Toddler Falling Down Carpeted Stairs

My 2 year old fell down the stairs today at a birthday party right in front of my eyes.

Toddler falling down carpeted stairs.

A big awful sound scares jo and the mom as they run to find out a small toddler fell from the stairs. Rolled down them like a movie stunt man and hit the floor at the bottom. He went down two steps on his tummy onto a landing lost his footing and tumbled the rest of the way down. He has some lumps and carpet burn on his head but that seems to the be the extent.

I was not a fan of carpeting before moving into my current home where the stuff covers two stairwells and the whole second floor. Kids have accidents no matter how much we put in their path to prevent them. My 14 month old fell down stairs four days ago and im still so freaked out he cried right away and is fine except for a carpet burn on his right eye and nose but the guilt and shame you feel as a parent is unbelieveable im still having nightmares and i will never forget the noise of hearing my baby fall down stairs like other parents i. He is fine but i am not.

My daughter fell down stairs too. Because my 11 year old step daughter left the gate open. My heart stood still. I screamed when i saw him go over the first step.

My husband and my 13 year old son flew to the stairs but weren t able to catch him. Toddler fell down the stairs. There are tons of moms and dads that have had babies fall from changing tables or down stairs or off the bed my first born did that and i am sure there are a number of other typical accidents out there. I keep replaying it in my mind and crying.

Do you think safety at home is important.
