Pros: Tough design
Cons: Almost too tough, hard to tighten
Summary: The Evenfo Extra-Wide Soft Gate is designed to put up a barrier in between rooms so that you can corral your children or even your pets. I think it does an okay job, but there are some design flaws that I will discuss in this review. My ... read more

Pros: easy assembly, very strong pressure mount, washable, easy to store, soft but strong mesh
Cons: hard to install, not easy to use in varying spaces, thin padding over steel frame

Pros: Worth every penny we spent on it. Easy to step over.
Cons: Takes time to fit to your needed size.

Pros: Ease of assembly, disassembly, storage, and travel; stretches to fit large openings.
Cons: Minor wall damage if tension too high; not good for stairs; hard to climb over.

Pros: EVERYTHING, the Perfect Gate
Cons: Hard to Find!

Cons: adults have to straddle and climb the gate or take it down to pass through

Pros: fits extra wide spaces, no hardware, doesn't look like prison bars
Cons: none

Pros: Very handy gate for escape artists
Cons: Not good for keeping dogs in

Pros: soft material
Cons: Easily escapable
Summary: The major reason I had bought this was that the material is soft and there wouldn't be any hand/foot holds for kids to climb, I should've thought of the ages I would be using it for. This was the most escapable gate I ever found. The sides are easily ... read more
