Regalo Top Of Stairs Expandable Metal Baby Safety Gate with Mounting Kit

The Regalo gate is a nice looking gate that does its job of preventing my 18 month old going down the stairs. Installation needs professional skills as one side needs to be drilled for support (if you have a wall). Its easy to remove it with one hand, however, for locking it requires a lot of effort. The instructions were quite good and the parts were over supplied so it was useful.

es un buen podrusto ya que tiene varias opciones para la insatalacion de acuerdo a como sea tu escalera aparte de que se puede abrir toda y puedes pasar facilmente, Para abrirla si se puede hacer con una sola mano para cerrarla si necesitas las dos pero para mi no existe problema con eso. la recomiendo mucho.

I bought 4 of these baby gates, and so far we have gotten 1 installed. These are quite pricey, but for my home, I have 4 sets of mismatching staircases, and this Regalo is the most versatile with the mounting kits for round and square banisters as well as the wall. I have one square to square stairs, two circle to wall, and one square to circle staircase. I wanted all the gates to be the same, so we wouldn't have issues trying to figure out the open/lock mechanism on 4 different gates/models. Few things to note, the adhesive on the square banister corner guards were no longer sticky, so didn't really help in staying still during installation and one of the plastic locks for the velcro was upside down, so it was mind-boggling. My husband also said that using 3 of the corner guards instead of 4 on the square banister allowed a more secure fit. Aside from that, it works very well. It's very sturdy, easy to unlock by squeezing the triggers and lift up to unlatch. I have unlatched it with one hand, however, it does work better two handed, so keep that in mind if bringing baby in arms. Will edit after installing the remaining 3 if there are any other things to note, but loving it so far!

Great quality, easy to install, been very safe.

This gate has the many attachments, that way you can install it differently to fit your needs. You can do banister to banister, wall to wall, and banister to wall. It's not pressure mounted and you can install it without drilling into your banister! I was wary buying something that has velcro straps, I thought surely it would become loose with time or I'd never get a tight install. That's not the case with this! If you zoom into my picture you may be able to see on the banister install that there's a small clip to keep the straps from coming undone. It's difficult to open and I doubt anyone under 5 years old will have the strength to get it off. With the strap install, after you've gotten the straps as tight as you can there's a little tool that you use on a small screw to give it a even tighter fit, it's just tightening it a smidge by pulling the straps. (Still no drilling) I recommend reading the instructions closely and inspect each part before starting so you can figure out your install before you begin. The install to our wall I only needed the three spacers, the metal bar, and three screws but the banister side needed quite a bit of the kit to complete. The rubber pieces that is under the the straps keeps a good grip onto the banister, that way there is no slipping or sliding down. Nothing should be loose if done correctly. We've installed two gates to prevent our baby from going up and down the stairs, however we have a autistic 3 year old the gate doesn't keep out. She will climb over it daily to get to her room and she's 35 pounds. While that isn't recommended (I honestly can't keep her from not climbing it) I can attest that the gate is very sturdy and strong, the metal hasn't bent with her weight even with her climbing on it daily. Over time I may need to tighten the straps because of her weight on it daily but the gate is just that good even with her climbing it or trying to forcibly shake it open.
