Kid-Friendly

We have a friend with a toddler staying with us right now, which has really helped us to see areas in our house that need to be childproofed. We've got so many stairs (having three stories) that I’ve had to buy numerous safety gates. I got the ones with latches that swing open like a door, so I won’t have to step over them and kill myself. I also want safety latches on every drawer and cabinet in the kitchen and bathroom, while Dave would rather just put up a gated partition and be done with it. I think it’s best to have both, for the times when we forget to put the partition back up. I don’t want to have to trip over it when I don’t need to, like when she’s napping.
