| How many stair gates do have in your home and where?
Technically i should have 4 but only have 2, i have one to Noah's bedroom and one at the top of the stairs. I really need another for the bottom of the stairs and maybe one for the kitchen.

| Just one at the top of the stairs but it's always open unless I need to contain her! |

| None, as soon as Charlie could get out the livingroom I taught him to climb and get down the stairs.

| We dont have any. We did have one t the top of the stairs but moved it ages ago. We taught her to crawl up and bump down on her bum, so she's pretty safe |

| We used to have 2 (top and bottom of stairs) but now we only have the one of the top of the stairs which I think will be up for a while as Bethany has to cross the top of the stairs to get to our room and I would be worried her falling down stairs if she was sleepy xx |

| We have one at the kitchen (but that's more to contain the dog!) and one at the top and one at the bottom of the stairs. Stephen knows how to get up and down them safely but he's extremely clumsy so I'd rather he doesn't go near them unless he has to! xx |

| used to have one at the bottom of stairs, one at top and one on her bedroom door
now only have the one on her room as she can confidently go up and down the stairs downstairs came off when she was about 18months top one came off last year sometime
we did try to take the one off her door but she went mad even though she opens it but it makes her feel safe so we put it back on |

| Only one that is actually put up..the rest I use to either rope off the dogs, or keep Maky downstairs. But the main gate is always closed..biggest fear of mine is her going down the 14 stairs down to hard ceramic tile. x |

| None, she gets up and down stairs safely and if we are cooking, we make sure we are with her when she is in the kitchen.

| We did have two up but we've just moved and managed to only put one back up. But I should imagine when my youngest gets mobile we'll have to put more up! |

| We've not got any, and havent used one since we moved here (a bungalow) when Libby was 11 months. We wont be using one for Dexter either as I like that he's got the freedom to go pretty much anywhere, if we dont want him to go somewhere we'll just shut the door |

| We have no stairs but have one on our kitchen as Jamie's worked out how to open the door. We're also getting one for our bedroom. Mind you Jamie hates it and has already worked out the button has something to do with opening it |

| we have 2 one at the bottom and one at the top of the stairs...the one at the bottom isn't really needed as he's safe to climb now...but the one at the top is deffo needed as he just steps out - he hasn't learnt to bum bump down yet |

| 2 One in the hall to stop her from going by the front door/upstairs, and one at the top of the stairs. Pointless having the hall one there she can open it but it stops the dog barking at people walking past x |

| I have got a 3 way one which is really big so it covers the bottom of the stairs and the door near it. I have also got one on Aimee/Lily's bedroom door too so they cant escape.
I dont, and never have, had one at the top of our stairs. I am not comfortable with how our top stairs is and I am not 100% sure we wouldnt end up with an accident if we had a gate there x |

| We have 2 - one on the kitchen door to save me having to replace everything in the cupboards every 10 minutes and one on the bathroom door to stop me having to mop the floor and re-roll the toilet roll every 10 minutes (although this is quite often left open now Thomas uses the toilet so might take that down soon). We have a lock on the outside of our bedroom door as they aren't allowed in there but other than that they can go where they want. xx |

| four atm, one either end of sitting room (ie out into hall or out into computer room/kitchen) so i can corale them in lounge if i need to run out to car etc. I can just shut door to kitchen cos you pass through Neils comp room to get to kitchen and the litter tray and all his rc car bits are in there so i need one either end. Top of stairs cos our stairs arent very safe but its a roller blind style one so C can still get into bathroom when its across as it goes diagonal (you have to step down onto a wee landing then up into bathroom) and one on kids bedroom door for if i ever need to put awen in there while im getting dressed as the other litter trays in hall outside their room. |

| We have 2. 1 at the top of the stairs. Used to have one downstairs to stop ds getting in the kitchen but took that down ages ago and moved that onto his bedroom when we moved him from cot to a bed. Was never able to get one that fitted at the bottom of our stairs though. |
