Too big
I got this product for free from Stellar Panel Product Review. I like that that gate was mesh and easy to see baby, but it it was either too small or to big for where I tried to put it. I tried my son’s room and it wouldn’t fit in the door way. It was also hard to push it in to get in to position to go into the area.

Portable and easy to use!
This gate is very nice for a tension gate. Overall, the range of size and portability makes this gate worth it. Easily used in the home and traveling. (I do not use this at the bottom or top of stairs as it is not safe).

Great Affordable Gate for Wide Hallways.
This is a great wide gate to fit larger hallways. I love that it doesn’t need any permanent hardware on the walls and the top and bottom expand independently to accommodate baseboards. The pads don’t mark the walls even when being slid into place along the walls.
We have been using it for both our Golden Retriever and 21 month old daughter.

Awesome gate!
I've been looking for a baby gate for a while. I have strange, wide hallways and door openings in my home. Because of this, it has been very hard finding a gate that could extend long enough. I was very excited to see if this gate would finally be the one for us. This gate is very simple to set up and surprisingly lightweight. The instructions are quick and very easy to...

Divider not gate
I received this product for free to review from the Stellar product testing panel. I first had my son who is 7 try to put up the gate while I occupied my daughter who is under 2. He was unable to figure it out. Then I tried, while having two kids running and screaming as most mothers do, I was also unable to figure it out. My husband finally came home and was able to g...

Simple and Versatile
We set up this gate between our kitchen and dining area. We previously had a gate that opened and closed there, and honestly the shorter fabric gate we can walk over has been more useful. We have a lot of wide openings in our house so we appreciate how far this extends- but in many cases it’s still too short for us to use. There was some trouble with the initial set up ...

Sturdy and Wide
I was given this baby gate to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was looking for a baby gate that would fit with wide door frames, was sturdy, and easy to clean. This gate has all of that and more. The Pros: fits wide frames, sturdy and durable - my son really pushed all over this thing and it held firm, easy to clean even with just a spot clean, functi...

Soft and Wide Baby Gate
I want to start by saying thank you the the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this gate to try. This gate has solved my toddler corralling needs! I have peace of mind knowing my toddler can have a safe place to play while being blocked off from busy rooms in our household. The gate set up easily in minutes without any help! It is also compact enough to take t...

Portable gate that takes up minimal storage space
The Evenflo Soft n’ Wide gate is very portable! Unlike other bulky gates, this gate comes apart to become compact, making it a reasonable travel gate (think AirBnB or a trip to the grandparent’s house). No more having to find space to store all those panel gates. Assembling takes a few minutes and only requires 1 person. I was able to quickly put it together and blo...

Evenflo Soft and Wide Gate
Overall, this is a nice quality room divider gate. The fabric seems sturdy, but it’s hard to say how the mesh would hold up over time. My 19 month old enjoyed running his little hands across it- it doesn’t seem all that easy to clean- if his hands happened to have something sticky on them I’m not sure I’d be able to get the mesh thoroughly clean. Initial setup (getting ...

Amazing option for travel!
I received this as part of the Stellar Review Panel. This baby gate is super compact when stored and easy to travel with. We visited my parents, who have a wider staircase, and we were able to pop this together easy breezy. I like the design and the fabric is an added bonus. I’m excited to use this in our own home, and have it as an easy option for road trips and visiti...

The Evenflo Soft Wide Gate was incredibly easy to install and easily placed the gate where it needed to be. This gate is able to be put in large door areas, the door area in which I am placing in majority of the time is 60" wide. The gate is sturdy as long as you have tightened up the bars to be secure. I use this for my baby so he does not go up the stairs and to ke...

Great flexible multi-use baby gate
The Soft and Wide Baby Gate is an excellent gate that serves more than one purpose. Of course it's great to keep your little ones corralled in one room or away from certain areas of your home - but it also good for pets too.
The gate is flexible and easy to set up. Just insert the bars into the gate mesh and extend the ends to the desired length and you're done. I rea...

Great fireplace barrier!
When I first received the soft fabric baby gate from the stellar panel, I was excited then quickly got worried and disappointed that it wasn’t really a gate as there was nothing to open and close or go through it. Well, then suddenly I realized it was great for places where I didn’t want the baby to reach so I installed it in front of fireplace glass door (we don’t use ...

Good Product - but not a fit for me.
I wasn't able to give this product a 5 star review because this baby gate just is not a fit for my lifestyle right now. I'll give you a little background. I have a 75 lb dog, a 21 month old, and am 7 months pregnant. We use a few different gate styles in our house to keep our child and dog out of trouble during the day! I thought this gate might be perfect because we ha...
