Or from your upstairs down to the main level?</p> <p>We had a tricky situation with our stairs (from the upstairs - only bedrooms - down to the main floor) and decided to just gate off her room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420122 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 11:07:41 +0000 peachykeen 2420122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the exact same stair set-up and were perplexed until we found this gate: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Indoor-Extra-Wide-Pet-Gate/dp/B00LNH8EL6/ref=sr_1_27?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452701109&#038;sr=1-27-spons&#038;keywords=baby+gate&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Indoor-Extra-Wide-Pet-Gate/dp/B00LNH8EL6/ref=sr_1_27?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452701109&#038;sr=1-27-spons&#038;keywords=baby+gate&#038;psc=1</a>! It's not pretty, but it wraps around the L-shape and attaches to the wall. I think they sell shorter sections too if you need those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420079 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:43:36 +0000 youboots 2420079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: right now our success plan is to leave her in her crib upstairs or her playpen downstairs if we are not actively watching/playing with her (which feels a little helicopter). I'm overwhelmed about baby proofing since our entire 1910 home feels like a hazard. I guess we could just gate off her bedroom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420063 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:38:13 +0000 erinbaderin 2420063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave up on it and put the gate straight across the hallway, separating the kitchen/living room from the stairs/dining room. It's not ideal but it's worked out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420059 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:37:51 +0000 youboots 2420059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: that may work. I also found this <a href="https://m.buybuybaby.com/m/product/kidco-reg-custom-fit-auto-close-configuregate-in-black/206608" rel="nofollow">https://m.buybuybaby.com/m/product/kidco-reg-custom-fit-auto-close-configuregate-in-black/206608</a></p> <p>We have plaster walls so having to mount it is not great. We may have to have something custom made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420049 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:34:52 +0000 Alivoo01 2420049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about something like this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Sure-Secure-Custom/dp/B0009RG8R8/ref=sr_1_10?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452699237&#038;sr=1-10&#038;keywords=extra+long+baby+gates" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Sure-Secure-Custom/dp/B0009RG8R8/ref=sr_1_10?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452699237&#038;sr=1-10&#038;keywords=extra+long+baby+gates</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Walk-Thru-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0038JE3SK/ref=sr_1_18?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452699306&#038;sr=1-18&#038;keywords=extra+long+baby+gates" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Walk-Thru-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0038JE3SK/ref=sr_1_18?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452699306&#038;sr=1-18&#038;keywords=extra+long+baby+gates</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-unusual-stairs#post-2420026 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:25:54 +0000 youboots 2420026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is getting super fast at crawling so it's time for a baby gate. But our stairs are open in an L shape. Any recommendations for a baby gate that can accommodate unusual doorways? </p> [attach=5281/16/o0wdn5.450x600.image.jpeg]
