Regalo Safety 24"-192" Metal 2-in-1 Super Wide Baby Gate & Play Yard

Love this gate. Super nice quality, easy to install and I love that they offer so many different lengths to match exactly what you need. The fact that you have the option to have it stay open is cool. I'm getting a little tired of the pull up method of opening though and it's very tough on my older kid that needs to be able to open the gate himself but I suppose that is the security of it and overall the quality is great and I love it.

My 88 yr old father just moved in with me ... and with Dad came his 50lb dog. Now, I live in an apartment and I have 2 cats and I a granddaughter. This dog has, shall we say, minimal training and she's been known to nip when she feels threatened. So I kinda have my hands full with this dog. Sadly my father and step mom adopted this dog and she would have been a project for a seasoned dog trainer.... they were definitely in over their heads with her as they are NOT dog trainers. She has always been wary of strangers and nips at their legs/etc if they turn their back on her.... bad enough with a grown adult, but if she does this with my Granddaughter or her friends, we're going to have trouble. She has almost no exposure to kids so that alone is a pretty big challenge. On top of that she's got a chase urge and hasn't been around cats in about 8 years. One of my cats is a real "scaredy cat" who hides if you look at him sideways just to complicate matters. I have a lot of work ahead of me. When I knew I was going to have to take her on along with my father, I started researching gate options. I need something that will hold her in (thankfully she doesn't test these things though!), while allowing my father to get through with minimal struggle. His mobility is pretty compromised (he uses a Rollator) and he's a fall risk so he has to be able to get through easily. I realized I likely needed more than one gate. And I realized that until the dog was here, I really wasn't sure exactly how it would work out. When I saw this gate/yard, I knew it was my answer to my problems. I have tons of options with this so as things (hopefully) change I can alter how we set this up. After trying multiple configurations I ended up with 4 panels at one end of the long living room to lock the dog in both when we go out (she will crap if left in a large enough space) as well as a place to put her if we have company to keep them safe while she's learning her manners. We have 3 more panels at the other end of the room to keep her in with us most of the time while allowing the cats a safe space where they can get to their litter and food. (It's ended up also being great for keeping one of my cats from escaping through my sliding door when I'm Bar-B-Quing!) The only thing I haven't used is the actual gate because my father's Rollator won't go through it, but that's ok - it may come in handy in the future. We will be moving to a house soon, so I love that I can take this with us and adapt it to the new space. Dealing with the issue of this dog has probably caused me more stress than any other part of the move... or at least it's right up there with the more stressful parts, because I'm realistic that if she so much as nips at one of my Granddaughter's friends or even an adult that she could well be impounded and even put down. The burden of this feels bigger than the "burden" of dealing with my ailing father. So I'm really relieved that we have this in place now. It's working great! She's already learning to not chase the braver cat who comes and goes through the gap we left so he could get to the Living Room. She also seems to be ok with staying in the smaller space when we go out. I honestly couldn't have chosen a better option for my needs. This thing is quite sturdy yet light for such a big set. There are seriously sooo many ways you can configure this thing depending on your needs. And the price, for a gate with 8 panels, is amazing. I was getting quite discouraged when I started researching for a gate because I really didn't know exactly how I would set things up and I didn't want to have to buy 4 different gates (or more) to figure out what would work. So if you have any kind of situation where you need to separate groups of animals easily and quickly, this is your gate. If you have an awkward shaped space to cordon off, this is your gate. If you are traveling and need to have a movable pen, this is your gate. If you have someone who can't get through the standard gate that most of these things have, this is your gate. I'm going to upload photos in the next day or so to show how we have this set up for our current situation. Although I'm a reviewer here I purchased this item at full retail price as a PERSONAL purchase and am reviewing this because I want to. I have not been asked to write a review and I have no personal connection with the seller. As usual my opinions and experiences are a real and true reflection of my experience with the product. I hope my review helps you in your purchase decisions!

This gate, Regalo Safety 24"-192" Metal 2-in-1 Super Wide has definitely served it purpose. I bought this product January 2012, and has used it several times. I recently used the gate as a pen for 1 of my dogs to heal a pulled muscle. This is a great product. I have used this product with large dog, and cats with success. The height is perfect, along with the gate is easy to use. Even with the plastic connectors on each individual panel, I've had no problems. I have also used this around a wood stove, and again it worked perfectly to keep children, dogs, and cats. I would highly recommend this gate for anyone. The panels can be taken apart to make smaller barriers. The ease, sturdiness, and convert ability to different lengths is perfect!

