We got the first one last October and it lasted a month before the joints started to break

That said, my daughter stands and shakes it at 9 months old and its sturdy

Lasted 4 months before my 13 month old broke it.

My son is 9.5 months old and very strong

It perfect for our needs concerning a very active 18 month old who's curiosity was leading him into troublesome situations

It took my 3 year old and 1 year old 4 months to break pieces off this gate, leaving it useless

Thought it was very versatile with wall mounts as well as the pen feature until 6 months after putting it up my 16 month old son broke through it

My son is 21 months and has been shaking this and pushing it all over the place

This gate was great until it broke barely lasted 3 months

lasted about 3 months for over $100....not happy.

They started to broke in less than 2 months

n’t try to break through it or attempt to jump it

t know how well it would work with a toddler as far as steadiness or age appropriate but for my use with my dogs it is great

n’t get them loose

n’t hurt theirselves
