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.

 Love this gate! November 18, 2008

We bought this for our daughters playroom, bottom of stairs, and for another room in the house. This gate is a great buy; very sturdy.

I had initially purchased this gate about 6 years ago to block off my back door from my 90lbs. yellow lab. This gate lasted not only through the wear and tear of the outdoor elements, but the pouncing and jumping of my dog (especially during bad weather). So, when it came time to buy a gate for my toddlers this was the gate of choice. I do like the new ramp that was added to prevent tripping over the threshold. I wish they made one for large door openings. :)
I like it a lot November 4, 2008

This gate is very good. I like that it's hands free. It's very sturdy, and as much as my child tries to get out, she can't. I did have to by the extension. It's very easy to set up. The only problem I found was securing the gett to the walls. The feet that secured it to the wall interfered with the molding so I had to raise the gate a little bit.
Great gate, just bought my 3rd! October 31, 2008

It's easy to install and operate. You push down the pedal and can open the gate with your knee hands free if you want (a total bonus). I do agree that the opening is a bit narrow, but well worth the trade off to have an easy to install, user-friendly option. It's pressure mounted, but locks in solid and secure. Very sturdy and worth the money.

After reading the reviews, I ordered this gate to keep my small dogs(<8Ib) from coming into my baby's room when we are playing on the floor. But they are able to get through the sides of the gate. Also I thought since it stated its hands free gate, the gate would swing open when you step on the pedal, but it doesn't. You have to push the gate open after you step on the pedal or use your knee to open the gate.
