Toddler in a MH

Hello:

We went out this weekend (the weather was spectacular), and came across a problem. Our 18-month-old granddaughter came to visit at camp. It immediately became clear that the stairwell was dangerous to toddlers. As with any danger, it became a toddler magnet. How do you protect kids on the stairs? We are afraid she will take a header off the top.

Thanks, and happy camping!

  • When our daughter was that age, we had to hold her hands and guide her down the stairs. We had to constantly watch to make sure she did not push the screen door open and take the big fall down 4 stairs. It was a battle because I worry about my girl. Now that she is almost 3, I still have to make sure she hangs onto the handle as she steps down the stairs.
