Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have 3 huge complaints regarding this. First off, the gate itself is very sturdy. It is mostly metal and seems pretty solid. One problem with the device is the connectors that attach to the wall are made of plastic. Our child is only turning one, so this has only been in use for a few months. I find it hard to believe that these gates will last for more than 1 child. We have 2 gates and both plastic connectors on the wall are showing significant signs of wear and tear just from the gate being opened and closed. A second complaint also regarding the connectors, they contain small metal springs that are not fastened in there. After some time we already had one fall out. These gates are for children, so clearly they did not think through the possibility of small parts being a hazard. My last complaint, there are large bolts on the gate that can be extended to meet the size of your doorway. On numerous occasions I have been walking around, walked full speed into one of the bolts and came away with a nasty bruise. Yes, I’m clumsy, but so are small children.
