(More customer reviews)I wanted a pressure mounted gate that would fit a 61 5/8" opening to contain my 17 month old. I have purchased and tried several different gates and I like this one the best. I have 2 and am ordering 1 more.
Setting it up was easy- took only minutes. It is not different than any other pressure mounted gate with a door. You have to tighten the bottom and then tighten the top so that you leave only a small gap where the gate closes. The gate looks slightly croocked until it is installed.
The one hand opening is a little ackward at first cause you have to push a lever back then pull the handle up but all the adults are now able to use 1 hand to open it. If the handle isn't latched when closed my daughter can open it but as long as we remember to latch it, it keeps her put and I believe it is challenging enough that it will be quite some time before she is able to physically open the gate. It does not auto latch or close so you have to be diligent about doing that but it is very secure once closed. I do have 1 gate that is auto close/lock and while my daughter hasn't pushed through it, I feel that it is a matter of time before she is able to push through it, not gonna happen with this gate.
Most wide pressure mounted gates I have encountered only allow you to add 1 extension to each side of the gate so beware that you can't endlessly extend a gate to fit any opening. This gate is no different.
The description says it will fit openings up to 58" but if you go to the Regalo website, they sell 24" extensions for $24.99 so if you get two of those you can actually fit a max opening of 82" (base gate extends up to 34").
We did have all 3 extensions on one of our gates (you're not supposed to use more than 2) and it is sturdy enough that my daughter can't push through it but it does bow on one side where the two extensions are combined which makes getting it tight difficult and it wiggles when pulled. That's why the 24" extensions are nice so you don't have that problem.
