Safe but a little hard to open
Don't get me wrong I love this gate! But it has one issue...it's a bit hard to open while carrying a baby. Durability Had this baby for three years. I keep it on the frame of my three year olds door. Don't worry he still has a baby monitor so all he need do is say my name and I'm there. But he's never crawled over it or destroyed it and that's saying something! Safety I truly doubt any child but a skilled acrobat could cling over this. The spindles are very close together and it's quite tall. My little climber has never made it over. Ease of use It was easy to install, like any other baby gate that you screw in. However, when carrying my child to bed after he fell asleep in my bed, it is very difficult. If you locked it securely just forget about doing it one handed! Leave the child asleep in bed with someone else while you go open it. But I will also say, my child is 3.5 and still can't figure out how to get out. And he can figure lost locks out lol. I have security features on our outside doors but that gate helps me sleep better at night knowing there are two obstacles to prevent him from getting outside.
