I took down the babygates when Curly started climbing them and Mo figured out how to collapse or open them. They seem to take my babyproofing efforts as challenges.Jacqueline Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210236489920205357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-75645632170447373302010-03-15T14:36:38.437-06:002010-03-15T14:36:38.437-06:00My girls have, fortunately, never been interested ...My girls have, fortunately, never been interested in climbing gates, although that was always a fear of mine. I know eventually they're going to wonder why we have gates up and no one else does. Oh well.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-62057549272242797842010-03-15T11:48:37.036-06:002010-03-15T11:48:37.036-06:00We hardly have any baby proofing in our house.

There are a few outlets that are covered but those are outlets we never use so that is the only reason they are still there.<br /><br />We stopped using the gates when Ry was about 2 and got good with the stairs. We never put locks on our cabinets because she never tried to play in them as a baby. <br /><br />Do what works for you. It shouldn't matter what age they are.Roman and Tiffanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-86525114392432204032010-03-15T11:38:08.680-06:002010-03-15T11:38:08.680-06:00Even before my two year old was born, we kept a ga...Even before my two year old was born, we kept a gate at the top of the stairs. After my son pushing any and all friction ones down the stairs, sometimes riding it like a surfboard, we invested in a permanently mounted swinging gate one.<br /><br />It is the best and strong enough to take a kid careening into it at top speed.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Cardinal-Gates-MG25-T-C-Duragate/dp/B002CGRSV4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=baby-products&qid=1268673248&sr=1-5Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-1246790697163758822010-03-15T09:17:05.598-06:002010-03-15T09:17:05.598-06:00We have no stairs in our house (slab ranch with no...We have no stairs in our house (slab ranch with no basement), but I have a gate that I get out JUST for play dates - we block off the bedrooms so they can run freely through the rest of the house!MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.com
