Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate

Pros: easy set-up, pressure mount, fits uneven spaces, lightweight, inexpensive

Cons: not the strongest or highest barrier

The Bottom Line: If you want a lower pressure-mount gate, this one comes with my highest recommendation.

Review: When Kid began to crawl and explore more around our house, we made the necessary trip to Babies R’ Us to purchase some safety gates. We wanted to keep the hardware mounted gates to a minimum, and one of the gates we picked up for this purpose was the ...

Pros: pretty, cost, sturdy & strong

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: This gate is DEFINITELY worth the purchase if you are gate shopping!

Review: When it came time to buy a safety gate for the bottom of our staircase, my husband recommended the Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate. I have to admit, I wasn't very picky... I figured that if it would work at the bottom of our staircase and was the right ...

Pros: Cost, function, reputation, light weight and easy to travel.

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Safety 1st Perfect Fit gate: highly recommended. It provides flexibility and peace of mind.  Don't take your eyes off the kids, but when you must, it's a big help.

Review: As any family with a curious infant or toddler knows, there are some areas of the house that you just can't childproof.  That's where the Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate comes in.  As our daughter began crawling, then walking, then running, and ...

Pros: great price, works anywhere

Cons: screw holes, older people may not be able to open

The Bottom Line: perfect gate for imperfect locations and at a great price.

Review: Because the "contact" side of this gate can be adjusted in two indepenent spots you are able to install this gate in a location where you lack two parallel surfraces. At first, this may appear a head scratcher. Think OLD HOUSE. Walls shift, floors ...

Pros: Both pressure/hardware mounting options, moderate price, one-handed operation, frosted panels

Cons: You don't have a clear view of the other side, difficult to adjust length

The Bottom Line: Th Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate is perfect for keeping babies in or pets out... it even keeps the bottom line in its place.

Review: Seeing that I used to teach higher level mathematics, I have a pretty good grasp of how equations work. This includes the equation: baby stairs = bad. Now, this problem never bothered me before because I was missing a crucial part of the equation – ...

Pros: Easy to use handle. Locks in place well, even on uneven walls.

Cons: Must be lifted/moved. Gets in the way of children allowed to have house access.

The Bottom Line: All in all i like the Safety first gate. It doesn't invite climbing, is easier to use than most and holds well.

Review: Our home now has four gates. We have two of these, the Safety First Perfect Fit Gate. Not a Gate? Though this gate does come with optional hinges it seems to me, from observing other households, that most people do not use them. The fact ...

Pros: secure, clean and simple design, easy to move and put back

Cons: works only with one irregular-sided surface

The Bottom Line: I would recommendend this product for use between a flat surface and an irregular one.  Not for top of stairs.

Review: I needed a gate I could move at any time of the day and put back later. It is between a THIN iron rail, and a wall with moulding on the bottom that juts out an inch or so. A bit complex for the average gate! This one fits the bill, and at 8 mos. pregnant ...

Pros: Super durable, good for pets, sturdy

Cons: Minor wall damage, tricky locking mechanism

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for people using for pets, becuase I have pinched my fingers a couple of times, maybe not too safe for kids.

Review: We purchased 2 of these gates to keep our dogs on our main level. The advertise one handed use and it is pretty much one handed if you have something not super important (like a baby!) in your other hand. If you are using this in the same place all the ...

Pros: sturdy once in place -kinda!

Cons: Not fun to lock into place= not good in a high traffic area

The Bottom Line: There are better gates out there. We found that this one was more trouble than what it was worth.

Review: Baby on the move... This spring my "baby" went from hardly moving forward to "Whoa baby slow down!" Meanwhile of course he is looking less and less like a baby and looking more and more like a little boy/toddler. Our house is a tri-level plus ...

Pros: It's better than no gate on your stairs.

Cons: Made cheaply, keeps coming off wall.

The Bottom Line: I only recommend this gate if you can't find anything else to install properly.

Review: Safety 1st Perfect Fit Gate is not the answer for your gate needs. When my son started crawling we soon realized that we were going to need to install safety gates on the stairs. We needed a safety gate for the bottom of the stairs and one for the top. ...
