This is easy to install if you have strong hands. Unfortunately, the gate is not very wide so the extension wings are necessary--this can double your price. Regardless, this is the best gate out there. I love that I can carry my sleeping baby while opening the gate. I simple click of the foot is all I need. Works great for the cat too--he is kept where I want him.

Full User Summary
This is a very popular baby gate and there are several reasons it sells so well. Pros: - Very Easy and Intuitive Installation. - Sturdy Metal Constructions(I wouldn't bother with plastic or wood gates). - Hands-free feature is incredibly convenient; the gate is operated by a foot pedal that only adults and older children can activate. - Pressure mounted so no need to drill holes or screws in your wall or doorway Cons: - You will need an extension for doorways over 34 inches. Many competitor models can accomodate wider doorways without an extension piece. As an aside, I wouldn't use this on top of a stairway. You should only use a gate secured by bolts or other hardware.

Strengths:	easy to use when carrying children or groceries, Easy to install
Weaknesses:	very expensive if you have to add on the extension parts. I have had to buy both sides and they end up costing as much as the rest of the gate.

This is the best gate I have used and I have used several. I know have 2 of these in my house. I actually use it to keep my destructive cat where I want her and they are perfect for this. Foot release is just stron enough for children not to use but easy enough for adults.
