Toddleroo by North States - Supergate Ergo Baby Gate: Plastic Baby Gate for Stairs & Doorways - Adjustable Indoor Safety Gate - Made in USA - 26 to 42 Inches Wide - 26 Inches Tall - Sand

I am taking care of my son's dog for a few months and this gate has been a life saver. The dog can't get into the area that she is not allowed. The size is fitting for a true Dalmatian (medium/large dog). The quality of this gate is made from strong plastic. They include several ways to install. In the beginning, I opted to use the spring loading method but found that to be a bit cumbersome for me. I finally screwed it into the wall using the included mounts and that has made my life so much more easier (for me to access). It is a good safety gate since it keeps my room off access to the dog. I have had it up for over a month, with no issues. It is sturdy and gets the job done. For me this has been a good value for the money.

This gate is a textbook example of "you get what you pay for," as it's certainly one of the cheapest options I've found but there's reasons for it. The gate itself feels flimsy, and the locking mechanism can be bypassed by a determined toddler. Installation was also a pain when trying to properly align the inserts that attach to the entrance with the gate. Overall, it does work but it's not bulletproof against toddlers.
