Ok, so I've had this gate for about a month and I thought it was great because it is very sturdy, and isn't very easy for a toddler to climb over. Well, I usually use it in front of my 2 year old's room door when it's his bedtime and at other times when I need to finish doing things around the house and don't want him to wander where I can't see him. Well, I put it in front of his door tonight and somehow he managed to stick his whole arm into the skinny opening (the handle part that you push down on to lock it). He was crying and it took me a while to get his arm free. I actually thought I was going to have to cut the handle part open! I am never going to use this gate again! I've never had any problems with the few other products I've purchased from them, so I didn't expect this type of thing to occur. I just want other parents out there to know that it CAN be dangerous for some children!!!!
