| stair safety In our home, we have a upstairs landing that looks over to our foyer. Alexis easy slides through the rails. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to put up so that she doesn't go over? I've tried lattice and my husband said it looked tacky. I can't seem to come up with anything else. |

| Possibly put up some clear lexan or plexi glass?

| Possibly some white or clear colored netting? It wouldn't be as noticable as the latice.

| I have the same situation and I've put a small loveseat in front of the balcony railing with a large mexican print blanket draped over the actual railing looking down into the living room. They've never been curious to try and get behind the loveseat but they'd just have a blanket there if they did. I also have a baby gate on the stairs so they are never up the stairs unless I'm right there with them each night when we all go up to bed.

| Glad we could help! I actually saw this on a home improvement show for a family that had little kids.
