We have the Dreambaby gates and we really like them alot. They're pressure mounted and hold FIRM. My son is pretty strong and is a climber and he has yet to even budge them a tiny bit. We have them on the top and bottom of our stairs and we plan on leaving them there for a few years, until baby #2 is at least 3 years old!

I think I put gates around the house when my oldest started crawling. Gated him off to the great room in the back so I can watch him wherever I'm at. Then put one on the top of the stairs. I got the Kidco pressure mounted metal one and it's held up. That one is still there with the gate open all the time. Don't really need it anymore; but will still need it when #2 is mobile. I did take off the other two gates in our great room when my oldest was around 2 years of age (he's 3 now). I just always made sure he didn't go up or down the stairs w/o me around. He was a pretty good listener then and most of the time now. So far, he's only had one tumble down the stairs from about 4 or 5 steps up when I wasn't taking him up. I'm not a fan of gates and hope I can take the ones downstairs off when my youngest is 2 as well. It'll just depend on how wild my youngest will be.
