Product Description
Rarely does a mom or dad make it through a day without thinking they could use an extra set of hands. So First Years designed the next best thing -- a safety gate that doesn't require any hands at all! But even though it's simple for an adult to just press on the pedal and walk through, it's too difficult for a baby. The gate fits all standard doorways 29" to 34" wide, and, with use of the Gate Extension Kit (sold separately) will also fit other openings up to 44" wide. The pressure-mounted design won't damage walls or doorways. An audible click lets you know the gate has locked.
Amazon.com Product Description
Because of its simple "knee-knocker" mechanism, this Hands Free Gate can do exactly what the name implies: be opened without having to use your hands. Any parent occupied with little ones and all of their necessities will quickly recognize this as a huge benefit. To operate, simply press on the pedal with your toes and then bump the knee plate with your knee. Closing is just a nudge in the opposite direction; you will hear a click when the latch has caught, offering peace of mind that it?s secure again.  | | The convenient foot pedal is easy for adults, but difficult for children, to open. | The pedal, knee plate, and hinges are designed so the gate can swing open from either direction. Even smarter is that the gate is purposely designed as easy-to-open for an adult, yet difficult for children. The gate?s vertical bars curb curious toddlers from trying to climb over, are spaced to help prevent painful accidents, and provide ample visibility through to the other side.  | | Adjustable pressure mounts don?t require screws and won?t mark up your walls. | Able to fit in standard doorframes (29" to 34" wide), the all-metal safety gate is a pressure-mount device. Just twist the adjustable bolts at each of the four corners to get a proper, secure fit in your doorways. (If you have wider than standard doors, The First Years sells extension kits separately that can accommodate up to 44-inch wide openings.) It should be noted that this safety gate can be a little unsteady when used at the outer limits of its range, so you may want to consider an extension kit even if using in a standard doorway. Before you buy, there are two things to be aware of. One, the actual opening for parents, kids, and/or pets to walk through is only about 18 inches wide. Two, if you want to use this in a doorway and be able to close the door, the foot pedal sticks out too far to allow this. For use with children up to 24 months.

 Great gate August 15, 2008
This gate has been great. It is exactly as pictured, easy to assemble and sturdy enough to handle repeated use. My Maltese puppy figured out a way to get through the side openings but a little duct tape fixed that. It keeps my dog confined and allows my 90+ year old mother free access. I wish I had gotten it earlier.

I can't imagine a better gate August 13, 2008
This is pretty much the best gate I could conceive of. The pressure mounts are wonderfully sturdy, the design is ingenious and convenient, and for now, anyway, there's no way my baby is getting past it.
If there were any improvement to be made, I wish the profile of the bottom section were a little lower. I've tripped over it and stubbed my toe on it. This is a minor complaint, on balance.
 The First Years gate August 12, 2008
This is the fourth gate I have purchased in the last two years. I would not have purchased so many if I were not fully satisfied
People pleaser July 25, 2008
We have had this gate for a few weeks and we have no complaints. It is in a hallway to a bathroom and the baby's room so guests must use it for the bathroom.
The overwhleming comment from guests is "phew, thank goodness it is not one of those annoying gates with buttons or handles." We agree - we love the hands-free!
Exactly what we needed! July 22, 2008
We recently brought home a new puppy, and I wanted a gate that would be easy for my 5 year old to use to get into and out of her toy room, but keep the puppy safe from her toys. This gate has worked perfectly! My daughter can use it easily, and does, frequently, when she needs a break from the puppy. The puppy stays out and her toys don't get chewed, or swallowed causing huge vet bills. It is awesome because of the vertical bars, even when our dog gets older, it will be near impossible (only the future will tell) for her to get over it.
We have since moved the gate from her toy room, to the hallway that leads to both her bedroom and toy room. now all her things are safe from puppy teeth.
I find it easy to use to pass thru with laundry and whatever else. Once our newest baby gets here in November, it will definitely be even more appreciated!
It installed easy, my husband just used a level to ensure the gate was level vertically as we were tightening down the tension screws. Easy as pie! We have had it for about 3 weeks now. No complaint. An awesome product.
