baby gates that go around bottom stair

I need help! I have a landing and then two more steps. I want to block the bottom step. What do I get? A picture or link would be great. Thanks!

Re: baby gates that go around bottom stair

I had the same problem bc we have a landing and then the 2 bottom steps are at a 90 degree angle from the staircase. We ended up rigging something ourselves. We used half of this play yard gate so it forms like a semi circle around the bottom step. We used zip ties on secure it to the railing one side and then some type of wall anchor and zip ties on the wall side. I don't know how to upload a pic or I would. This is the link for the gate. It's not the best solution bc the gate sticks out but it was the best we thought of.

Sorry the link isn't working. If you google playard gate there is one from Walmart that comes up. It looks like those gates that people put in an open area and let babies play in. Like the rugrats lol. It's grey. You can take it apart to get up if you have to but it is kind of a pain so we just step over it. But like if my grandma comes over I open it up for her.

Re: baby gates that go around bottom stair

We had the same issue. Our solution was to gate the doorways leading to the hall where the stairs are. So one gate leading to kitchen and one gate leading to living room. I'm glad to not deal with opening and closing the gate on the landing which was my first choice. It worked out for us. And my new walker seems to have forgotten all about the stairs which he was obsessed with last week.
