Quick and Easy Installation
The Soft and Wide Gate installs quickly and easily with no tools. Clear markings on the knobs ("ADJUST," "IN," "OUT") indicate how to contract the tubes. And the pressure mounting means zero to minimal alteration or damage to doorways. Once installed, the gate also smoothly uninstalls, an option that's great once baby has gone to bed for the night, or when you're traveling, either to play dates or on vacation.Excellent for Light Traffic Areas and Irregular Doorways
The Soft and Wide Gate is an ideal choice for those homes with wide entries in light traffic areas, but it's flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of spaces. Because entryways vary in width from house to house, this gate features pressure-mounted rubber bumpers that adjust individually.
Additionally, with just a few twists of the rail, you can custom fit the Soft and Wide to match any opening. It also includes a padded top rail that provides a soft place for toddlers to pull themselves to a standing position. And parents are sure to appreciate the extra padding when they're climbing over the gate throughout the day. It can be cleaned with a damp sponge, or even machine-washed if necessary (cold water, gentle cycle). For added peace of mind, the Soft and Wide Gate comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
About Evenflo
For over 85 years, Evenflo has been a worldwide leader in the development of innovative infant equipment and is now one of the nation's leading manufacturers of high quality baby care and juvenile products. Evenflo began as a company that solely distributed baby care products. They have now expanded to manufacturing products, like car seats, strollers, high chairs, play yards and activity centers, that meet all the needs of children from birth to the pre-school years.
If all houses had the same width entryways, everyone could use the same child safety gate and never give it a second thought. The reality, of course, is that, like babies, every house and every doorway is different. But baby still wants to explore, and some areas of the house are just not an option. The Evenflo Soft and Wide Gate is an excellent choice for light traffic areas with wide entries. Expanding from 38 inches to 60 inches, this nylon mesh gate feels soft but provides solid protection. The pressure-mounted rubber bumpers adjust individually, so it's possible to, say, have the lower tension bars attached to trim while the upper part is mounted to the wall. Many older houses have uneven settlement, creating varying doorway widths--not a problem for this gate. With a few twists of the rail, the gate can be custom-fit to any opening.
No Hardware, Easy to Adjust and Install
...and uninstall! This means that you can take the gate down quickly and easily when baby's gone to bed. Clear markings on the knobs ("ADJUST," "IN," "OUT") indicate how to expand or contract the tubes. The pressure mounting means that there will be minimal (if any) damage to doorways. The metal frame and nylon meshing are sturdy yet lightweight, making it a natural for travel purposes, as well as storage. Step Right Over
Note that there is no door in this gate, but most adults will be able to step over the 27-inch-tall gate with relative ease. The gate is designed for light-use areas, and definitely not for tops of stairs.
Even Baby Likes This Gate!
Baby can see through the mesh material, but won't be able to find a hand- (or toe-) hold to climb over. The padded top rail provides extra softness for tots who insist on pulling themselves to a standing position--as well as for moms and dads who will be climbing over the gate themselves throughout the day...no barked shins!
Care and Feeding
Remember to wipe down the rubber bumpers with rubbing alcohol before each use. Make sure all four end caps fit securely against wall or doorway opening. One weak link may be all an intrepid toddler needs to break on through to the other side! Excessive pressure can dislodge the gate. Use only for children ages 6 months through 24 months. Not for pets! The nylon mesh can be cleaned with a damp sponge, or even machine-washed if necessary (cold water, gentle cycle). --Emilie Coulter
