Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate

Pros: sturdy once in place -kinda!
Cons: Not fun to lock into place= not good in a high traffic area

Baby on the move... This spring my "baby" went from hardly moving forward to "Whoa baby slow down!" Meanwhile of course he is looking less and less like a baby and looking more and more like a little boy/toddler. Our house is a tri-level plus ...

Pros: Both pressure/hardware mounting options, moderate price, one-handed operation, frosted panels
Cons: You don't have a clear view of the other side, difficult to adjust length

Seeing that I used to teach higher level mathematics, I have a pretty good grasp of how equations work. This includes the equation: baby stairs = bad. Now, this problem never bothered me before because I was missing a crucial part of the equation – ...

Pros: Easy to use handle. Locks in place well, even on uneven walls.
Cons: Must be lifted/moved. Gets in the way of children allowed to have house access.

Our home now has four gates. We have two of these, the Safety First Perfect Fit Gate. Not a Gate? Though this gate does come with optional hinges it seems to me, from observing other households, that most people do not use them. The fact ...

Pros: easy set-up, pressure mount, fits uneven spaces, lightweight, inexpensive
Cons: not the strongest or highest barrier

When Kid began to crawl and explore more around our house, we made the necessary trip to Babies R’ Us to purchase some safety gates. We wanted to keep the hardware mounted gates to a minimum, and one of the gates we picked up for this purpose was the ...

Pros: pretty, cost, sturdy & strong
Cons: none

When it came time to buy a safety gate for the bottom of our staircase, my husband recommended the Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate. I have to admit, I wasn't very picky... I figured that if it would work at the bottom of our staircase and was the right ...

Pros: Cost, function, reputation, light weight and easy to travel.
Cons: none

As any family with a curious infant or toddler knows, there are some areas of the house that you just can't childproof.  That's where the Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate comes in.  As our daughter began crawling, then walking, then running, and ...

Pros: Super durable, good for pets, sturdy
Cons: Minor wall damage, tricky locking mechanism

We purchased 2 of these gates to keep our dogs on our main level. The advertise one handed use and it is pretty much one handed if you have something not super important (like a baby!) in your other hand. If you are using this in the same place all the ...

Pros: It's better than no gate on your stairs.
Cons: Made cheaply, keeps coming off wall.

Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate is not the answer for your gate needs. When my son started crawling we soon realized that we were going to need to install safety gates on the stairs. We needed a safety gate for the bottom of the stairs and one for the top. ...

Pros: great price, works anywhere
Cons: screw holes, older people may not be able to open

Because the "contact" side of this gate can be adjusted in two indepenent spots you are able to install this gate in a location where you lack two parallel surfraces. At first, this may appear a head scratcher. Think OLD HOUSE. Walls shift, floors ...

Pros: secure, clean and simple design, easy to move and put back
Cons: works only with one irregular-sided surface

I needed a gate I could move at any time of the day and put back later. It is between a THIN iron rail, and a wall with moulding on the bottom that juts out an inch or so. A bit complex for the average gate! This one fits the bill, and at 8 mos. pregnant ...

Pros: A good, sturdy gate. We actually really like it, but...
Cons: The hinges break too easily and the warranty is only 3 months.

I gave this gate a very low rating only because I wanted you to read this review. We actually like this gate very much ... for a full list of PROS, please read the Aug. 2006 review by GATORGIRLIE. I agree with everything she said and it would be a ...

Pros: Flexible- works with or without hinges. Solid plastic panels rather than slats.
Cons: Weak plastic hinges, sloppy spacing mechanism.

We got this gate to close off the top of our basement stairs. We also needed a gate in which I could cut a hole to let out cat get down to its litter box. I'm not advocating anyone else alter the gate's structure, but let's face it, there are times when ...
