This gate is a ok gate. It's not easier than other gates ive had to set up, but it's also not harder to set up. The mesh fabric instead of plastic is ideal for a climbing baby. It's way harder to climb than a gate that has plastic holes or bars.  Its also probably not the most ideal because of that reason if you were going to use it as a dog gate though. The ability to fold it up and put it in a bag like a pack n play or lawn chair is a cute idea. I don't feel that it travels any easier than any of my other gates though.
