Kidco Extra Tall and Wide Auto Close Gate Review

Kidco Extra Tall and Wide Auto Close Gate Review

The product was provided for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Stairwells are oftentimes the hardest parts of your house to baby proof. In our new house we have a space that I needed to block off, but finding a gate that would work wasn’t an easy task.

Kidco Extra Wide Gate

I chose the Kidco Extra Tall & Wide Auto Close Gateway ® G1201 because it was a very wide gate and it uses pressure to stay in place so that you don’t have to ruin your home. This also makes the gate easily movable.

The gate also has a door that has a self closing mechanism for easy entry and exit. It is magnet-lock that automatically draws the door closed and guarantees it locks each and every time! If you push the gate all the way open, it has a Hold Open feature that secures the door in an open position and suspends the auto-close feature allowing free traffic flow until it’s pushed closed again.

These features are all perfect for our uses. I got the gate a little early because my dog love to pee on the carpet! It serves 2 purposes because  it is high enough so the dog can’t get over it and also Cami is a growing machine. She is in the 97% for height, and I want to make sure the gate protects her.

Compression Gates

The gate quickly became part of the house and it is though it has always been there. I like that it is black and blends in quite well with the rest of the house. I’ve had inexpensive doggie gates before and nearly killed myself trying to get over them. This gate is a pleasure to have in the house. I love it!

Baby Gate Review

The installation requires no tools. Here is a quick video on how to install the gate. If the extra tall and extra wide is not for you, Kidco has a gate finder that helps your decide what type of gate you need.

This gate is my new favorite baby item because it allows me to section off my house from the dog and is the start of the baby proofing protection plan for my little one.

    I found out that this gate has a hold open feature when I checked out the website. I have a gate somewhat similar to this now, and it does not have this feature. I am constantly having to prop it open when I need it to stay open! It is frustrating. A hold open feature would really be a welcome feature.

    I love the extra height on this gate, it would do more to deter the little climber I have right now! I also like that it is pressure mounted so I’m not going to have unsightly repairs when my wee one is finally old enough for it to be taken down…
