Since alot of people seem to be on, let me ask you another question . . .

Miko seems to be curious about the stairs about the last 2 weeks. He goes up to the 3rd step and stays there until i realize he's not there and go pick him up. this is really dangerous for him. any suggestions on how to stop this?? you guys were so helpful with my other problem, lol.

i know you guys will have some helpful tips on this subject as well. fyi: he has free range - the only time he's put away is at night when he sleep. he doesn't do it all the time. but this is really dangerous for him and im afraid he's gonna fall down and get hurt

mine love the stairs and spend a good half an hour a day running up and down them.....just teach him how to get down again...a trail of pellets usually works.

When I lived at home we had stair at the bottom of the kitchen so we put a baby gate there. It was not one of those with bars that he could get stuck in it was made of meshy material was stong enough for him to bounce of when binkying! Hope this is helful.

That is if you don't want them going upstairs!

We just called them baby gates in the UK - I don't know if you'd call them something different. If you can only get one with wide bars you can attach mesh on with cable ties

The one I got was called an easy fit flexi gate. I'll go and look at it to see if it has a proper name.

Baby gates are cool cos most have opening doors - saves the removal of bits of wood/card/cushions/books etc. where you've barricaded up things :lol:

That is what I am trying to desribe!! That's the one I have though not in funky pink. Tango has never yet managed to jump over it and at full stretch he can almost reach my hip.
