the best ever
This is the first gate the actually accomodates our irregular stairway. It is adjustable and so versatile. It is sturdy enough that I haven't even mounted it to the walls. I absolutely recommend this gate. I wish I had known about it with my oldest daughter.

really happy with this gate
this gate makes my life so much easier than a traditional gate at the bottom of the stairs would have been. i did not want to struggle with opening a gate while i was on the bottom step going down, or struggle opening a gate with a baby in my arm or laundry etc when i was on the way up. its so much nicer to have a little 'landing' at the bottom of the stairs to readjust/compose myself before opening the baby gate (also a big help if you have dogs that tend to bum-rush you when you enter/exit a room). The wall mounting hardware is not fixed, so you can avoid floor mouldings,find studs in the wall, etc. This gate can be used in a linear configuration, C-Shape or S-Shape, depending on where you need to put it. more money, but worth it

Great for large expanses
I bought this gate after reading all of the positive reviews. I have to agree, I really like it! It was easy to put together (despite not having instructions) and it feels very stable. Also, measure your space very carefully. I measured wrong and had to order an extra extension. In total, I have the main gate plus three 24" extensions.

Works Great!
We use one of these at the top of our stairs, and one at the bottom. We have a wrought iron railing and this goes all the way around it. It is phenomenal.

Great for bottom of stairs
We've been looking for a gate for the bottom of stairs. The first one we installed went straight across and attached at the stair rail on one side and the wall on the other a couple steps up. Unfortunately, there is no stud in the wall we could use. After 6 months or so, the gate came out of the wall and because of the molly screws, left a gaping hole.

The Kidco Configure Gate is great because it rests on the floor. Having a gate on the floor seems safer than having the gate a couple steps up, especially when carrying a baby, laundry basket, etc. We bought a 24 inch extension to make the configuration work better for our situation. It seems secure - able to withstand our 3-yr-old now and hopefully the baby as she goes from crawling to standing to walking.
