I used to have gates dividing the loungeroom from the kitchen so she couldnt get in...but then she became an escapee and used to climb the gates and jump over...

Nothing stops Chelsea!

Oh dear I have visons of this child hurdling over baby gates!!!

we will ahve issues as we have a very open kitchen and not sure if wall and cupboard edge will be able to put a gate on.

Hugs hun you can only do your best.
