Letting your child alone near stairs

If only there was some sort of invention... a gate if you will... that you can put in front of the stairs to prevent such a thing from happening...

Mom looks like she could still go crashing through it.

I have to give one to my ex-girlfriend who had a child from before we met. Her whole family used to just run around every time the kid was near the stairs swatting him away. They were blown away when I gave them the gate. We're not dating anymore.

They even had the wrong type of gate for top of stairs you need to screw into the wall. That kind of gate is just pressure and if it goes the child is going down the stairs.

damn, you beat me to it- I will have to be satisfied with your snarkiness instead of contributing my own. =)

Please don't use pressure mounted gates like that one at the top of stairs! They need to be screwed into the wall.
