WHen DD started to crawl pretty well (I think 9 mo), I showed her how to crawl down the stairs. She did that until she could walk really well (15 mo), and then she could walk down holding my hand. After she could go up and down the stairs standing up holding the rails, then she started to do the scooting down on the bum thing for fun. Kinda backwards I thought. Now she is almost 2, she can go up and down the stairs unsupervised whichever way she feels like it.
