LOL - I am keeping my trap shut for a change! I don't understand baby gates, we don't have one and I don't know when I would use one....I have never been in a situation where I think it might be useful.

But I am definitely the minority on this one!!

I didn't have gates with J & L. V must be naughtier and better at escaping, or maybe i'm too old to be running up and down the stairs after her every two minutes.

When J & L were little I had nice bouncy carpeted stairs, now they're stripped wood so they'd hurt if she fell down.

The moveable gate is also handy for keeping the dog in/out of where I want him.

Mfd, do you have a door to your stairs? Caitlyn is off up ours at every given opportunity, I couldn't cope without a stairgate... It's PITA enough trying to stop her climbing the coffee table / bookcase / toybox...

Lol i would not cope without stair gates!!! i would have no hair left!!

We had a gate on the kitchen, as we don't have a door, it was more to keep dog out than Katie, but once Katie figured out how to open it and the dog kept knocking it over jumping it we took it down.

We also had one on the bottom of the stairs when she first got mobile but that also came down once Katie could open it.

I've got a gate to the kitchen because DH is overprotective... When he's not around I let her wander in and out while I'm there (and somethimes when I'm not :shh: ) but he has a hernia everytime she's anywhere near...

SM, I thought you lived in a flat?

LOL - that was why I was keeping my trap shut. I am the oddball here! (SM I didn't think you had stairs?)

We do have a door on the living room but I have always just let him go up and down stairs and the novelty wore off after a while now he just uses them when he wants to go upstairs or downstairs for something. And he knows not to go up or down without me.

Horses for courses and all that.

All you fancy-livin' types with stairs!

What do people think, can you see this picture working printed on canvas, maybe 20"x16" or so? On computer you have to zoom in and out to get the effect so I think it's not that great but in the real world it might work better.
