I also did not want to drill one it (the gate at the top is drilled in though). Even though this wasn't sturdy, we just had to supervise and make sure LO didn't go up! We only needed it for a few months and then he stopped trying to go on the stairs. Now he is old enough to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-gate-the-bottom-of-your-stairs#post-1822062 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:24:10 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1822062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: if you read the reviews, it is more like a light pine color. We have not opened the box yet, so I cannot confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-gate-the-bottom-of-your-stairs#post-1822029 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:10:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1822029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: Had my eye on that one ... at least it would blend a little better with the wood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-gate-the-bottom-of-your-stairs#post-1822023 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:05:04 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1822023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought this today, but we have not installed it yet.</p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22767536&#038;cp=2255956.2273442.2850038.23088636.18816696&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22767536&#038;cp=2255956.2273442.2850038.23088636.18816696&#038;parentPage=family</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-gate-the-bottom-of-your-stairs#post-1822006 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:54:48 +0000 drjolene 1822006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to figure this out, too! We have a split level and two sets of stairs to block off from our entry/living room area. So far, here's the options I'm exploring:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Regalo-Extra-Tall-Stair-White/dp/B003VNKLIE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1408245522&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=baby+gate+stairs#productDetails" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Regalo-Extra-Tall-Stair-White/dp/B003VNKLIE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1408245522&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=baby+gate+stairs#productDetails</a></p> <p>OR</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Regalo-192-Inch-Super-Wide-Gate/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=pd_tcs_subst_ba_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=0VEPZY6WQQTVKMEFB6NW#productDetails" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Regalo-192-Inch-Super-Wide-Gate/dp/B003VNKLIY/ref=pd_tcs_subst_ba_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=0VEPZY6WQQTVKMEFB6NW#productDetails</a></p> <p>So far, I'm leaning toward the second one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-gate-the-bottom-of-your-stairs#post-1822003 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:51:47 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1822003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... particularly if you had a stairway that's open (i.e. no walls to use -- the gate would have to go between banisters)? </p> <p>We reeeeally don't want to drill into the wood! </p>
