Last month, we asked our customers what extra wide baby gate they choose and how they would rate them. There were no surprises, the Dreambaby Pressure Mount Hallway Gate came in first position and was the number one gate of many parents. This gate fits a reasonable large area (38″-53″), but can also accommodate larger areas with larger extensions. The gate is easy to set up (in less than 30 minutes), shuts by itself, is easy to open, and features a great lock. The design of the gate allows your child to see on the other side of the gate and not feel lonely on his or her side of the gate. Because it is pressure mounted, you don’t need to screw anything in your wall. The Dreambaby is tall enough so children can’t get over and was designed to make climbing of the gate nearly impossible for any children.
