Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
Where will they spend the majority of the time? If downstairs then one at the bottom only and try to watch them when upstairs. If the time is evenly split, I would have a gate at top and bottom.
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
Yeah I think it will be evenly split well it is atm but I guess I may develop a new routine cause two gates is gonna be a pain
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
We had gates at the top and bottom in our previous house that had stairs and the kids were about the same age.
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
I had them top and bottom when we had stairs, plus I also taught dd how to go down them backwards , jic a gate was left open
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
We had to and bottom too.
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
Top and bottom here too, especially for my girls who had never been around stairs before we moved, ds was only 4 months when we moved. We were able to remove them when he was 18 months or so because he was able to use them properly and didn't play on or around them.
Re: Toddler/baby and stairs
Top and bottom here too. I just couldn't risk it.
