If you’re looking for a tall gate that won’t break the bank, this is a good one. It goes for about $40 as of this post. Like I said, taller gates will cost more, but this one doesn’t cost too much.

Pros

• It’s quite tall at 41 inches. As for its expansion, it will fit anywhere from 29 to 36.5 inches, giving it a decent range.

• It’s pressure-mounted and easy for you to put together and set up. Just follow the simple instructions and you’re good to go.

• This gate may be cheap, but it has some decent durability to it and some great locking features, with multiple safety locks to make sure your toddler under 3 doesn’t get past it.

Cons

• Some users had difficulty with the locking mechanism, saying it wasn’t as easy to use as advertised. 

#2. Rover Tall Dog Gate (Tallest Gate)

If you’re looking for the tallest of the tall, Rover has you covered. It is a gate meant for huge dogs, but it can work for your child as well. Standing at 48 inches in height, it’s one of the biggest gates you can buy. For reference, that’s four feet.

Pros

• It’s tall. At 48 inches, big dogs and daring babies will have a hard time scaling it.

• This gate is approved by veterinarians, giving pet owners a little peace of mind.

• It’s lightweight, yet it can handle a bit of roughhousing from your little one.

• It fits doorways between 24-48”, making it quite expansive.

Cons

• This gate is quite expensive, going for $199.

• No longer available on Amazon, meaning no Prime shipping. There is an archive from when it used to be available on there, and this gate did receive some positive reviews. 

#3. Summer Infant Multi-Use Gate (Best Overall)

This gate is probably the best tall gate overall. While not the tallest on this list, it looks great, is affordable, and has high reviews. Let’s break down why this gate is so great.

Pros

• First, the design. It’s made from metal and it has a beautiful finish, with a nice arch shape that looks inviting. For some parents and pet owners, looks don’t matter; they just want a gate that does its job. However, this gate looks amazing and is more than just flash.

• It’s pressure-mounted, but it does come with the ability for you to hardware mount should you want extra security or put it on stairways.

• It has a door stopper, which you can use for the top of the stairs, or to prevent the gate from opening so easily.

• It’s quality, but it’s affordable as well. As of this post, the gate is going for about $60 on Amazon, making it that perfect balance between quality and value.

• One of the highest rated gates,

Cons

• I do wish it was a bit taller. Thirty-six inches should be tall enough for most people, but some households may want at least 40. As of this post, this is the only size the gate is available in.

• Some units had a defective latch, with one parent reporting that their baby almost hurt themselves falling down the stairs. With any gate, make sure it’s fully functional before use.

#4. Perma Retractable Gate (Best Retractable Gate)

A retractable gate can provide a softer barrier and take up less space. Whenever you don’t need to use it, it retracts, making it more convenient than other gates. Unfortunately, many retractable gates aren’t too tall, going up to 33 inches at the most. This one is the tallest, going 41 inches.

Pros

• It’s the tallest retractable gate I could find, going 41 inches in height. Children and pets are no match for this barrier.

• It does have a 1 year warranty, meaning that you can have some peace of mind when your purchase it.

• The gate does have a one-handed operation, meaning that you can open it while you’re carrying your child or having groceries.

Cons

• Reviews are a little more mixed. I usually try to select products that have 4 stars or higher, but as of this post, this gate has 3.7 stars. While more people had a positive experience than negative, the reviews are still a little mixed. However, this was the only retractable gate I found that was truly extra tall. If I find a retractable gate that is tall and has a higher score, I will update this article.

• Many users had a hard time installing and opening this gate. Meanwhile, some children and pets found it a little too easy to open it.

#5. Carlson Extra Tall Walk Through Pet Gate with Small Pet Door (Best Gate With Pet Door)

This is the one to pick if you need a gate with a pet door. This type of gate has a small pet door, allowing small pets to pass through while the kids and the big dogs stay out.

Pros

• It has all the features you would expect out of a good gate. It’s easily adjustable for almost every use, and its durable steel can keep most pets out. Its safety lock is easy for you to use, yet difficult for your child.

• The small pet door, which is 8 x 8, is lockable, so your kid doesn’t get curious. If your cat or small dog wants to pass, just unlock it and open it for them.

• It looks great. The design is simple, but it does have this sleek look to it that you will love.

Cons

• It may not contain some rowdy dogs. With any pet gate, you also need to make sure that your dog isn’t too aggressive. A big dog that runs into a gate at full speed may end up destroying the gate, which may end up disappointing the customer.

• Some users have claimed that the pet gate is a little too big, with their bigger dog easily being able to fit through it. Always make sure that the gate is small enough so that your dog or kid can’t get into it, but big enough so that your cat can.

Parents are busy people. They’re often sleep deprived and can make mistakes. Sometimes, they may open their baby gate, but forget to close it. Luckily, an auto-close gate can fix that. This type of gate closes automatically when opened at less than 90 degrees. Any higher and it stays open, if you need it opened.

Pros

• The auto-close feature is heaven-sent for most parents. It works like a charm and this means that you don’t have to worry about leaving the gate open, unless you open everything wide out of instinct.

• It’s quite durable. The page claims to handle pets up to 210 pounds. So if you have a super big dog, then your pooch may not be a match for it.

• It’s a pressure-mounted gate and is quite easy to install.

Cons

• Sadly, it’s not as tall as other extra-tall gates, going a measly 30.5 inches. I will update if there ends up being another extra-tall auto-close gate that goes higher.

• Some reviewers had a hard time installing it.

How I Picked The Gates

Reviews

When choosing any product, reading the reviews is always going to be the first step. What parents like you are saying about a baby gate is always important. I try to pick products that have an average of 4 stars or higher, with some exceptions. In this article’s case, the retractable baby gate was a little under that due to the lack of tall retractable gates on the market.
