I'd only buy one stairgate (to put at the top) unless you have uncarpetted stairs, as by the time they learn to climb stairs, you can teach them to go back down safely (backwards).
Both our children were competent at stair climbling both up and down by 18 months, and now it is quite funny watching the 20 month old slide down the stairs on his tummy backwards using his feet occasionally to slow himself down.

This world is very real and itÂ’s the only life we will ever have. What
we do here matters and its up to us to make it a better place. Do what
you can to reduce pain, misery, and suffering, and to promote
happiness, contentment, and pleasure in this life for yourself and those around
you. Find your spiritual inspiration from the natural world, from the
trees and flowers around you, and from the clouds and stars in the sky
above us. Probably those of us alive today will never know all the
answers, but if the human race is lucky, some day some one will and they
will depend on our contributions here, today to get there. I like to think
they will look back in thanks for what we have preserved and
accomplished for them.
