Anyone in SA had to childproof an unusually large set of stairs? The modular systems from Chellino etc are 20cm too short even with all the extensions in!

I have 8 month old twins and it is only a matter of time before they head in opposite directions and one goes head first down my stairs while I'm chasing down the other.

Any advice welcome, please!

I guess that Child Craft has a bigger one too! It's 108 inches! They are carried by Walmart, but you can also find it on Amazon.

It's 157 cm....and unforntunately same width the entire way up :( I will have a look at the Child craft one, maybe my handyman can extend it a little further? Who stocks them?

is it possible for you to gate it just a little further up the stairs? Or are they really wide all the way up?

Child Craft has a baby gate that expands to 60 inches (152.4 cm) that is certified for the top of the stairs. That is the biggest one that I found though.
