It also advises not to install the gate at the top of stairs and specifies use for children aged 6 to 24 months and pets weighing 4.5 kg to 18 kg.
Who is it for?
A good fit for

Less suited to
- Anyone needing a gate installed at the top of stairs.

The aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a notable share are one-star and the overall spread is mixed. Ratings alone do not explain the reasons. For a retractable gate, buyers should weigh that uncertainty alongside the need for drilled mounting and the conflicting width claims.
