Regalo Easy Step Extra Tall Walk Thru Gate - Extra Tall Safety Gate

In this review of the Regalo Easy Step Extra Tall Walk Thru Gate the bottom line is simple: this gate is for families who need a high, sturdy barrier for doorways or hallways and who may also want to contain pets. The single biggest reason to buy is the extra tall 36in height, which gives better coverage against toddlers who try to climb and provides more peace of mind compared with standard-height gates. Installation can be pressure-mounted or permanently wall-mounted using the included hardware, and the gate's walk-through door makes everyday use practical.

Key Features

• Extra tall design: At 36in tall the gate offers added protection against climbing toddlers and taller pets.
• Adjustable width: Expands to fit openings between 29 and 36.5in so it works in many doorways and hallways.
• Two mounting options: Includes a pressure mount kit with rubberized tension knobs and a wall mount kit with four wall cups and hardware for a permanent fit.
• Walk-through convenience: The gate features a walk-through door with a latch so adults can pass without removing the whole gate.
• Certified safety: Certified to JPMA and ASTM standards and includes multiple safety-lock features for child protection.
• Extension kit included: Comes with a 6in extension kit and additional spindle rods so you can tailor the fit without buying extras.

Who It's For

The gate is best for parents of mobile infants 6-24 months who need a taller barrier than typical gates provide, and for pet owners who want to keep dogs or cats out of certain rooms. Its height and included hardware make it a sensible choice where a secure, semi-permanent installation is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include people with openings narrower than 29in or wider than 36.5in, and buyers who require a gate rated specifically for top-of-stairs use; the manufacturer warns against using this gate at the top of stairs to prevent falls.
