    The product, in the report: The Dreambaby Newport 3 gate (brown). Ours has extenders to fit a wide area. To open the latch, you just slide it open. There is no lift function as our other gates have, and the latch is easily exposed. I have since zip-tied the gate shut. The latch it made out of very cheap plastic as the latch had broken once when one of the kids slammed it shut. They replaced the entire mechanism.

    I had the baby gate closed and was cleaning up. I heard my 14 month old babbling from the other room and saw that had opened the gate. I watched him and he was able to easily open this baby gate by himself. Days earlier we found him going up the steps and thought that one of our other older kids had left the gate open. Now we know that this was the gate that was the issue.

    The product, in the report: DreamBaby Extra Tall Safety Gate, manufactured by Tee-Zee Products LLC PO BOX 1662 Jamestown, NC 27282. 888-271-6959. No manufacture date or other information on product itself, only manufacturer and importer information. Importer: CM Art Para Bebe’ Ltda.

    Today I was coming up my stairs and went to open the baby gate that I had installed two weeks ago. I had installed it exactly as the instructions said to and at the top of my basement stairs. It is clearly stated that this gate can be installed at the top of stairs. There are four plastic cups that bolt to the door frame and on each side of the gate there are two long bolts with threaded plastic pieces that twist the length of the bolt so you can tighten the round threaded pieces creating tension, this puts the threaded piece into the cup and secures it to the wall...or so I thought. You must lift the gate up and pull in the little lever with your thumb at the same time. The gate swings both ways and you have no control over who leaves it which way. As I came up the stairs I had to pull the gate towards me as I pushed in the thumb lever and pulled up. My hand slipped a bit and I ended up pulling on the gate more than I intended to as I did this the gate pulled out of the bolted cup and towards me, I fell backwards and hit the hand rail, fortunately I caught myself and only incurred minor bruises. When I looked at the gate I could clearly see that the bolt was not long enough to support the gate, there was only 1/4 of an inch going into the gate. My doorway is 30” and within the specifications listed for this gate. The cup that attaches to the wall/door frame is not deep enough to keep the plastic round piece that inserts into it from coming out if the gate is pulled on, intentionally or accidentally as in my case. It is not metal nor are the disks that are threaded to go up and down the bolt, it would appear the manufacturer tried to save some money here, which makes no sense as the the rest of this gate is metal. I paid a goodly price for a gate that is a SAFETY product, it clearly is NOT a safe product and should never be used at the top of stairs as it is made right now. Those cups should be steel and the bolt should be much longer, the threaded washers should also be steel. There is a two inch high bar on the bottom that runs the length of the gate, it too is a safety hazard because if you are unaware of it being there, don’t look down, it is very possible to trip on. And when it is at the top of the stairs you are tripping forward. At the top of stairs this gate should not open both ways but only outward into a hallway or other space, never into the stairwell. This product should be recalled and replaced or parts sent to those who purchased it that will ensure its safe use. I am now officially terrified of this gate. I do not have the packaging as it has been in my house for two weeks, so I have no way to return it to Amazon.com where I purchased it. I am concerned with public safety.

    The product, in the report: Dream Baby Extra Tall Pressure Mount Hallway Gate, white with extensions

    The Dream Baby Extra Tall Pressure Mount Hallway Gate does not work properly with the pressure mount. I purchased this gate to stop my toddler from going from the living room into the kitchen. I followed the installation instructions to install the gate without screwing it into my walls. When you attempt to move it back and forth it seems secure. However, today I went to open the gate, the bottom of it got caught, although the top was open. When I tried to pull the opening part of the gate up to open it the gate fell forward with the weight of it pulling me forward. I fell on top of it hurting my knees, my elbow and my back. I just thank God I did not have my daughter walking in front of me or she could have been seriously injured. This gate should not be marketed with just the mounting system because it does not work and can be dangerous.

    The product, in the report: Safety Gate for larger openings

    We own a DreamBaby growing safety gate. It secures a large entry into our kitchen. The gate is manufactured in such a way that my son is able to push his leg through the rails and then he is unable to get his leg out. This has happened several times,but as he gets bigger I fear I will not be able to push his leg out again. The last time this happened there was slight bruising and would like this changed before it becomes a serious injury or problem. Please look into this.
