Evenflo Position & Lock Gate Review Summary

Parents say the Evenflo position and Lock Gate is one of the lightest and “cheapest baby gates on the shelf”. The Evenflo Gate is good for small toddlers, climbers and even dogs. One reviewer says it is very sturdy and doesn’t fall easily. “It stands up to 2 labs, a great dane and a hyper mutt!” The downside, however, is that while it is expandable, the Evenflo Position & Lock Gate may not “fit your door opening” and “may lift the paint”. Some reviewers specifically say it doesn’t fit their small doorways. If you are looking for a basic, expandable and sturdy baby gates this is a good option. If you want a baby gate with more safety features and bells and whistles, look at your other options.

We bought this gate (it came as a set of two) for a really good deal.  I don't have stairs to worry about, but I wanted them so I could keep our daughter out of the pantry where we keep the trash, the kitty litter and catfood bowls.  I thought I could use the spare to keep her inside when we left the...

Great Gates, this one, is not.

This is the cookie cutter gate, found in almost every store across the country, in my opinion, its a low quality substandard gate. I purchased this product in lieu of the others available. The low price attracted me and I think I just wanted to have it on hand in case I...

This Evenflo Gate is great for young babies, who either can't climb, or won't climb [either being afraid or other] and for small pets.

It is rather easy for a child to climb over. It doesn't fit all doorways. Some of my doors are rather small and it doesn't fit.

But it does stay once you get it up. It doesn't fall easily even if shaken or pushed against. It is even a little bit hard for an adult to open sometimes. And It was the cheapest on the shelf.

I bought 3 at one time. If I had only bought one, when I returned to buy the other ones I would eventually need, I probably would not have bought the...

Okay I am one who believes in giving every company the benefit of the doubt. The Evenflo Position & Lock gate violates every principle however of intelligent design. My wife bought this and admittedly this is a low end line for Evenflo. However after repeated efforts, I could not get the gate to properly install in a 36" entryway between two rooms.

I am not sure why a good company like Evenflo would even sell a gate like this? To compete with foriegn offerings perhaps. At any rate, the design simply does not work and we had to resort to using packing tape to lock the gate at a particular size...

I use this gate to block the bottom of the stairway in my home when we're downstairs.  I have a climbing toddler, and he can't climb this gate.  It is lightweight and fairly easy to use.  You do have to pay attention to what you're doing when you put it up, but that goes for everything you do when you have a toddler.  The gate is affordable, expandable (I sometimes use it in my diningroom entry--4ft), and dependable.  I always give it a good push to make sure it's in place and once you've locked it in place good and proper it's pretty solid.  It won't work in all doorways.  Make sure that... review »

I have hade to travel many times over the years since the first of my three kids was born 7 years ago. When traveling I never know exactly how things are going to be where we are at, and how safe things will be for my kids. I love this gate because it fits easily into both car trunks and the space behind the last seat in my mini-van, allowing me to take it everywhere. I have used this gate at friends and relatives homes, in hotels, many different places of worship. I do warn that this gate should not be used at the top of stairs, only an installable gate should be used there. For all other places... review »

I have tried many different baby gates to keep my dogs out of rooms they cant go in.  This is the only one who stands up to 2 labs, a great dane and a hyper mutt!!!  It is sturdy enough that even the four of them together cant knock it down.  It is easily put up and moved around if need be.  I would definately get another one of these over any other brand.
