We live in a small 2 bedroom condo that basically has a front door that opens to a foyer with a coat closet and garage door. Then stairs lead up to the living area. The dilemma is due to space we have to put our cats litterbox in the garage with a kitty door leading out to it. We will need to put a gate up at the top of the stairs in a couple of months (our almost 5 month old is scooting now). However, we need a kitty door in the gate (one cat could jump over a gate fine, but our other 20 pound clutz would never make it)and no gates out there seem to have a solid door. I realize that a kitty door could be a potential hazard for the baby, but our place is small and I keep my eye on her all the time. I just need a gate to slow her down if she crawls fast toward the stairs. Not to mention, we could install the cat door that only opens when the cat is wearing the matching electronic collar.

So, does anyone know of a solid door gate? Any other ideas? I have thought of just using a playyard instead, but it would definately take up our entire living area. I would try to get my husband to make something, but we don't have the tools and he is gone a lot anyway (military). Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!
