I am glad I read this thread. I just ordered THIS
Evenflo 1196C - Wide Spaces Swing Gate one. I use an x-pen opened out across theBIG archway from my entryway into my living room. It keeps all of the babies except for Ladybug and Tilly out of the living room where my teddy bear collection resides (we never use the living room, our time is spent in the family room) BUT with this setup, whenever the doorbell rings all 6 of them run to the door and I have a hard time opening it without them trying to run out. I have been using a babygate between my front door and the screen door, but becaus eI am short I have a hard time stepping over it. I can kill two birds with one stone with this new gate. I can place it all the way across the other end of my entryway and they cannot get into the living room OR to the front door. And I doubt my monkey Rainbow can climb this one.. Here is a picture of her at the Kansas City meetup.
