I need ideas..getting a bed but bedroom upstairs..

Our stairs are dangerous for her to try to go down alone. They are slippery and steep hard wood. She is getting her own bed in May (she will be 2) so that we can use the crib for the new baby. How can I put her in her own bed but not let her wake up in the morning and try to go down the stairs????

So, your little girl will be upstairs and you will be downstairs? I think your best bet is to get a baby gate and put it against her door. Use the baby monitor to let you know when she wakes.

Good luck!

Ya I am thinking of getting a monitor and closing her door then putting a gate at the top of the stairs just in case she gets her door open before I can get up there? Originally we were going to have our room upstairs near hers but our bed wouldn't fit up the stairs (its a half floor and the stairs are immediately after the back door so we would have to take off the banister to get it upstairs)

I think a baby gate is a good idea. You could also get one of those door knobs they can't open by themselves...
