Query: Poorly designed and expensive to boot.

First, to those who complain about the bar across the bottom: hey, people, that's the only way you can get a tension-type gate to work. Without it, the gate would fall apart when you open the door. If you don't like it, you have to get the type that you screw into the walls. Now for the bad stuff. The gate does not work at the maximum advertised width, like 37 1/2 inches without extensions, etc. The gate is absolutely dangerous. If you set the tension per instructions with the gauge included, your 11-month old WILL open it. With the handle locked in place, all you have to do is pull up on the door and it is unlatched. My son can't even walk yet and he opened it. He pulls himself up to his feet against the gate. Then he lifts up on the bars, which frees it, and since he is leaning against it... kaboom! Not a good scenario at the top of the stairs, folks!
