Evenflo Position and Lock Wood Safety Gate

I have used this gate to keep my son from trekking onto a wet kitchen or bathroom floor. With practice, it installs in seconds. And instead of closing the door to the office, where there are wires galore, we use this gate. By using this gate (as opposed to closing doors) we have been able to more safely take care of practical tasks, while at the same time, maintain some contact with our son and the rest of the apartment.

The price is reasonable and the quality is excellent. We highly recommend this gate!


Keeps the dog out of the cat box too!   April 23, 2002

If your 4 leg little one has suddenly developed a distasteful interest in the cat box, this is a quick / cheap solution. The cat easily jumps it to do his business; the dog can only watch from a far. No more of those "gee, I hope that's a Baby Ruth bar" moments and it gives the cat some much needed alone time.


Great Gate for Active Baby   October 26, 2008
We use this gate to contain our 10 month old son. He likes to play in the hallway so we set it up at the end of the hallway and close all the doors. He spends a lot of time standing and pulling on the gate but it doesn't budge. It's easy to use and it's a design that has stood the test of time; I worked in a daycare 15 years ago and this is the gate we used!

I will say that this gate did not hold up well to our very active schnauzer. He could easily jump over it. When we stacked the gates, he destroyed the plastic screen and escaped in less than an hour.

Good choice for baby, bad choice for dogs.
