Baby Gate recommendations

Question

I was looking at baby gates online at Babies R Us and it seems like almost everyone has lots of negative reviews. I am looking for some suggestions on gates that you like. Also I am using it for a very wide opening (almost 60") so I am not sure if all gates will expand this wide or not. On the information online some state how big they expand and some don't. Any help would be great. This is the one I am thinking about http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2267000

Answer 1

You can go on Consumer Reports and get their suggestions.  You can sign up for a 30 day free trial (that's what I did before I chose all my big items).  They will send you an email about two weeks before the trial ends so you don't have to remember.  You cancel right online - simple.  This way you know which ones are the safest.

Answer 2

I made my husband build one and connect it to the wall after one of my 1 yr olds pulled a store bought one off the wall...we ended up at the ER with a mouth full of stitches!
