Summer Infant Extra Tall Decorative Walk-Thru Gate

There is a lot to like about Summer Infant Walk-Thru gate, but it also has some (in my eyes) serious drawbacks. Pros – + Installation is relatively painless + Sturdy construction – this is a product I am confident in leaving in place without fear of accidents + Nice appearance – it certainly does not look cheap + Has the ability to adapt to span openings from 28-48″ – this is the SPAN that the entire gate covers “from rail-to-wall” Areas for improvement – The gate opening is just not wide enough – I dread trying to go through the gate with suitcases or anything of width. This is different than the gates span … what I am referring to is the actual fixed opening that you walk through. – The catch mechanism sticks into the opening by about 2″ – It is positioned perfectly to catch onto clothes and pockets. I see things getting caught and ripped in our immediate future. – For some reason our gate does not automatically close. Final Verdict – While I can’t give this gate a hearty recommendation I am still not convinced that it is not the best baby gate on the market. I know that sounds crazy, but I have not found a product that I don’t have major complaints with – so with that 3 Stars

    Baby gate that allows pet access?

    I have twins that will be crawling soon and need to block off the laundry room which contains our cats litter box. Is there some sort of baby gate that the cats can get through, or are they going to have to just jump over the gate to use the box? We also have stairs that need to be gated and am nervous at the thought of the cats jumping over the gate and dealing with stairs at the same time. Thanks for any help!

    Help finding a wooden dog or pet gate?

    I’ve found a lot of them, but I can’t find any that say how much weight they can hold back. I need one for my grandma so she won’t fall down the stairs. It would need to hold at least 160 pounds (if she stumbles into it) It would also help if it was wooden because that looks nicer but metal is fine, too. Thanks!
    Actually I posted this at my parents’ request – I offered to help them find something. Sorry about the category – wasn’t sure what to put it under… Any specific suggestions about gates would be helpful :)

      Pet safety concern?!?

      Hi there! I just moved into my new home (a townhouse with 2 stories.) Now i’m worried because my chiuahuahs are very curious and they want to go up and down the stairs (made of wood)
      I’m scared they could slip and fall one day so what do you suggest to keep them from climbing? Maybe one of those baby gates? I thought of saying ‘no’ and punishing when they try to go up but that’s not enough for them. Please help, thanks.
      I guess, thanks to those of you that gave me actual answers :P

      Outdoor Pet Gates?

      I live in an upstairs apartment. I want to find a gate that I can use to block the stairs. They are cement stairs with railing. I want something that I could use at the top to keep my dog from going down the stairs. Does anyone know a type of gate that I could use? It would prefer it to be free standing or not require any bolting that would destroy the property.
