Just moved into house and DH and his family are freaking about the stairs. They put in gates and all, but how long do you really need them? DS is 16mos. If you have stairs, when did you stop using gates? My cats and older dd aren't enjoying them!! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I stopped using gates once it was obvious that dd was Ok going up and down on her own. Obviously, that is different for every kid. We didn't have them on all stairs though since cat could not get past them. [ Reply | More

We used gates in our old house (curved staircase) w/ DS. When we moved into our new home DD was about 18 months and we just didn't put any gates up at all--three floors, wood stairs. Never been a problem. They both learned to negotiate them very quickly. [ Reply | More
