3 - just found the other safety gate that asda had on amazon. It's the metal extending gate which fixes into wall, so definitely not the one you're after. Sorry

Because we have a couple of houses into one, we have two sets of stairs that meet the two sets of landings which are now obviously one, at the top. The fun the girls have *rolleyes*)

That sounds really great! If I had two sets of stairs, i'd have one for up, and one for down! Or maybe i'd put escalators in.


SM My first boyfriend lived in a maisonette, and he had a door from his bedroom, out onto the landing of the block. Very handy for sneaking girlfriends in and out without his Mum noticing.

As far as i know a flat is only on one floor :undecided that may explain why you have never heard of it MFD and motm i agree with you it is indeed called a maisonette .

On the subject of stairgates we have none

And do you intend on getting them?

I kind of worked on the 'when we need one we will get one' principle, and now I don't think we need them.


I am staying in a maisonette on my jollies, which are only 24 days away if anyone is interested :cool:

You might be lucky like Mfd and he might not bother... Or you might get a menace like mine...

24 days to decide on a buggy mfd

My parents house has one set of stairs with a mini landing then a small set of stairs coming off either side. We used to have loads of fun jumping across and could never understand why my Mum used to shout at us!

I have a gate to keep the child off the stairs and out of the kitchen and therefore out of the bin/cat food. We have a big lounge and have removed everything dangerous from it, like a big playpen IYSWIM :rotfl:

It works for us. We have to have somewhere for the kitties to escape to when he wont leave them alone as well, and if he had free access to the kitchen and upstairs then they wouldnt get that, and he would get scratched and bitten (more often than he does :whistle:
If we tell him not to do something, he will go and do it 10x with a cheeky face, and distracting him with something else just doesnt work. He's sly, my boy!

Gill, we have narrow stairs/doorways and had to get these ones.It says they need screwing in but its actually the wall cup that the extending adjustable bits fit into that need screwing in, we havent actually bothered cos the extending bits are made of rubber and dont move at all applied straight to the wall

MFD - I am in much the same boat as you on this one, in that we would only get them if and when we felt we needed to, at the moment i dont see us needing them - but this might change.

My little menace sounds very much like yours Em... My brother asked me tonight how I'll cope when I have the next one... That's why I bought the baby prison!