We have a dog who might be the most well trained, well behaved, obedient dog ON THE PLANET - - UNTIL the UPS/Amazon truck goes by (or--GOD HELP US!--pulls into our driveway.) Then, all bets are OFF. No treat, no command, no power on earth will prevent him from going full on CUJO--raised hackles, deafening barking, slavering mouth. And it was a performance that would invariably take place on my brand new, long awaited (we're talking DECADES here, people) and pretty GD expensive leather couch. Or, when he couldn't get to that (we tried a LOT of strategies for keeping him off. Only the ridiculousness in the last photo did the trick) he'd have his scratching paws on my side table. Once, he actually jumped like a deranged billy goat right up onto my coffee table! Things had become desperate. Not to mention downright unattractive. I needed a gate. A nice-looking one. A BIG one. After doing A LOT of research for a gate that would fit my requirements: unobtrusive/attractive, black or dark brown--NOT white, able to be folded up and tucked away easily, STURDY, lightweight, and most importantly, big enough and able to be contorted into the shape I was imagining. All WITHOUT a break the bank price tag. I looked at many MANY gates. Mostly made of "wood". I use quotes because I would always find reviews with pictures that showed a gate that after being knocked over once was cracked (pressboard will do that!) and either ruined or requiring an ugly patch job. Most didn't have hinges that would swing in either direction (or that locked into place.) NONE allowed you to remove panels and NONE allowed you to either mount it in an opening or connect the ends forming a pen, as well as have it stand up on its own. And anything even 2/3 the size of this gate was in the $130 range. WAY to much money for CRAP. This gate is (almost!) PERFECTION! It ticks off all my boxes, does all of the above, looks WAY better than even the nicest "wood" gates I looked at, AND was under $100! My "almost" - - and my only reason for not giving it an enthusiastic 5 stars - - is that, as you can see in my pics, two of the spindles arrived bent. To be fair, this is possibly - - even likely - - something that happened in transit. And while I'm considering returning for a replacement I could easily see myself just keeping it, as the slightly bent spindles are largely unnoticeable, have zero impact on its function and - - miracle of miracles! - - pooch is no longer able to get to my couch! Equally as thrilling, I am able to SEE my new couch, and no longer have a living room that looks like a NYC building construction site (all the cardboard had needed was some graffiti and some posters/signs to complete the look... 😒) Buy this gate. You won't regret it (and YOUR spindles will most likely be straight. 👍🏻)

This is the 3rd type of baby gate we have tried, and it is by far the easiest to set up and use. My understanding was you could install it using tension like many other baby gates, and the screwed in wall mounts were just additional support. Maybe you can and I just didn't try hard enough because I wanted to screw the mounts into the wall, so my only suggestion is be prepared to do that. It was very easy to do. Also, if you want the gate to be any length besides the furthest extension, be prepared that it will have 2 bends and will not be flat at various lengths. Seems like it's sturdy and stable and a good height. Super highly recommend!

Purchased this gate for my toddler. It is a great size and it is very easy to assemble. This gate is very easy to fold up when you’re not using it and folds up to a very compact size. The height of it is perfect for a toddler and it is very sturdy in case you’re toddler decides to start shaking. Would highly recommend.

We have used these gates for 4 years and they have stood up to the abuse of 2 toddlers. My favorite thing about these gates is that I can used a few links in several different spots throughout my house. For example, we had 2 sections in 2 different archways in my living room Then an additional section to separate part of my living room from another for our baby to have a space away from our toddler . With a little creativity you can use these gates for more than just a connected circle or a single straight line. They are easy to install, take apart, move, disassemble. The only time the locking part of the gate opened unexpectedly is when our 3 year old ran full force into it. Other than that both our kids could never get it open. We have a few different regalo products and we would recommend them to others!

I needed a large baby gate (122”) to section off our living room for my crawling infant. I was hoping to find a pressure mounted gate, but couldn’t find anything that wide that didn’t attach to the wall. Nonetheless, it feels very sturdy and it looks nice. It was very easy to install though you need to make sure you are attaching it to a flat wall. We have large baseboards so I had to mount it slightly higher to get an even surface, but it still worked. The only thing I struggle with is the latch. It is very hard to move with one hand, which is pretty typical when holding a baby and needing to open/close the gate. It took me a while to get used to opening it with one hand. It is easier to push the latch open rather than try to pull it open. Now that I am used to it, it can easily be done; but I do wish it had the easy lift handle that other Regalo pressure mount gates have. Overall, it is a good gate that works well for us. I wish there was a slightly cheaper option, but it is good quality for what you pay.

Very easy to use, it covers very good length. Very handy for multiple usage. i found right solution to create a gate/cage for my dog. Excellent product.

Perfect get

Bought for containing a puppy not a baby - brilliant product and could not have survived without it. Would buy again but hopefully I won't need to!

Funcional

Great. Unlike usual baby gate this can make into C or U shape .
