Editorial Review
Although many pressure-mounted gates can provide a good barrier for kids, the safest and most reliable way to block their access to a room or stairwell is with a gate that mounts on a wall. Attaching directly to a wall or stairwell banister, this Safeway Gate combines sturdy steel construction with a simple design that makes it easy for an adult to open the gate with one hand. It takes a bit of work to assemble and mount the gate, but the included illustrated instructions for installation are clear and a total list of parts has also been included so that you can do an inventory before starting an installation. Measuring 30.5 inches tall, the gate can expand from 24.75 to 43.5 inches wide, and you can add an optional 24-inch extension (sold separately) to increase the width to 66 inches. --Chris Burns

The KidCo Safeway G20 Safety Gate offers award-winning, maximum protection for the top of your stairs and other doorways.

- Unidirectional gate keeps gate from swinging over stairs
- Easily releases from wall-mounted hardware when not in use
|  | | 
The G20 is flexible enough to install at the top or bottom of stairs, or in doorways. View larger. |
Safety experts strongly recommend that the top of stairways be blocked by a permanently mounted gate -- rather than a pressure-mounted model -- for maximum protection. The KidCo Safeway G20 Gate offers both permanent mounting and an exclusive, unidirectional feature that keeps the gate from opening out over the stairs. It fits openings from 24-3/4 inches to 43-1/2 inches wide. If your doorway is wider, you can purchase an extension to accommodate openings 43-1/2 to 66 inches wide. And when you need to get the gate out of the way, it easily releases from the wall-mounted hardware. High Quality and Thoughtful Craftsmanship
With the KidCo ConfigureGate, form follows function. It meets or exceeds US Child Safety Standards, providing the maximum protection for your child, and with its Scandinavian-inspired design, the gate's clean-lined, minimalist style will blend handsomely into any décor. Like all KidCo gates, the ConfigureGate is constructed with fine, high-quality materials, including thicker virgin steel and certified non-toxic paint. The European factories are ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 certified.

 Best gate on the market for staircases!!!!!! October 18, 2002
87 out of 88 found this review helpful
I can't express just how much I love this gate! I searched high and low to find a suitable gate for the top of my staircase and after trying several gates I purchased the Safeway Gate from kidco...and couldn't be more thrilled with my decision! There are not many gates on the market designed for a wall to banister mount, I thought the only choice I had was a presure mount gate but, after my son took a spill I decided there must be something better. The Safeway gate was so easy to install! Granted, I needed to buy a installation kit so the gate would mount to the banister. But, to my delight there was no need to drill holes into the banister, it mounted securily with plastic tie straps. I could seriously put all my weight against the gate without it budging! I know some people have expressed that the gate is not easy to open but I would disagree, I can easily open it with one hand. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with other gates! This is the only one you need to buy!
Great gate, solid mount - NOT the same as IKEA's version September 11, 2004
35 out of 36 found this review helpful
I just installed this gate and it took me about 45 minutes. The mounting hardware is sturdy and the instructions are clear. From what I can see it appears to be a pretty nice gate and gives me a little more piece of mind than the #1 and #2 gates (according to Consumer Reports - see below). Really, I don't think you could go wrong with the Safety First - Simple and Secure or this one.
To clear up a few things that have been mistated by others:
1. This is not the same gate available from IKEA. The Patrull Fast gate may have the same hardware but the gate from IKEA is one piece and it's width is only adjustable for openings 28 1/2" to 31 1/8" (that's about three inches!). The Kidco version is for openings 24.75 to 43.5. That's a big difference.
2. This is not the #1 baby gate. It is actually #3. For hardware mounted gates, it goes (as of 08/04)
- 1 The First Years Simple & Secure Stair Gate 3620 $70
- 2 Evenflo Secure Solutions Swing Gate 1050 $35
- 3 KidCo Safeway Gate G20 $65
- 4 Cardinal Gate Stairway Special SS-30A $80
- 5 Safety 1st Swing 'N Lock Gate 41780 $30
Great Gate! June 20, 2001

We purchased this gate when my son was 10 months old and climbing like a pro. We installed one at the top of our stairs and one at the bottom, in our living room. Not only is the gate simple in style (not an eyesore in our main living area), but it was easy to open and close with one hand. The sturdy construction of this gate assured me that my climber would be safe and unable to scale to the other side. Three years later and we just reinstalled the gates for child number 2, who is determined to outdo her brother's climbing abilities! Purchasing these gates was one of the best investments we made!
Keeps puppy and baby where they belong! April 8, 2003
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
We originally thought that we were going to be gate-free since we lived in a ranch house with pocket doors blocking off the kitchen and hallways. However, we soon realized that the best-laid plans are often thrown aside when it comes to a mobile baby. Yes, we could block off areas of the house with the pocket doors, but we couldn't see our son and our son couldn't see us, which soon led to our search for baby gates. Soon after the search began, my husband came home with a Labrador puppy (surprise!). Now we had an active seven-month old and a new puppy to keep out of trouble. The gate search went from a priority to a TOP priority. We had been all set to buy the Hands-Free gate from The First Years, but decided against it because of the plastic pieces. The puppy would soon make lunch out of those, and the gate would then be useless. We decided to try our luck with the KidCo, and we're very glad that we did. What we love:
-Sturdy metal construction. The gate has been able to withstand a puppy who hasn't found his brakes yet crashing into it on numerous occasions, as well as a seven month old in a walker who insists on ramming into everything to see what kind of noise it will make. Since it is metal, the puppy can't chew his way to freedom. -Vertical bars. There is nothing to aid a toddler in climbing the gate. The bars go up and down and there isn't anything for a little one to get a foothold on. -Versatility. YOU pick which way the gate swings and what side it opens on. This was very important to us, because we were working with a cramped space and there was only one way we could have a gate open. -No U shape. A lot of gates, even stair gates, have a bar running along the bottom of them. This doesn't seem like a big deal until you trip on it or stub your toe trying to go over it. On the top of a staircase, this bar is a terrible idea for obvious reasons. The Safeway gate eliminates this bar, and still stands sturdy. What we'd change:
-The installation. My husband did have a few choice words for this gate during the installation process. Once I intervened and we read the directions step by step the gate went up fine, but for someone who just skims the directions this could be a nightmare. -The latch. Other reviewers have mentioned the latch, and its difficulty. The latch can be difficult to work with one hand, especially at first. What I have found helpful is to push down ON AN ANGLE on the triangle piece with your thumb and use the rest of your fingers to lift up on the top bar (thumb still holding triangle piece at an angle). All in all, the pros far outweigh the cons and you have a sturdy, well-constructed gate that will give you piece of mind. No gate should be thought of as a baby-sitter, but when used properly this gate prevents nasty stair accidents.
Save your research time -- BUY THIS GATE! July 9, 2003
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I spent a lot of time researching all types of gates, and this one sounded the best. We purchased 2 -- one for the top of our basement stairs, and one for the bottom of our main staircase. It was easy to install, extremely easy to operate, required minimal adjustment and very secure. Even though it is mounted into the door frame and/or wall, it doesn't marr up the surface badly at all. Just a few drill holes, and the mounts are very inconspicuous. When researching, I asked the manufacturer exactly what was in the installation kit used to mount this to an iron spindle or rail and was told basically just a couple of pieces of wood and some hardware to secure it to the rail -- "just going to the hardware store for you..." they said, so we didn't even bother. My only suggestion is to have longer wood screws. The ones included are too short -- just like everyone else says. The mounting template made installation a breeze. I also like the fact there is no bar to step over on the bottom like a lot of other gates. Much more economical that some of the pressure mounted gates that require so many extension and additional installation kits. Great value!
