[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard no. Baby and groceries. Baby and car seat bucket. Baby and sibling in a few years. Stroller after someone in the building reports theirs was stolen.

Also toddlers are PAINFULLY slow on stairs. So it will take 5 min (not joking) for your kid to get up or down the stairs and you can't just run and put stuff down while wait. So imagine coming home from work with your work bag, dinner, your jacket, kid jacket, and then step, wait. Wait. Wait, step, tell you something, step, look at the wall, step, wait. Wait. Wait. Step.

If it was your only option, fine. Not saying you have to spend 25k more, but 5-8 stairs maybe. 30?? Heck no. I want to kill myself watching my 2.5 year old on 13 stairs. [/quote]

OP here. All storage units are locked. We wouldn’t keep it in the foyer because it’s so small. I didn’t realize little kids are that slow on stairs. [/quote]

Not all kids are slow on stairs.  For better or worse, my three-year-olds are faster than me.

I don't think the kids on the stairs are really the problem here.  It's how are you logistically going to handle carrying things up and down the stairs?  Particularly when you have two kids?  If your current child is not compliant, you'll still need to hold his hand to keep him from running away a few years from now if/when you have a second child.  I think you'd find ways to manage if you only need to deal with the kids, but it will be particularly challenging anytime you have anything besides the kids to carry.[/quote]
