Yeah! Kids are very smart. But it looks like we now have some good
suggestions. I'll start looking into things.

Ben,
Your situation sounds exactly like mine. I have a 4 year old little girl who
loves to explore anything except her actual toys lol.

We too are renting and we too have found the gate somewhat useless.
The only thing I tried that worked for a while was adding a bell to the gate
so I could hear it open and close when she snuck in. However, she quickly
figured that out and was opening the gate as silently as a super spy.

I'm open to hearing other's suggestions as well. At this point, every
cabinet and drawer is once again baby locked. I feel like I'm going
backwards lol.

Ashleigh M.
