Anyone use 'travel' stairgates?

We need another 3 stairgates, but don't really want to fix them permanently when they might not be in use for more than another year or so. An option might be to get a travel stairgate, which we can move around as we need to, but I've heard that they're not very strong, and can damage plaster. Has anyone used them?

Thanks in advance

personally we found them useless, but I know people who like them, if you just get a pressure one you can move it around!

We used one at my parent's for a while and it was pretty useless. It moves with the slightest amount of pressure applied to it. We've only ever had pressure fitted gates and they're fairly easy to put up and take down and don't leave any marks from screws etc.

PITA IMHO...

We must be the only one who finds them ok then, Gracie has one at her bedroom door as if it's not there she arrives beside me at 3am pillow in hand but when it is there she doesn't even waken! having said that she has got under it a couple of times. THe gate we have at the top of the stairs is a pressure gate and it is great

Thanks all, not sure about travelgates then, particularly if LO's can get under them We have two flights of very,very steep stairs (not counting the cellar steps) and I can't risk Jasmine falling down them.

Think I'll get a pressure gate to try

Yeah we have a travel one. It is really rubbish and Ella can get through it if she tries hard enough. I use it in the kitchen if I'm dyeing or working at the weekend. We have a fixed Ikea one at top of stairs, which is thousand time better.
