My son was able to defeat every safety item on the market but that gate... and his still baffles him... my friend had one of those where the lever lifts up - her daughter got through that with no problem...

This looks like the one we have... oh, because we didn't want to drill into the banister, my hubby took a piece of wood, attached the gate to that and tie strapped it to the banister... has been there for 4 years and it's not moving.

We had one like that that was extra wide and it worked great. Then when we moved to TX we got this one (we had a narrower hallway) http://www.amazon.com/Evenflo-Top-St...8339072&sr=8-2 If I knew how much it would cost to ship it, I'd sent it to you!

For bottom of stairs and doorways we used this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Year...339226&sr=8-18, it is very strong and they cannot open it, but an adult can open it quickly. Plus they cannot get a footing to climb over, and its portable.

I'm going to be selling some babygates soon with our garage sale. Guess my 4.5 and 7 year olds don't need them anymore!
