Use Of Play Yards And Baby Gates, How Many Use Them?

[WImom]

I have a gate to keep my pets out of the daycare and I am actually buying a super yard tonight. This is for my new 24m old I asked about the chair (booster chair strap tread). I've decided instead to have my husband gate off an area with the super yard. I figure better than the booster and my older kids can use it if they are working on a small piece puzzle or a toy with little pieces. (24 month old likes to eat everything)

I have gates at my stairs and entryway. I also will be installing a gate at my kitchen entry. I have a gate between the daycare room and nap room. The last gate is by the playroom stairs. All of my gates are permanent. I am not licensed yet (actively working on it) but have children of my own.

The only gates I currently use are a pressure mounted one at the front door to allow air flow and keep the kids in. And then we have a SuperYard around our BBQ and older kids sports stuff on our back patio to keep inaccessible from the kids. We have a really open floor plan so there is no gating off anything but the hallway to the bathrooms and bedrooms. I thought about installing a permanent walk-thru type there but it hasn't been necessary yet and I'm afraid of it adding too much time for Potty training in the future.

I have a walk-thru gate that seperates the 'baby room' from the main playroom. This is where the infants and young toddlers go for safety sake (ie:crawlers not getting stepped on by bigger kids, all toys in there completely safe for infants, etc.)
