At what age should a toddler be able to go up and down one step without holding on?

Question

We have a sunken living room and she crawls up and down them at 18 months now. Just curious.

Answer

My 19 mo can go up and down stairs by herself if there is a banister. If there isn’t she will grab my hand. Sometimes when she is in a rush or lazy she crawls up them. But I live in a ranch style home so she really has no steps or staircase to practice on on a daily basis 🤷🏻‍♀️ She’ll get it eventually.

Answer

My 19-month-old has been climbing stairs no problem for quite some time now.
