I'd just like some opinions please.
We've just moved to a new house after living in a flat. My daughter is 16 months and a confident walker and stair climber. She has had the run of the house for the last 4 weeks, happily climbing the stairs with only one minor incident of falling off the last 2. My husband has just bought and installed some gates, little one hates it and I hate how they look and how they seem so restrictive.
Is is not a bit late for gates now? Do you have gates and how old are your children? At what age did you get rid of them?
I really hate them! I watch her all the time but there are times when she does escape me and get up the stairs
I love watching her have a little independence but my husband is terrified of her having a bad fall.
I'd like to remove them, but is like a little advice first. Thanks!
