Rarely does a mom or dad make it through a day without thinking they could use an extra set of hands. So we designed the next best thing---a safety gate that doesn't require any hands at all! But perhaps the finest part is that while it's simple for an adult to just press on the pedal and walk through, it's too difficult for a baby. Features include: foot-pedal operated gate swings open in both directions fits all standard doorways 29"" to 34"" wide, and will fit openings up to 44"" wide with Gate Extension Kit for use from 6 to 24 months pressure-mounted design that won't mar walls or doorway audible click indicates gate has locked

Hands Free Indeed
This is a great product. Easy to install and sturdy. Very practical and easy to use. No complaints. It also looks nice and functions well. For the price this has to be one of the best gates out there.

so far so good
So far so good my two year olds can't get it open. They love to slam it though, and we have had a bit of a problem with closing it since they have been so rough on it. Overall we love it. It is much easier to navigate then our last gate (especially since it goes into the kitchen and I usually have my hands full when I am trying to go through it). We have an old house that probably doesn't have an even doorway and this gate can be adjusted to accommodate that. I would recommend it to a friend.

Best gate I've ever seen
This is, indeed, an excellent gate. It arrived in perfect condition, too, which is not always the case on shipped items.
This gate is sturdy, easy to install, and performs well. I bought it for my pet ferrets. I modified it by adding wood paneling (since ferrets would have no problem slipping through the bars) and it has been performing well. I did notice that you really need to push it shut with the knee pad or the bottom doesn't latch as readily, but that's no big deal. It clicks loudly when latched, which is a good thing, since it helps you know you've got it shut right.
So far no ferrets have escaped through it (since we added the wood). There IS a small hole under the foot pedal that a tiny ferret might try to use as an escape route, but so far, none of mine have done more than peek through the opening.
This gate has definitely improved things, as stepping over the gate a zillion times a day was ruining my hip. This is a well-made gate!

The First Years Gate - Excellent Quality!!
This gate was the one I selected based on reviews and I am glad I did. My 10month old cannot access the kitchen and my 5 year old nephew had a hard time accessing as well, which was the point :-)
Excellent quality! Very happy with it and would recommend it.

misleading description
Although i must admit that this system could conceivably work just fine for a normal doorway, little information is given to "warn" the prospective buyer of the products limitations as to wider doorways.
No provision is made for adjusting to a wider doorway and, although the company has "adjusters", they want an additional exorbitant amount for those "adjusters". The result was that i had to swallow a $22 shipping charge to return the item to Amazon.
None the less, i do feel fortunate having purchased the item from Amazon which allowed me to return the item with no questions asked. I will be quite a bit more cautious the next purchase and, given the chance, will avoid any purchase from this company.

Great gate
I have no complaints about this gate - I love it and am getting another one for another room in our house. Being able to step and knock the gate with your knee when you are holding your baby is really helpful. My husband installed it on a standard door frame. You have to follow the instructions to get it to fit snuggly, but once you have it installed properly, it is solid and won't go anywhere.

My 11-month old can open this gate
We installed this gate at the top of our stairs yesterday; today, our 11-month old son opened it and fell down the stairs. He's not hurt, thankfully, but clearly the gate isn't very effective. The gate was properly installed and securely closed, but he was able to open it by standing on the foot pedal while holding onto the top of the gate.
The gate itself seems well-constructed and is very easy for my husband and I to use; however, because it's also so easy for our baby to use, we'll be replacing it with a different gate tonight.
I can't recommend this gate for installation in critical areas of your home.

Baby gate
This is a great product for a household with small children or pets that need boundaries. It's "no hands" feature really works!

Great gate
This gate has been great. It is exactly as pictured, easy to assemble and sturdy enough to handle repeated use. My Maltese puppy figured out a way to get through the side openings but a little duct tape fixed that. It keeps my dog confined and allows my 90+ year old mother free access. I wish I had gotten it earlier.
