We also like the double-locking system. A smart and excellent safety feature – easy for an adult to operate, difficult for a child to open.

This Munchkin locks easily with a push to close mechanism. Note: this easy-to-close feature is convenient to use, but it is not an auto-close gate.

We also like the flexibility to set the door to open to the right or left.

This Munchkin extra-wide baby gate with easy-close door takes the number one spot in our best overall baby gate. It is ideal for an extra-wide 22″ walk-through – you get easy in-and-out access. It is suitable for doorways, hallways, top of stairs and bottom of stairs installation.
