As above, our staircase has round spindles both top and bottom. Can anyone recommend a stair gate that will be secure please?

Thanks!

We have gates in the doorways instead of on the stairs.

There are y shaped fittings that you can buy separately to attach a normal stairgate to round spindles. I got some Safety First brand ones and I think lindam also do them. Unfortunately they didn't work for my awkward shaped hallway though.

@Chely our stairs are in our living room so unfortunately that wouldn't work for us.

Thanks @Timeforsinging81 I'll have a look

Are the spindles round all the way up, or do they have flat bits? Ours are mostly round, but have small square sections top and bottom, so we screwed a strip of wood into the square sections and then had a nice flat surface to attach the stair gates to.

We've got a dream baby retractable stair gate, they're a bit more expensive than normal ones but it's worked really well for us and it's easier to move out of the way when you're doing things like carrying a load of washing up and down.
