    Nope, what you do is you take all the twin-size box springs, and stack them starting from the bottom of the stairs, and as you work your way up, you use the mattresses. That way you start with a couple of soft bounces, and you land in relative safety.

    I used this with great success when babysitting.

    It was the first, and last, time I was asked to babysit those children.

    see, this is what's wrong with the world today. You shouldnt have been banned from babysitting these kids. It's the parents responsibility to supply you with helmets. ;)
    awesome idea.

    I say we outlaw stairs altogether. Elevators or padded ramps are the only options now, including leading into the home. We can't have kids shielded from the harsh reality of stairs inside the home and then expose them to concrete steps the moment they walk out the door. We probably ought to put some sort of padding on any curbs, too. Hav eyou ever seen a kid fall of a bike near a curb? It's not a pretty sight.

    laundry basket...you gotta hold the front end up, and lean back so you don't catch it on the first step...sheesh.

    and there are less accidents involving stairs because they banned those baby walkers that kids seemed to always want to go down whilst being strapped into one...

    I may or may not have personal experience with both...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    yes...and it's not because I did the same thing conman did...I had a very inattentive parent. I took lots of tumbles down the stairs....or it was because she dropped me. :?

    holy crap!!! I just realized I am a terrible parent! When my oldest son was just learning to crawl, I had him and his infant brother out in the front yard. I was checking on the baby and I hear what sounds like a bowling ball being rolled down the concrete steps which led up to the front door of the house. I turn around to find that he had crawled up the steps and fell back down, hitting his head a few times. This all happend in a matter of seconds, he was a fast crawler. The worst was that he had a big scratch and bump on his cheek, so when his mother saw that: "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY!?!?!" :roll:

    It's never too late to report yourself to the proper authorities. :lol:

    another story: When the same son was learning to walk and constantly grabbing onto things for balance. someone (cough*exwife*cough*) left one of those big Yankee Candles burning on a placemat on the kitchen table. I remember being in the other room, smelling the candle, then I didn't see him and just that quick as I was running in there, I hear a loud smash, a cry and I immediately knew what happened. As soon as I get in there, I grab him in one arm, stick his head under the faucet and with the other hand turn on the water as I thought the hot wax was burning his face and eyes. Luckily it wan't hot enough to burn and he had a little cut on his cheek. But what a pain getting all that wax off his eyelashes and eyebrows. Before his mother had a chance to try to blame me for it I explained how stupid it was to leave anything where he could reach it (she still thought it was my fault for letting him out of my sight :roll: )

    it's amazing our kids survived.
