Stair gate suggestions?

Written by Jason on October 23rd, 2008

We live in a two story house, and we need to keep Nico off the stairs. Now that he’s starting to move independently, we’re looking into stair gates. Candice likes this one, but I think it’s too flimsy, and he’ll climb up it and push it over and fall down the stairs. I prefer one that screws into the wall, like so, but that one has been marked down over 75% (what’s wrong with it?).

Anyone have any suggestions? Other than proper parental supervision, of course (just kidding).

    I’d say use a fabric gate with some lace and grommet or snaps. Sorta like a big ol’ projection screen or trampoline. That way there is no foothold and I haven’t seen any small child able to undo snaps from the opposite side of a gate.

    You would be suprised on what the basic wooden ones will hold. My dogs can barrel into them and they stay into place.
