Is there such a thing as a stairgate that won't ruin your wall and yet be strong enough to withstand mindee's impression of a prison inmate???

good question i really should get one too
although i have never used one before and ofsted were perfectly happy with that

I have a holey wall! :D

i had lovely red walls now i got red walls with white patch where stair gate has been i have considered puttind something on the the wall like the little sheilds you get for washing macheine feet or sofa,s but then i was thinking abit if foam im seriosly thinking about this one the only other option is to have one made and make it part of you stairs like little gates i was thinking this might be quite nice as i have pine stairs and could do little pine gates top and bottom :idea:

i use the Lascal Kiddyguard Retractable Rollerblind Safety Gate and although you still need to attatch it to the wall i like it cos it is like a roller blind and rolls away when not in use.

I had wooden gates made for top and bottom ( not a bad price either), they look great, but you can not take them off, if you do you have ugly holes to look at instead of a little mark. If you plan to keep them there for awhile I would recommend getting them.

I would also agree with the kiddiguard starigate i have one and they are really good, a bit pricey but well worth it.

EEEkkkkk I am not looking forward to putting my stairgate up! :(

I like the sound of the kidiguard gate, might take a look at those.

I also use the roller blind type it goes into the wood work on either side. I figured that holes in wood is eaiser to fill than replacing wall paper:)

Even the pressure mounted ones pull your paint off when you take them down. We have them up for ds but figured if I was going to be a childminder then they would be staying there for a long time anyway.

I've got pressure mounted. They are dog gates. Got them from a pet shop :D

I use the Kiddiguard rollerblind one too, well worth the money cos you don't know its there at the weekends

Safetots uk (not sure of the web address but type safetots in search engine) they have got lovely pine gates for £18 each, they do need to be screwed to the wall though, but i have pine stairs, skirting etc and they blend in really well and aren't that noticeable either. They also don't have that annoying bar along the bottom, that i find a bit of a trip hazard!!

Safetots also have loads of other safety ideas and gadgets...worth a look.:)

I hate stair gates

I have the wooden ones from Ikea. Tbh they've been there so long we don't even notice them now.

These are what i want in my house (I have three normal type ones) just need to start earning some spare cash to warrant double the price but I long for the days when I don't have a stairgate bar to fall over at a weekend.

We have a celebration in our house when the youngest child turns 2 and they come down
