Safety with stair rails inside two storey home
my mum has a stair well inside her two storey home and would like to make
it safe for her first grandchild. we can get a gate to go at
the top of the stairs to stop bub from getting on the stairs that way.
/>but around the stair well mum has railings all around it. a lady and baby
visited her a few weeks ago, and that baby CRAWLED THROUGH THE RAILS and if
mum had not seen baby and DIVED to the floor to grab him, he would have
fallen straight through into the stair well. understandably mum is very distressed about this and would like to buy something to make it safe for children in future. any ideas?? they are to standard, we've had two builders inspect them to make sure when the house was built only a few years ago. thank you for the plywood advice, we will definitely look into this.
You can put tie wire between the bars so the baby will not have
access to the space between the bars and that tie wire will hold up
i agree with Keith he is right and you need to make it up too
code for the safety of all the people that go to your pad not just your
child i fell you should get a handyman in there or a contractor to fix
this problem or you could run plywood around it so there is no more opens
Here the spacing between spindles can be no greater then 4.5
inches.
The cheapest thing that can be done would be by blocking both the top and
bottom. This can be done with plywood or some type of gate hinged to the
wall with hooks on the stairway post. Depending on the width of stairs,
some folding gates are available. Check local hardware store.
if the baby crawled between the spindles,your stair rails are
not to code.stair rail codes specify that no opeing from floor to top rail
may be big enough to pass a 4'' sphere though
railing.
this code is primarily due to the average size of the circumference of an
infant is head as not to get caught causing
strangulation ,broken neck,hanging
