Easy to open baby gate for stairs?

CrunchyMaineMama · Sep 7, 2012

We have an [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Evenflo-Top-Stair-Plus-Gate/dp/B002W5RT9Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347020526&sr=8-1&keywords=evenflo+top+of+stairs+gate"]Evenflo gate[/ame] at the bottom of our stairs, but it's too hard for DD (4.5 yrs) to operate. I end up opening and closing it a million times a day because her room is upstairs and she's always going back and forth.

I tried the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Hands-Free/dp/B000058CC7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347020404&sr=8-1&keywords=first+years+gate"]Hands Free[/ame] one and she can't step on it hard enough to open that either.

Any suggestions that would be easy enough for her to operate? Preferably available at BRU.

Target has a Munchkin gate that is wood and steel and is easy for my 5 y.o. to open. Not cheap, but super nice and secure.

I have the same munchkin gate, and love it. Easy enough for the big kids, keeps the small one contained.

I guess I'll have to make a trip to Target. Oh darn.

I've seen those types of gates frequently with online return red sticker goodness at my target. Maybe you'll get lucky!

Munchkin Loft Gate like the other people suggested. It is awesome! Amazon has it with free shipping and free returns.
