Average - inexpensive & practical, 08/19/2009
By HappyFaceCookies, Canada
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

Hardware is fine, but we wanted to later move to bottom of stair and would have liked the suction option to prevent damaging our wall and newel post. The large Vs are fairly easy for an active toddler to try to climb up, although actually getting over the top would be difficult...often caught daycare kids halfway up, that is why I wanted to move it. I also have this for outdoor deck...works great. Was not available in Canada so I had to make a special trip. I wonder why since they have stricter baby safety requirements.

Child Craft - 36" Expansion Gate, 08/15/2009
By NintendoWiiFitMan, Los Angeles County, CA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Very convenient. Tall enough to keep animals and children out of your room. Opens and closes very easily. It closes up and is moved to the side so it is not in the way.

Review 3 for Child Craft - 36" Expansion Gate

I'm in love!, 08/13/2009
By PjMa4, NC
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Okay I'm in love with this gate! LOL! I have nothing but walk-through gates in my house. But none of them would fit my tiny bathroom door and my two little boys love to play in the bathroom! The instructions were AWFUL! But I finally figured it out and its awesome! It even swings open to walk through, you don't have to push it to the wall to open it. I was worried about my older girls getting their fingers caught. But I showed them how to swing it open and now I don't have to worry about that. I love how its so TALL too! I don't have to worry about my 4 year old climbing over this gate, as he is already doing with the others. He is such a monkey! This gate would be great for any door way or even the top of the stairs! I'm thinking about getting one for my bedroom door, I'm tired of sharing my room with my 4 kids!

Review 4 for Child Craft - 36" Expansion Gate

Only safe gate for stair use!, 08/05/2009
By JWentzell, Florida
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Gate is kind of ugly, but it's the only one available from Walmart that is hardware-mounted, which means it's the only one safe for stair use! It really needs to have a finish or be painted or something, but other than that it's pretty good gate. Instructions are pretty useless, just make sure you've got someone "handy" to install! :-)

Very functional & Economical, 07/21/2009
By Paubs, Charlotte,NC
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This gate is perfect for keeping dogs out of certain rooms. The functionality is easy to use and does not get in the way! It swings in & out folded or unfolded. Easy to install. A great deal too!

Keeps The Dog Upstairs, 06/27/2009
By KeepTheDogUpStairs, Grand Blanc, Michigan
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We purchased this gate to keep our dog upstairs becuase she loves to eat the cat food:)).

So far, it is doing the job. The days of sneaking down stairs when Mom/Dad are not looking are over with:))))))).

Exceeded expectations, 05/20/2009
By MtnDweller, Evergreen, CO
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I bought the gate to keep my 20 lb Maltipoo inside while keeping the door open for fresh mountain air. (He runs off to see the neighbor dogs if left to his own devices.) The gate is much more sturdy than I expected and works perfectly.

Helpful and functional, 03/31/2009
By Bambi55, Brockton, MA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I ordered these gates because we have 4 dogs, and need to restrict them from going to certain parts of the house. I like the fact that when not in use you can close and will automatically swing to the wall. Plan on painting them to match colors of walls of living room and upstairs hallway.
