Avg Customer Rating: 
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.

Customer Reviews
Hands Free Indeed
This is a great product. Easy to install and sturdy. Very practical and easy to use. No complaints. It also looks nice and functions well. For the price this has to be one of the best gates out there.

so far so good
So far so good my two year olds can't get it open. They love to slam it though, and we have had a bit of a problem with closing it since they have been so rough on it. Overall we love it. It is much easier to navigate then our last gate (especially since it goes into the kitchen and I usually have my hands full when I am trying to go through it). We have an old house that probably doesn't have an even doorway and this gate can be adjusted to accommodate that. I would recommend it to a friend.

Best gate I've ever seen
This is, indeed, an excellent gate. It arrived in perfect condition, too, which is not always the case on shipped items.
This gate is sturdy, easy to install, and performs well. I bought it for my pet ferrets. I modified it by adding wood paneling (since ferrets would have no problem slipping through the bars) and it has been performing well. I did notice that you really need to push it shut with the knee pad or the bottom doesn't latch as readily, but that's no big deal. It clicks loudly when latched, which is a good thing, since it helps you know you've got it shut right.
So far no ferrets have escaped through it (since we added the wood). There IS a small hole under the foot pedal that a tiny ferret might try to use as an escape route, but so far, none of mine have done more than peek through the opening.
This gate has definitely improved things, as stepping over the gate a zillion times a day was ruining my hip. This is a well-made gate!

The First Years Gate - Excellent Quality!!
This gate was the one I selected based on reviews and I am glad I did. My 10month old cannot access the kitchen and my 5 year old nephew had a hard time accessing as well, which was the point :-)
Excellent quality! Very happy with it and would recommend it.
