We purchased this gate for the bottom of our stairs and it is very solid, secure once fitted (my 15 month old has given it a good shake and it didn't move at all), and easy to open even when carrying her. Putting in the extension was difficult because of the tightly fitted cap already in the gate that needed to be removed prior to attaching the extension so it definitely took longer than the five minutes suggested. We were using a deluxe metal gate I purchased from Target a number of years ago that was useless, so it was a relief that the Lindam gate is so good.

Have one of these gates already and it's ok. Bought a new one and they have changed the design slightly (different colour for minor parts). Upon adding extensions you need to remove small plastic end bits to use on the extension. Two of these cracked in half upon removing from main gate to add to extensions (as instructions direct) as were so tightly wedged in. Why these aren't in the bag with screws defies logic but this $100 gate is now completely broken before it's even been used once. Absolute rubbish, would not recommend to anybody. SUMMARY: followed install instructions to the letter and parts of gate snapped in half due to what looks like manufacturing error. Sadly don't have receipt for this junk gate.

This is a good, solid safety gate. The self-closing mechanism is useful, however it is very noisy when it closes. I haven't been able to find a way to close it quietly which is an issue if baby is asleep! We've taken to leaving it open at night once baby is down, by having a folded towel or blanket over the latch so that it cannot engage. Apart from this downfall it is very reassuring knowing that baby cannot get through this gate.
Easy fit, extensions available, price, security.
Very noisy when closing, can't be shut quietly

I recommend the Lindam gate... simple, easy to install, great features, great value for money. Speak to [name censored] at Baby Kingdom Victoria Road Castle Hill for a great customer service and value for money.
So simple to install. The gate is positioned at the top of our staircase.

The opening mechanism makes it a breeze to open the gate especially while juggling a little one in your arms.

The self closing feature combined with the open both direction option is fantastic.
There is nothing I don't like about the product comparative to the competition.
