I purchased 2 pressure mount gates but under pressure they'd topple over. We used this gate for 4 years in our townhouse & still going strong now with our tenants. I am looking for something new on the market and have realised there isn't much screw in gates that can be installed at the top of the stairs. It's wipes clean with a baby wipe. The length adjusts. It's also easy to open it after the third day with just one hand and baby in my arms. Most importantly I feel at ease knowing that if my son were to push onto the gate it would handle his weight as he grows.

Excellent gate for stairs as it has no bottom trip hazard. We have a split level home with many stairs and we have this installed on each set. To use as a gate you must use the brackets and install it at the right height. It cannot just be pressure mounted at each end, otherwise it does not function at a gate. For those thinling about purchasing this secpnd handake sire it comes with the brackets.

Loved this gate even though we only pressure mounted it. Our little girl always wanted to know where I was and as I love to cook she was kept safe and could see me at all times.
Took it away with us on holidays perfect fit for on the verandah to keep our little one in perfect view. Still using it three years down the track.

With pressure mounting you always need to make sure it's a tight fit and secure.

I had these gates in our home for 5 years. These were not pressure, but hardware mounted. With 2 kids growing up, they have lasted and still look great. Some width adjustment had to be made time to time because kids liked playing with them, but its a small price to pay for a great product. At least they didn't look like prison bars, and are easy to wipe and clean. My five year old only recently got the strength and figured a way of opening them.
Good looking, easy to clean, trick for kids to open, reliable product (once installed properly), lasted for 5 years
some adjustment to width has to be made from time to time because children play with the gate.

Bought second hand. Used it for about a week when my toddler went in her big girl bed. Was in the shower to hear huge crash came out to find the gate and my DD on the floor. Her foot was purple and swollen were I can only imagine it fell on her. Oh dad had put it up for the first time and of course mum had to double check it so was installed correctly.
Bad Product but...Trusted the brand use a lot of there products always good till now
Didnt work didnt stay in place hazzardous. dangerous.

I was utterly fed up to buy this and discover, after starting the install, the one small line hidden in the instructions (no warning on external packaging) "note: when in pressure mount mode, gate does not swing open. You must remove entirely from doorway or area to open"

How on earth does that classify as a pressure mounted GATE???

Also, it doesn't install well around skirting boards (as advertised) as it's pressure mounted rubber stopper is at the height just where the skirting is ending and ends up Half on, half off

Absolute rubbish product and I returned it immediately to the store for a refund
Clear panels
Expensive, doesn't work as a gate when pressure mounted, no good if you have skirtings

It becomes a safety hazard because after having to fix it time after time you get frustrated and just start stepping over it. that leave you open to putting your back out or tripping and falling. My swinging joins broke and the gate itself was annoying to fit back into the door frame after every time you would go through it.
It keeps the child out of rooms you want them to stay out of.
It changes width almost every time you open the gate, and so because of that you have to fiddle with it and just end up stepping over it.

my overall opinion of the first years all-clear safty gate was that unless you had a big opening such as the lounge room to fence off it was no use, i will never consider buying this product again as it was very over priced and did not do what the box told me it could do and is very confusing to operate
it is a fantastic idea and looked great in the picture on the box as the children could look through it and it seemed hard plastic and very safe
the price was well over priced, and when we tried installing the gate which looked easy to install infact turned very complicated and we had to ring the customer service of the product to ask how it worked, they advised us to return the product as it was no use.

Overall, we were quite dissapointed. It would have looked great in the house, had it have worked properly. The peep window is a good idea for the kiddies.
It looks great in the pictures and seems to have a strong plastic frame with a little peep window for the kidies to look through
We absolutly hated this gate. It seemed simple enough but when we tried to fit it to a door way, it refused to open properly. We rang the help desk (they were fantastic) but even they didn't know what was wrong with the gate and recommended we take it back and get our mone back.

This is a pretty good safety gate and, like most things, once you get to know it's flaws, it's all fine. I would certainly recommend this to someone who is looking for a basica and cheap safety gate (but not for stairs).
It was inexpensive when on sale, at least, and generally served it's purpose.
When open and not in use it was vulnerable to our toddler tampering with it. He, at 18 months, could loosen and tighten the piece that secured the gate in place. this meant that when you went to use it, it could be too loose and not work, or too tight and not close. Also, it made a click noise when shutting which was annoying as we had this on our toddlers bedroom door and woke him once or twice.

I love this because it keeps my small maltese out of bubs room, Most security doors have gaps which my tiny dogs can fit through. So this one is really good for small dogs. I love the clear panel, so i can see right through. Works really well when it is screwed into place and fits my single door opening perfectly. Nice white colour, And the handle locking mechanism is very very very good! you have to slide a lock into place and lift up to open. Easy enough for me, but not for other kids. I would definitely recommend this to others i love it and would purchase it again in a flash!
Easy to assemble
Looks great
works great
Keeps my small maltese out of bubs room
Swings both ways when its screwed into place
No cons it is perfect

The see through panel looks good at first, but this gets covered in finger prints with time and requires incessant cleaning. The gate just never seemed stable. The other main issue we had was that toys get stuck between the two panels and the gate needs to be removed to retrieve them (great fun when the toddler simply pokes it back in after all the effort!!) Would not recommend for over 18 months.
Initially like the see though panel. The gate is quite hard for even bigger kids to open. Hard mounted, essential for mounting on stairs.
This gate just did not stand up to the treatment dished out by a 2yo and broke at the point where the gate extends. The gate also did not feel stable when swinging and eventually broke at the hinge also.
