+ I love that this doesn't have a bar along the ground, so I don't have to worry about my older daughter tripping over it. It also looks smart.
- A little more pricey. A little tricky to install.

+ Once fitted very easy to use. Much safer without the bottom bar to trip over. The gate is easily removed when not in use.
- A bit fiddley to fit at the top of our stairs as the width was just in the middle of one of the adjustable options. No big deal as was still able to fit it securely.

+ no bar or frames, so it doesn't bother you when you walk thgrough the gate especially when it is used at the stairs
- sometimes when you close the gate the lock does stack, and you have to move the lock manually to get it locked

Mothercare Safest Start Wooden Extending Safety Gate
+ We wanted a Harmer that has to be drilled into a wall as I have seen kids flying down with the gates that got loose when not fixed in properly. Also like that there is no bottom bit in the way so nothing to trip over :)
- Instructions should be a bit clearer, we had to fit the gate lower than directed as otherwise our baby could easily sneeze under the gate, the measuring tape isn't great to follow

+ Quality.
Looks much nicer than most other stairgates.
Effective, with positive latching easy for adults but difficult for little ones.
- Adjustment can't cope with high Victorian skirtings: needed to fit a batten to the wall.
Instructions: In dozens of languages but the all important assembly diagrams are miniscule to the point of unreadable on last couple of pages.

+ does the job. Although you do have to drill into the wall, there is no bar to step or trip over when carrying a child. We have these at the top and bottom of the stairs now so our 1 year old can roam freely upstairs or downstairs. we bought these because we know if we ever want to move he gate it will fit any width in our house.
- Just a little pricey compared to the other ones or brands but looks nicer.

+ Sturdy gate and the wood looks nicer than white metal. The fact it has no ground bar is great as there is no risk of tripping.
- Locking mechanism is difficult to operate one handed if you are carrying the baby. Installation took a little while as you need a completely flat surface on both sides which our stairs didn't have.

+ Quality of finish and general look is very good.
Like not having to step over a bar on the floor as many other gates have.
- We have an old farmhouse with stone walls and the fixing screws & raw plugs were too small to get a secure fixing.
I have arthritis in my hands and find opening the latch impossible with just one hand. I cannot carry my grandson and open the gate at the same time.

Also a little on the loud side when openeing as there is a knocking noise which is similar on all screw fit gates i think.
