I used a carpeted ramp that had a high side to it, and still I had to coax my little ones with food. Kiwi, my baby who savored every bite when she ate, still was very hesitant because she was afraid. I kept holding her under her belly and almost carried her up and down the ramp several times until she was less afraid to do it on her own. I am sure your husband could make stairs or a ramp that is much safer and that your baby will be much more likely to use.
