Top of the stairs gate
please recommend your top of the stair gate. Preferably one that doesn't require hardware/screws to secure it (if they make them in pressure mounted ones thats what i am looking for)
TIA!

Re: Top of the stairs gate
I think most top of the stair gates have to be screwed/bolted into the wall to be most effective. We got ours from Safety 1st-- and so far we like it (but it does need to be screwed into the wall).

Re: Top of the stairs gate
oh OK, i had a feeling i would have to get one like that, but didn't know if they made them pressure mounted (which doesn't really make sense for safety reasons anyway)

Re: Top of the stairs gate
I wanted a pressure-type one, too. Turns out they're not recommended for top of the stairs (which makes sense when you think about it!  ). I like the one we got ... SmartLight Stair Gate by Safety 1st.

Re: Top of the stairs gate
I would never trust a pressure mounted gate on the top of the stairs. We have them blocking doorways and DS is always knocking them down. We got a safety first and DH screwed it into the walls. The holes suck but, they can be fixed when we take it down.

Re: Top of the stairs gate
We have wooden stairs so we got this one. I love it and it is easy to use (also has to be mounted to the wall). It is Evenflo and you can find it at BBB or babies r us

This is the one we have on all our stairs. We've had them up for 3 years now between the 2 kids and no problems at all.

Re: Top of the stairs gate
I have a really nice one I bought in Target. Its by Summer. It is pressure mounted and if you want it can be drilled into the wall. I chose not to. It is very pretty. Brown with a little arch. I think it was around $64.00 and it comes with extension pieces and you dont have to purchase extra. I love it and think its a great gate.
Also, Its so EASY to assemble

I agree.... My boys lean on ours and even tried to climb it a few times. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I'd only use a pressure mount at bottom of stairs or to block a room.

Re: Top of the stairs gate
I would never feel safe using a pressure mounted gate at the top of the stairs.....way too risky imho
