it...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Cheap.

I bought this safety gate when my son was about 10 months old. We live in a small apartment that has no stairs, so I figured a cheap safety gate would keep him out of trouble. It did for a while, but then he figured out how to climb over it. Also, ...

Pros: Probably fits some doorways in some people's houses . . .
Cons: Many.

This gate was a waste of money, if just a little bit of money. In theory, you can pull the gate apart to widen it, but in order to shorten it, you have to lift the locking mechanism. The lock falls into place every half-inch. In practice, well . . ....

Pros: This gate does serve its purpose of keeping little ones out of a room.
Cons: I have gone through 3 of them because they all fell apart.

This gate is great to block the kids from entering or exiting a room and stairs.

It has a wood frame with plastic inside and 4 metal brackets which bend and come loose easily. It has rubber pieces attached to the sides of the wood frame which...

Pros: cheap and is light weight
Cons: isn't strong enough to stay in play, can come off its track.

Why did I buy this gate? The price. I was looking for a gate that was lightweight and easy to use.

The Gate....
It's made of real wood, has plastic stoppers at the end to grip itself into the doorways. It stands 24" tall and expands from 26" to 42" wide. Is used for ages 6 months to 24 months. Has a plastic mesh that is criss-crossed closely enough to not things through the holes.

My problems...

The stoppers don't grip hard enough to the walls. So if your toddler decides to lean on it, it can slip causing your child to fall with it. It CONSTANTLY comes off the track if you arn't careful undoing the gate.

Pros...
Light weight and cheap.
