That fact that there are no tools needed with this expandable gate had me sold. Easy to put up & down yet extremely durable and able to withstand a wild toddler ! Folds up nice and small so it’s easy for travel too- you can literally have it up in seconds. It’s a nice mesh material (unlike the old school hard plastic) so if baby bumps their head into it - it’s no big deal. 10 out of 10 stars from me !!!
