Product Description
Rarely does a mom or dad make it through a day without thinking they could use an extra set of hands. So First Years designed the next best thing - a safety gate that doesn't require any hands at all! But even though it's simple for an adult to just press on the pedal and walk through, it's too difficult for a baby. The gate fits all standard doorways 29" to 34" wide, and, with use of the Gate Extension Kit (sold separately) will also fit other openings up to 44" wide. The pressure-mounted design won't damage walls or doorways. An audible click lets you know the gate has locked.
Amazon.com Product Description
Because of its simple "knee-knocker" mechanism, this Hands Free Gate can do exactly what the name implies: be opened without having to use your hands. Any parent occupied with little ones and all of their necessities will quickly recognize this as a huge benefit. To operate, simply press on the pedal with your toes and then bump the knee plate with your knee. Closing is just a nudge in the opposite direction; you will hear a click when the latch has caught, offering peace of mind that it’s secure again.
 |
| The convenient foot pedal is easy for adults, but difficult for children, to open. |
 |
| Adjustable pressure mounts don’t require screws and won’t mark up your walls. |
Before you buy, there are two things to be aware of. One, the actual opening for parents, kids, and/or pets to walk through is only about 18 inches wide. Two, if you want to use this in a doorway and be able to close the door, the foot pedal sticks out too far to allow this. For use with children up to 24 months.
- You will receive either an arched or flat topped gate
- Foot-pedal operated
- Gate swings open in both directions
- Gate will fit openings up to 39" with one extension kit and 44" with two extension kits (sold separately)
- This gate is not intended for use at the top of stairs

It combines the security of a permanent mount with the relative ease of installation and occasional portability of pressure-mounted models.I had two irregular doorways to fill in with child gates so our scootching 13-month old could play safely in the area. For one large opening I used the SuperYard Gate, which is a decent all-plastic telescoping gate with permanent-mounting rails, and for the other I used the First Years hands-free with a single extension. After seeing how secure the First Years was, and how incredibly east it was to install the extensions, even though I'm happy with the SuperYard Gate, I wish I had bought two First Years Hands-Free, The operation is really cool -- you step on a pedal, and knee the thing open. It works in both directions! I was skeptical the pedal was baby-proof, but letting my son... Read more  The manufacturer commented on this review( What's this?)

We appreciate the feedback and your helpful hints for other Hands Free Gate owners. 316 of 319 people found the following review helpful Good gate - see my comparisons with two others, This review is from: The First Years Hands Free Gate (Baby Product) After trying 3 different gates (that all had high ratings on Amazon), this wasn't my favorite - but is still a good gate. I just preferred some of the features of the others. If it had a wider gate opening, I would have given it a 5 star rating. I turned my home into my own version of a baby gate showroom to figure out which one I wanted, so here's my take on three different gates.I think they are all pretty good gates, it just depends on your situation and what features you're looking for. The key features that ended up making a difference to me were 1) the width of the gate opening and 2) the latch mechanism First Years - Hands-Free Gate ----------------------------- cost $50 & extensions $15 / gate is 32" Tall / fits 29"-34" doorway width / 1.5" bar to step over / gate opening 17" - My gripe with this gate was primarily because the gate opening is only 17" wide! I'm 5'8" and I felt like I was going to have to really pay attention...

The First Year's Baby Gate seemed to have the features we needed at a fair price, so I bought one. As you can see in the video, putting it together was fairly easy and it seems to be of very good quality. We've been using it on our bedroom door for about six months and though it gets a lot of basic use (we don't have any toddlers swinging on it,) it is holding up just fine. In the video I tried to cover the basics of assembly, installation and use, as well as addressing some of the common concerns like the height of the threshold and whether a child or dog can open it. Though it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that the more expensive units have, like an auto-closing feature, it is solidly made, opens and closes smoothly and stays closed when...
