Is your baby gate at the top or bottom of the stairs?
-
Top of the stairs so I can keep LO up there! We only have a short staircase though
-
Bottom because she only crawls around downstairs.
-
Bottom. Only our bedroom is upstairs so she doesnt need to be up there. If we move the gate for 30 seconds though, shes at the top!
-
We have a 3 story townhouse. I intend to install 4 gates, one at the top and bottom of each staircase. (LO is only 3 weeks old so I have some time to baby proof)
-
We have both
-
Bottom. We also have a gate blocking off just his room upstairs as we usually don't let him into our room/upstairs bathroom.
-
We keep it at the bottom, but if we go upstairs to play we move it upstairs.
-
bottom, only the bedrooms are upstairs! all his toys and everything are downstairs
-
We have one at the top, and one at the bottom. We used to only have one at the top, then I was using the bathroom one day and heard thump thump thump scream. He had learned to climb them then fell down
-
We have both.
-
Top! We have a semi-split level and really should put one in downstairs but there is no where to install it (banister only on one side, no wall).
-
We have both, also have one in a hallway downstairs to contain to one area of the house. Initially put the gates in to keep our dogs in/out of certain areas, before LO was mobile.
-
Both

Our flights are very short so at Top. However, if I had a full flight I would do one at top and bottom.
-
Top. Our stairs are out of the way of the main living area so we don't really need a downstairs gate.
-
Both!
-
Bottom. We are rarely upstairs to play and if we are I shut whatever bedroom door we are in.
-
We don't have any yet, but will be getting top and bottom.
-
We haven't put them up yet, but we are planning on using one at the top and one at the bottom.

When we were living in a two-story it was only up top; but I would have also put one on the bottom but it was kind of awkward to put one there. My oldest went tumbling down when he was 3 missing a step on the way down. I think a gate at the bottom would have helped soften the blow to his head, maybe... Luckily, no concussion but the sleepiness and yawning 5 mins later was really scary... My youngest LOVED to climb up the stairs... a gate would have been nice. But now we are on a one-level so no gates now!
-
Currently we have just the top. I'm thinking we will need one for the bottom too. His room and play area are upstairs but we spend a lot of time downstairs so to be on the safe side we should probably have both.

@Pepper: Our boys are going to be mobile soon. Craziness.

I plan on having them at the top and bottom.

Both.
