The verdict
When you need a second (or third) gate and don't want to think hard about it, the Regalo Easy Step is the reliable default. It's all-steel, tensions firmly in standard doorways, and the walk-through door with a pressure handle is easy for grown-ups to operate. The trade-off is a taller bottom bar you'll step over and a latch that's more basic than premium gates. Don't put it at the top of stairs, and if you love a self-closing door you'll want to spend up for the Cumbor.
What we love
- ✓Very affordable, easy to buy in multiples
- ✓All-steel frame feels sturdy and stable
- ✓Simple pressure handle opens with one push
- ✓Fits standard doorways and comes with an extension
Keep in mind
- –Tall bottom bar is easy to trip over
- –Door doesn't auto-close
- –Pressure-mount only, not for the top of stairs
