Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Install safety gates at both the top and bottom of stairs. Use gates that use tension rods or that screw into stair handrails and open with a latch screw.
Step2
Keep stairs free from clutter: toys, shoes and anything else that could cause a fall.
Step3
Make sure your handrails extend the entire length of the stairway. If not, install handrails that do.
