I have no advice about the gates, but I would concentrate on teaching her the safe way to go up and down the stairs. e.g. on her tummy sliding backwards or on her bum shuffling down the stairs. Spend some time with her several days in a row just going up and down the stairs, teaching her not to walk down them, but to slide or crawl down. Then, in the event the gate is inadvertently left open one day, she'll be able to safely negotiate the stairs.
