Babelio 26-43" No Bottom Bar Baby Gate for Babies, Elders and Pets, 2-in-1 Hardware Mount Dog Gate for The House, Stairs and Doorways, with Large Walk Thru Door, White

We’ve purchased five of these No Bottom Bar Gates over the past couple of years, and they’ve proven to be an excellent choice for both keeping our dogs confined and ensuring our kids are safe from stairs.The first gate we installed was a challenge due to unclear instructions, requiring trial and error to get it right. However, the manufacturer has since updated the instructions, and the version from our most recent purchase is much clearer. That said, having prior experience with installation likely contributed to the ease this time around, so new users might still find it slightly challenging.This gate shines in areas where pressure-mounted gates fall short. The absence of a bottom bar is a game-changer. It eliminates tripping hazards (particularly important for grandparents, and for stairs) avoids damage to wood floors, and allows our Roomba to pass underneath for uninterrupted cleaning. We installed the gate slightly higher than recommended for this exact reason, which has worked perfectly for our household; Roomba works even with the gate closed!The gate’s full-width opening is another major plus. It provides ample space for anyone to pass through comfortably, and the dual-direction opening is a thoughtful touch. The auto-close feature works reliably, and the stay-open option is convenient when we need the gate temporarily out of the way.Construction feels solid and secure; our kid hangs from it constantly and it hasn't bent/warped. The double-lock mechanism adds an extra layer of safety, though it does take a bit of getting used to. I find the one-handed operation easy, but it’s slightly less intuitive for my wife and visitors unfamiliar with it.Overall, we’re very happy with this gate. Its combination of safety, convenience, and sleek design makes it well worth the investment. Whether you’re looking to keep kids safe or pets contained, this gate is an excellent choice. We highly recommend it to anyone in need of a high-quality, hassle-free safety gate.

Perfect!!! I bought this for my Mother for her birthday, to replace her old dog gate that had come apart. It was very easy to install and it is perfect for her needs. She loves it! My mom is handicapped, so I wanted her gate to be safe for her to walk-though. This gate does not have a bar at bottom, which makes is so much safer than other gates. This gate is top quality, very sturdy, and very attractive. I highly recommend this product. I will post a photo later today.

I really appreciate the no-bottom-bar design, adjustable width, and the stay-open and auto-close features, all of which make it convenient and easy to use.However, ergonomically, the handle could be improved. The bottom part of the handle is a bit uncomfortable, as lifting the gate to open it requires some pressure. A rounded design instead of a square edge would make it much more comfortable to grip.Additionally, the wall-mounted latches would benefit from oval-shaped mounting holes for finer adjustments. My initial placement was just slightly too high, forcing me to drill another set of holes only 2mm lower—something that could have been avoided with a more adjustable design.Overall, it's a great gate with strong functionality, but a couple of small design tweaks would make it even better.

The media could not be loaded. This is Awesome. Easy to Install, Quality look & Feel. I think this will work great. You grab the top of handle and squeeze it down to unlock, then have to also lift the gate 1/8"-1/4" while squeezing the latch to get it to open. So I feel like it would be Very Hard for a toddler to open. We were concerned about our 10 month old Boy going down the stairs. This feels secure and sturdy. Looks versatile with adjustments. They send a barcode link to watch install videos which at first was confusing because there are so many models and we didn't even know what this one was called. The paperwork manual of course had that info. It was packaged well and safe. My only complaint would be the annoying warning sticker. They stuck everything else with zip ties why they had to put an ugly warning sticker that we didn't try to remove till after installed. That actually took longer than setting it up.The gate can swing either direction, but on the top of our stairs it would hit the top of banister of opening towards steps. Which works great because we did t want it to open towards the stairs. If opened 90 degrees it can stay open anything less it ramps down to automatically shut. That's if it gets enough momentum. I like it.

I bought 2 of these gates and we are satisfied with the strength and function. The instructions could be a bit more clear and I see why some reviews point that out, but Im reviewing the gates and not the instructions. I was able to install the 2nd gate faster as a result of learning from the 1st. The weakness very well could be the locking mechanism but once everyone using them learns how to properly operate them this could help. I really like the way it stays open when you want it open and it has a self closing feature that works well if you are able to install gate plumb and level. I've dealt with a lot of baby gates through the years and some are a pain to operate especially when you're not familiar with that particular gate. I am a proponent of teaching our babies to stay off the gate as a no-no and if using a lot of baby force it could fail. But as far as design, build quality, along with ease of use the Babeloi products are great

Honestly this is very hard to open… but I guess that’s the whole purpose so I don’t want to complain about it too much. Just hard while holding my child and trying to lift it it’s a little awkward. Height is great, installation was easy. I have it on the top of my stairs so I like that it stays open too if you need it to, doesn’t slam back shut.

This gate was an excellent buy. We have a 3 month old puppy and he learned to climb over the wooden gate we had. It was easy to install, even with a 150 yr old uneven house!!! It looks much nicer than most gates.
