$54.99 | Hands Free Gate >>>

The Hands Free Gate made by the First Years is truly hands free.  

The hands free gate is wonderful since it always seems you are carrying something, whether it is baby, laundry or whatever, and have to set something down to open up a gate to pass through. 

This Hands Free Gate works from a pedal on the floor, which you step on, then nudge the gate with your knee.  The gate swings open and you can pass through and close easily, without setting your load down.

The Hands Free Gate is made of all metal and will need to be installed in your doorway.  It attaches to the inside of your doorframe and has the capability to swing open both ways. Baby can sit on the pedal or play with it, but they don’t have the ability or coordination to get the gate open.

Made for doors 29” to 34” inches wide, but extensions can be purchased separately.
