We have gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. I make sure they're latched every night and DH does too. I'm not worried about my 4 and 7 year old since they know how to open them but the gates are so loud that I can hear whoever leaves even if I'm asleep. It's just a sliding latch so easy enough if we need to run down stairs for whatever reason.

Oh, and I always close the gate when my 2 year old is upstairs! She's already fallen down once when she insisted on going down without holding my hand.
