Noah has just chosen now to learn how to open door knobs, he is now freely letting himself out of the lounge and to the stairs

We have just quickly got the new stairgate we had bought for his bedroom and set it up down here.

We already have one for the kitchen, at this rate we are going to have one for every room in the house!

Has anyone one found their LO has learnt how to undo stair gates it just we seems to be having a go at nipping the catch together to open the gate already, Im just hoping its a bit to stiff for him!

Seren is getting a bit too good at the stair gates, though if her daddy leaves the one at the top of the stairs open she tends to close it. I hate stair gates, always bloody struggle with them (must be beanieproof)

Kacy knows how to shut stair gates and put the catch down thats about it, I heard kids usually climb over the stair gates before the learn to open them

Yea we had that problem so wen we moved we wall mounted ours so he couldnt reach! Althoughh untill last night the remote control hhad been missing for 3 days, untill we found it down the back of the radiator!

Dionne

when Dior was noahs age she would pull at the stairgate untill it would fall on top of her. so we just took it down as she is fine going up and down the stairs and has never fell.
Harley has just mastered getting up stairs now. i dont want to use a stair gate as they ruin the walls but looks like i will have to put it back up

Yeah see Noah goes upstairs by himself fine but cant go down them, plus he likes to go into the downstairs loo, lift the lid and throw toys in, and take the shoes out the shoe cuboard etc. His lastes one he learnt yesterday as well is how to pull out the dining chairs, climb ontop and then climb onto the dining table. I caught him laying there yesterday happily scribbling all over the table with a pencil! (at least it wasnt a biro!)
