Here is what a parent?s mantra should be when seeking a safety gate: Easy for me, difficult for child. Because really, what else do you need? A good-looking gate is nice, sure, and it?s important to have the right size for various entryways. But it all comes down to safety for the kid and ease-of-use for the parent. The Evenflo Top of Stair Gate meets and exceeds these stipulations. And it?s not bad looking, either! Perfect for High Traffic Areas
Designed to secure that most dangerous of crawler/toddler attractions, the stairs, the Top of Stair Gate features key safety elements, including four-point hardware mount, one-direction swing setting, and kidproof latch. Four-Point Hardware Mount
This is an extremely secure mounting when used with the one-direction swing setting for the gate. A Phillips screwdriver and electric drill with 1/8-inch bit are required (not included). A mounting template is included for quick installation?this is a very useful benefit, as most parents spend far more time than they had originally planned or hoped, installing gates. The gate is easy to remove (leaving the hardware in the walls) for those times when you don?t need it and do want easier grownup access to the stairs. Swing Mount
Correctly installed, the gate can swing both ways or be used with the one-direction swing setting for top of stairs use. The usefulness of this setting becomes obvious when you consider the danger of the accidentally unlatched gate swinging open over the stairs? Childproof Latch
To open the gate, press in and slide out. You?ll hear an audible click. Once you?ve got the hang of it, it?s a quick, one-handed operation that will allow you to pass through the gate even while carrying a child?but foil even the most dexterous toddler?s attempts to break out. Vertical Bars: Not Just for Prison Anymore
Vertical bars are crucial to any gate?s effectiveness. Amazingly, some gate manufacturers have not figured this out yet. A horizontal bar across a gate is an open invitation to climb. Evenflo, fortunately, has a firm grasp on this concept. The Top of Stair vertical bars? smooth, non-toxic, splinter-resistant finish thwarts little climbers. A Good, Basic Gate
Standing 30 inches tall and extending from 28 to 42 inches wide, the gate fits standard doorways and keeps children (up to 24 months) appropriately frustrated in their efforts to topple down stairs. --Emilie Coulter

Prevent any accidents by installing the Top of the Stairs Plus Gate. View larger. | Key Safety Elements Protect Your Child From Falls
Designed to secure the stairs, perhaps the most dangerous of enticements for crawling babies and new-to-walking toddlers, the Top of the Stairs Gate features key safety elements to help prevent accidents. First, the four-point hardware mount ensures that the gate stays in place, even when your child is pushing against it, and is highly secure for stairs and other entryways. And the mounting works in tandem with the one-direction swing setting and the kid-proof latch to provide additional security. Ideal for High-Traffic Areas
The Top of the Stairs Plus gate is very user-friendly. Parents can set it up in minutes with the included mounting template and operate it with just one hand--an option that's especially helpful while carrying a child. Once it's correctly installed, it can swing right, left or 180 degrees, or it can be used with the one-direction swing setting for extra security at the top of the stairs, an option that does not allow the gate to swing out over the stairs. It's also extremely convenient for high-traffic areas because it keeps baby safe while allowing adults to come and go quickly and easily. Vertical Bars and Solid Construction
Vertical bars are crucial to any gate's effectiveness because unlike horizontal bars, they do not entice curious children to attempt to climb on them. That's why the Top of Stair Plus features vertical bars with a smooth, non-toxic, splinter-resistant finish. Built to last, this gate also features durable construction and looks attractive in any home. For added peace of mind, it comes with a limited 90-day warranty. About Evenflo

 Do not buy this gate if... August 16, 2008
...there is a baseboard where you want to mount it. The instructions that come with the gate state explicitly that the gate cannot be mounted because of the unevenness of the wall with a baseboard. This constraint is never mentioned in the advertising for the gate. Hopefully if you read this you will save the hassle and shipping/return costs.
 Solid and safe gate. August 2, 2008
I now own two of these gates. One for the bottom and the top of the stairs. The 2nd one is a recent addition with a baby while the original one was used for the dog. The first gate has held up so well that when it was time to get another gate I was delighted to see that this model was still available some 9 years later.
Your baseboards might cause some problems during install, but if you secure this gate into a stud then you can rest easy that your kids can climb on it and it won't come down. Junior rattles this thing like prison bars sometimes, but I know it's not coming loose.
Nice gate July 29, 2008
The Evenflo top of stair gate is a good find. Relatively easy to install, simple design, and sturdy. We have three of these (3-story house with a second set of stairs).
To install, we needed to be a little creative to account for the plaster walls (not great with screws) and baseboard (sticks out further than walls). We attached a small piece of wood (same thickness as baseboard) to the plaster wall. This evened it up and gave the screws something better to latch on to. It's not necessarily pretty, but it works quite well and the baby is safe.
Simple and reliable July 13, 2008
Very simple in design. Easy to install. Used wax to give same color as our wood floor.
Easy lock and unlock.
Works great! May 29, 2008
I checked out a lot of gates and settled on this one. Good price, great functionality and easy to install. A few times I caught my little one grabbing and banging on it at the top of the stairs and it's held it's own just fine. Take the time to make sure you install it right and you're all set.
