Munchkin Easy-Close Metal Gate

Anca C.

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.

  • Easy to use, sturdy, and looks great. This gate was perfect and I would buy it again if we needed one for another part of our home. Oct 03, 2018

    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

    • 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

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