Our son has just discovered stairs & we're debating what stair gate to get. The bottom two steps are past the post, so we're not sure if we need one that would go round all the steps, but take up more hallspace, or just across where the post is.


I've tried to attach a photo to help make sense.


Ideally we wouldn't need to drill etc.


Thanks!

We have ours at the second stair and this has been fine. We use a retractable gate (https://www.safetots.co.uk/safetots-advanced-retractable-safety-gate-white-60cm-120cm.html) which we find is less obtrusive than the old swing gate we had.


Unfortunately I think you will have to drill. Using a non-drill gate in your position has three drawbacks to my mind:

1. Needs to be installed higher up the stairs so there is a solid wall on both sides

2. Leaves a trip hazard part way up the stairs

3. In my experience they move eventually with a determined toddler hanging on them

    • One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me.  Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there.  Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police. 
    • My thoughts exactly when I found them I was thinking hope she is OK, have a feeling her bag was maybe snatched and then these items were just thrown.. I'm sure the police will pass it on to the passport office I just didn't have the time to get over there anytime soon. And agree they wasn't very helpful at all unfortunately I felt I was causing a problem with just handing them in !!

    • Thank you Malumbu for your reassurance. It's an absolute disgrace for people to be making any racist conspiracy theories. These are the lost lives of men, women & children.....so upsetting.
