I also imagine simply having a handrail on the side walls would do a lot to make them seem safer.

Yes but still not legal, even a handrail on both sides won't cut it. Must have solid or stiles close together so a kid can't get through if he tries.

I say he because little sugar&spice&everything-nice would behave better.

Yeah, I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that those cables supporting the inside edges of each step are close enough together (I think 4 inches?) that they met that requirement. But it's hard to tell from the pictures. They are probably too far apart to meet US codes.

Any cute lady friends (that make a habit of wearing skirts/dresses), would grow weary of me sending them upstairs to get things.
