child proofing stairs

How did you child proof the bottom of the staircase if you have a center hall colonial house? Our stairs have a curved banister with cylinder like posts that curl around the center post at the bottom.

Don't know if it is the same scenario, but we have a split that has a bottom step that comes out of the actual stair case at both stair cases. DH found gates that had add on attatchments to screw on to the wall. I believe they are by summer.

Re: child proofing stairs

they sell an attachment for adapting a gate to banisters, BUT it didn't fit on mine, so I don't know if it'll work for you.

What we just did was get an inexpensive wood one and tied it to 1 side and it rested across to the other. It prevented her from going up the stairs.
