We put our babies in the laundry room when we leave, which leads out to the garage. So we put a gate up that leads to the kitchen and leave out the garage door. Well our garage door was recently broken for about 5 days so we had to leave out the front door...meaning we leave from the gate side of the laundry room. This, I believe, is what has prompted Roxy to jump over the gate...starting yesterday. This was with a 24" baby type gate that she could get her feet up in. So I went and bought a metal gate that is 30" tall and only has vertical bars...she still jumped over!!!! I don't want her to hurt herself when jumping, plus I don't trust her loose in the house yet. Hopefully now that our garage door is fixed, she won't want to jump over the gate to see where we are...but has anyone else had a similar problem? How did you fix it?
