Ever since Stella has been super mobile, I've had some anxiety about the old wrought iron railing that surrounds the stairway to the garage. She can easily crawl underneath it as well as get her head or other limbs between the railing. So, I mocked up a cardboard barrier and eventually replaced it with a more attractive clear plastic deployment. I bought a big sheet of plastic, cut it based on my mock up, drilled holes in the plastic, and attached it to the railing with zip ties. It was more work than I anticipated, but it was worth the piece of mind and looks a lot better than cardboard. We also have a baby proofing strap that goes around the latch so she can't even lift up the latch (not pictured here).
