| Stairs or Ramp..? Well our wonderful maid thought it would be a good idea to step on Pnut's step to clean our fan! Lol it turns out it didnt hold her and we now need a new one Lol. So I'm not sure about your babies.. ( it would be great to hear what they like) Peanut likes to go down them, but doesnt like to jump up. I'm always picking him up! Lol so Dh was thinking he might do better on a ramp. However I'm not sure so it would be great to hear what your babies do best on and dislike!!

| I prefer raps over steps as steps still cause a jolt as they go down them. |

| I still haven't gotten anything for Mandie and I desperately need to. I will get a ramp because she just loves jumping..I think she wouldn't have the patience for steps lol

| I think the same about my boys, they would probably jump over the stairs. When we finally get something, it will be a ramp.

| I use stairs right now for my girls. But would consider a ramp. When they get excited and run up the stairs we have had problems. So a ramp may be a good idea.

| Yup, this is what Peanut does! He will go on the bottom step, then try to jump up the rest!

YT 500 Club Member | We have stairs now but I am about to switch them out for ramps. Twice at night my boy has missed a step and hurt himself. I think they will both do much better with a ramp.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I think it's pretty easy to train them to use the steps, but I feel like you have to train them if you want them always to do it the same way. We train up and down and cheerio’s are a great treat for my boys, hold a cheerio and guide them with my hand or put one on one of the steps. Hope you new maid wasn't hurt!
