I’d get a pool noodle over that glass staircase immediately.

I've been scouring for this comment. Since having a baby I see everything as a death trap

Some kids are nonstop chaos. All toddlers/babies are clumsy. Just better not to risk something easy to prevent like gashing their face on unprotected edges, putting fingers in an outlet, or getting crushed by unsecured furniture.

I don’t (and won’t) have any kids and I reacted to that staircase the same way!

Regardless of a baby in the house, what's the point of having it? It's not going to support weight in the event of a fall and it's dangerous as hell.

Fuck you money, I know.

It's probably plexiglass. No sane developer would install regular glass railing that way.

They do cover those edges with a plastic or tin rim, but it's really thin, and barely visible in this video. If it's plexiglass, the edges can also be sanded to be less sharp.

Kid might only be allowed in that room because mom is there, that looks like a hard house to childproof and would probably ruin the style - wouldn't be surprised if they have a dedicated playroom.
