Evenflo Versatile Play Space Adjustable Play Area, 8-Panel (Cool Gray)

Excellent play space for our giant baby! Hes 10 months old and 26 pounds, he stands as tall as this gate, is cruising and banging around on the gate, and still cant get out. I see people have complained about it being lightweight and moveable, and yes if it was on carpet he would push it around but there are rubber pads on the feet and they hold fast on our hardwood floors. We even put down a rug under it so he has padding and he cant move it off the rug. To address it being built like a ladder, yes the detail is ladder-like, but the holes are only big enough for his big toe. He could never use the side to climb, the spaces just arent big enough. Youll want to watch putting any toys in here they can climb on though lol. The indivual gates are, in fact, one hand release and just as easy to snap back together. I only took off one star for ease of assemby because the thing is so big that when youre first trying to set it up you have to unfold it completely and its so long its pretty unweildy, but after you get it into the shape you want it its perfect. Weve used it as a gate as well as an enclosed space, and its obviously sturdier as an enclosure but itll do for a gate if its what you have.

Gate is easy to set up, flexible in spaces it can be set up in, and somewhat easy to get in and out of (difficult to open with one hand). Its a little flimsy and doesnt stand up to pressure at all, so you do need at least partial support from a wall or something sturdy to avoid movement or a fall. Its worked for us, wedged between our couch/ottoman on one side and between a chair and cabinet on the other and gives our little one free reign of the living room.

Review is based use for our DOG. please note this is not a review for HUMAN use. Purchased out of the need to contain a medium size post-surgery dog for 2+ months. Though any plastic gate is inherently fugly, this one is less so by virtue of not being multicolored. The off-white color is as pictured and the gate design somehow feels less industrial than some Ive used as baby (not pet) corrals in the past. Maybe Im just used to looking at it, but it doesnt stand out as much as some of the gates Ive seen. Added the 2 panel extender so that we had the needed 6x6 space in any configuration so Dog in Cone of Shame could take a few steps without bashing into the gate. Worth the money to buy as a set, as purchasing the 2 panel extender separately was more expensive than if Id added it to the cart with the original purchase. Food for thought. Dog is not the type to rear up, shove, claw, chew, or otherwise bust through a barricade. So I cant speak to durability in that regard. However it has held up to heavy daily use. Each individual section has a brown push button at the top, that allows you to open that section to swing like a door. It is really handy to have this on every section so no matter how it is positioned, we can easily help our dog (whos also enjoying wearing a Cone of Shame in addition to doggie isolation) stumble through any section to get out for a potty break. Now that dog is allowed a little more space, weve also taken sections apart to use as a doorway barricade which I find really handy. The gate is the slightest bit flimsy-as in, I dont know that this would stand up to an aggrieved 18 month old or a more determined pet. One thing I would note if youre considering it for human use is that the gate patterns are a diamond shape. I wonder if little fingers and toes would find this pinchy as they attempted escape. Pic attached shows just how lovely your home could be if you have a dog with a Cone of Shame AND a baby gate! Lucky you!

It is a littler bigger than I anticipated but to be fair I based that assumption off the picture and didn’t look at the size. It is everything we needed/expected. Gives the little one room to play but contains her. Kind of awkward to fold for storage but you get used to it.

Excuse the mess! We’re renovating our house on a tight timeline and couldn’t get anything done because the baby starting crawling, climbing, and walking, and needed constant supervision by one of us. This corral has been a game changer for us! Our 10 month old walks around it (holding onto the sides), climbs all over it, and can play for hours nearby us while we work and interact with her. She loves it! The only time she has nearly pulled down one of the walls is when somebody moved it and didn’t pop out the walls well so there were two pieces in a straight line rather than an octagonal shape (we ordered the two additional pieces). 6 panels worked fine for just her to play in, but when we added the extra two pieces we found that we could get in there with her and play more easily. We rarely open the gates to get inside, we just step over. Neither of us are very tall, and my husband is disabled so it’s doable. I had a fairly big rug and some foam gym mats in storage that cover the areas the rug doesn’t. She has fallen a few times on just the rug and hit her head hard enough to sob, so I would really recommend using a plusher rug or investing in enough spongy gym mats to break your little one’s fall. I’m really pleased with this purchase!

This is perfect for indoor use the feet have rubber bottoms to grip but not damage floors. For outdoor use the feet pop out and the opposite end is sinkable to secure on the lawn. Great for toddlers and small pets. Folds up easy for travel or storing.

I actually ordered this for puppies, not a baby. I liked it for adding to their kennel, added a lot of space! Worked pretty well, but SO light, its hard to keep in place! I would not use for babies crawling age or older for sure. I like that it is easy to connect and disconnect. I do not like that it is very hard to clean though, so many crevices. You need a sprayer in the shower, or hose it off outside. Dont let anything dry on it.

Purchased this product for our mini Schnauzer puppies. Works great and this is their safe spot.

Sometimes a pain in the butt to fold up but thats good! My one year old even leans on it and it doesnt fall over.

Easy to move and adjust. Love that they collapse easily
