Baby Gate for Top of Stairs?

KrisM86

We are currently living in an apartment with no stairs and will be moving in a few weeks to a house...yay! I need to get a few more baby gates, including one for the top of the stairs. Obviously, it needs to be extra secure and I thought some of you might have suggestions.

Any gates that you love or ones to avoid?

Love ours, the box is downstairs.  When I go down there I'll post the name for you.

We have this and I love it! I really like not having to climb over it at the top of the stairs, as most likely I would have accidentally fell multiple times now, and it is pretty inexpensive!

We have a dream baby and its great. My DH even modified one so that the cats can go through it. It's very high. I think this is it https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4344501.

Thank you ladies...I will look into those!

As long as it is not a pressure mounted one, I think most of them are pretty good.  You also want one that does NOT have a bar at the bottom (like this one).  The one that we have at the top of our stairs is this one at the top of our stairs from the kitchen and this one going downstairs because we have a bannister there.

My stairs are kind or unique and difficult to get a gate for.  I can not use a pressure mounted system because it would just push the bannisters apart. ( crappy wrought iron)  I found this and we adapted it.  We love it, and it is retractable.

I bought them at BabiesRus, but I think you can also get them at Target.  We've been really happy with them so far.
