I have two sets put together so that they reach our bed. I have at least one set (and sometimes two) at every couch, loveseat, bed or bench at our house.
One tip - I put pillows everywhere I thought they may want to jump off of when my 2 were little. We have tile floors and I didn't want them to jar their joints. |

I have steps for Jada too. Bogie refuses to use them, but he is bigger and a lot sturdier. I have a set at the couch and loveseat and one at the bed. Before I was sure she would use them all the time, I too had pillows lined all along the floor in front of the couch and loveseat. I was terrified of her breaking a leg or worse. She would come flying off the couch if she heard something and go running at breakneck speed to the door. She still runs like a maniac if she hears something outside, but she always uses her steps. I keep mine on rubber backed bathroom rugs to keep them from sliding around on the hardwood floors. They will scoot around if you don't have a carpeted floor.
