The barriers of the Summer Infant Sure and Secure Gate are made of Velcro, which ensures that the children inside the playpen, or beside the gate, would not get hurt. The door swings both way, and the lock is easy for adults to open with one hand, while keeping the other hand free. The lock, however, is difficult for children and toddlers to manage.
Cons
Since the barriers are made of Velcro, a mature child – especially one who is 3 years old or more – can learn to open or tear up the part of the Velcro, making the gate useless.
Also, many people don’t prefer a hardware mounted gate in their house because installation is permanent and leaves holes in the walls. Drilling holes to mount the gate into the walls means that they cannot be easily transferred to another location, at least not without holes showing on the walls.
