that's what I'm thinking too... keep the carpeting on the stairs. I have actually fallen UP stairs, too, if you can imagine that! I'm such a klutz.

DS has fallen too but we were spotting him so he ended up in our arms. It was at the bottom of the steps. It happened with both with DH and I.

Re: If you have stairs in your home..

We've lived here 8-9 months and I've already fallen down 3 times. DH has never fallen down. Luckily it wasn't bad falls, but I am scared of falling badly. Now I try not to go down them with socks on (slippery) and I go down more slowly now too.

Re: If you have stairs in your home..

We have stairs to our basement...they used to be horrible...so I'm surprsed I never did fall LOL. They aren't the full width of a normal step, and they aren't all the same height difference from eachother. DH has since fixed them, and also closed them in. Once we paint them we are going to get the little pieces of carpet that are fit to the steps... we rent...so cheapest way out LOL

Re: If you have stairs in your home..

I havent (although its the first flight of stairs I havent). However, I did let my DS fall down the entire flight when he was like a year old.....which I think is worse.

Re: If you have stairs in your home..

I have fallen down our stairs 3 times. Once was the whole flight and the other 2 times were only some of the steps. But i am a big klutz.

I have wood stairs, two flights actually because we have a splanch.

DH has gone down on them, I haven't yet, but we've only been here a year. I've come close but have caught myself...its really only a matter of time, ahha.

I live with DH in my childhood home and I can't even count how many times in my life I've fallen down the stairs!

DH fell a few times but my favorite was when he tripped on our dogs toy and fell......THAT was priceless! Chat Icon

Re: If you have stairs in your home..

we just moved in a month ago and yes i have fallen up and down the stairs, lol
usually its just the last 2 steps but i am paranoid because i have 2 infants i am usually carrying, thank god i wasn't holding them any time i fell, i am overly careful now when holding them,
