Munchkin Easy-Close Metal Gate

Michelle H.

weeThink

Let’s face it--when baby becomes mobile, there are countless things for them to get into. The Munchkin Easy-Close Metal Gate closes on its own so when you’re chasing after your little one you don’t have to *also* worry about it being left open accidentally. One key feature is this gate doesn’t require drilling, making it super easy to install, and with it’s wide opening you won’t restrict the doorways of your home too much. It’s also tall enough that baby won’t be able to reach the childproof lock at the top any time soon.

The Catch: Some note that the latch starts to stick as time passes.

    I do really liek this gate, we have 3 of them up in my house. I do feel the one gate we use the most has had to be replaced approx every 7-8 months. Apr 29, 2020

  • Latch broke on gate in no time making it unsafe. Mar 11, 2020

  • We have 3 of these in our home and love them. Easy to pass through the gate m, but complicated enough that our 10 month old can’t open them. Installation was a breeze. Feb 26, 2020

    Works well and feels safe and secure. The lock isn’t too complex which is good so my older kids can get through without my help. Feb 25, 2020

  • I used this gate to block off our basement stairs. I love it so much I continue to use it even though my children are big enough to go up and down the stairs safely. Feb 17, 2020

    • Talia L.

    • holyoke, Massachusetts

  • Stellar safety gate for our steep stairs. Feb 08, 2020

  • These are awesome! We have 2 sets of stairs in our house, and still have these in place for my 2yo. They're easy enough to open while still preventing littles from going through. Feb 07, 2020

  • Got the job done but eventually my 2 year old figured it out. Also left holes in our wall :/ Feb 01, 2020

  • We have a couple of these. Theyre easy to set up and I love how they swing and lock shut and I dont have to close and lock it behind me. Jan 29, 2020

  • Great hate but my sons figured out how to open it!!! Apr 27, 2020

    • Sami M.

    • Redondo Beach, California

    This gate has been great at the bottom of our stairs. It has been successful in keeping my 16 month old daughter from climbing up the stairs. It's not too difficult for adults to open either. Mar 29, 2020

  • Not an exciting item, but I know we will be using it a ton to block the stairs as baby learns to walk. Also useful for separating from dogs when necessary. Feb 19, 2020

    • Dani R.

    • Allentown , Pennsylvania

    It has lasted us a very long time very durable Feb 19, 2019

    • Ruby G.

    • Spanaway , Washington

    We decided to “upgrade” our gate system, with wondering-clever toddlers the “basic” wooden gates where becoming a hassle and left marks on our walls. Should’ve bought this in the beginning! Apr 06, 2018

    • Anca C.

    • Wood Dale, Illinois

    easy to install and pretty sturdy. my kid has been trying to climb it, push it, pull it. but no success. definitely worth the money Feb 21, 2018

  • Works like a baby gate should. It has held up really well and is very easy to move through. Feb 09, 2018

  • We bought one of these for our old house so our kiddos couldn't come in the kitchen. The latch worked great and my Son never could figure it out. It's made well and took a beating with my 2 year old. Dec 17, 2017

    • Nina M.

    • Jacksonville, Florida

    Got this forboth sisters when they had their LOs, shower is next week and I've asked them both to return the favor! Both still use theirs and won't give them up, lol! Oct 27, 2017

  • we use this for the top and bottom of our stairs and its helped make everything so much easier! Sep 15, 2017

  • Easy installation/removal - wish the gate was a little more secure at the door opening, baby shaking it makes it seem not extremely sturdy, but enough to do the job May 18, 2017

    • Jenn M.

    • Northeast, Wisconsin

    Functional, but the closure wears out fast with extended use. May 13, 2017

    • Litchfield, Connecticut

    Keeps babu out and is easy for mom and dad to open. Great quality, sturdy gate! Feb 09, 2016
