in my opinion all trees are equally dangerous... what we did was got a baby gate, it has section that you can odd or remove to make it the lenght that you want, so we just put the gate around the tree and presents....when they were little it was for safety reason.. now is to keep them away from the presents..LOL
This year we are going to try it with out the gate.
I am just so afraid the will be playing and some how knock it over in top of one of them.... its just horrible even thinking about it!

I know how you feel! My daughter is 16 months, and is at the climbing phase.
Christmas trees are incredibly dangers and toxic! This Christmas (and probably next year too) you should either try a fake tree, or forgo it completely. I think we will buy a small evergreen from the grocery store and place it on a counter. You will have plenty of Christmas' to enjoy the real deal!

Probably none would be good for a crawling baby. lol.. Ours is 8 months and he is getting into everything. I know when a tree goes up he is going to all over it. however you can always get like safety gates and stuff to put around the tree so your baby can't get over there. but if your baby is anything like mine, he puts everything he can in his mouth and if those needles fall off he/she is going to eat them! You can also try one of those mini trees to sit on a counter or table.

I agree with Michelle J. My son is 3 and he is a normal kid that like to get into things, and hes never going to learn whats ok to play with and whats not unless you let him know. Don't keep your baby away from everything, show them that way they aren't AS curious. You are never going to leave this kid alone with it. Anything can be dangerous in your house, but you over look them because they are there everyday. don't worry too much about it, show your child and make sure you watch them as well. Tell them no when they are getting too close or playing with something they should'n't have. My cousin always just put everything up and wouldn't set boundaries for her kids, now they are horrible, they get into everything cuz they were never taught. She also isn't able to have the stuff she likes in her own houes cuz of this reason.

See if you can get your hands on one of those old wooden playpens and put your christmas tree in it. That way you can have whatever tree you want and your baby won't be able to get into it and pull the decorations off and eat them too!

he is right i have a 9 month old who will be 10 months on Christmas and I'm facing the same problem however we will have a tree and it will be fake until my son is old enough to not put stuff in his mouth. we are also going to put all ornaments up past his reach and somehow tie it to the wall

I can't agree with any of the answers....here's my reasons...
One...if you don't start now showing him boundaries, when are you going to start...so if you got a regular one or a fake one....he just needs to know not to touch. He is never going to be left alone with the thing. He's 6 months old!! Every child should know there are limits .... things to touch, things not to touch. No matter where he goes, these are the rules everywhere!!
I had a 10 month old for his first christmas last year, had a regular tree and he never touched it once.....and he only tried a couple of times... it wasn't new anymore, and problem was done.

It doesn't make a difference.
I have had a real tree every year since the twins were born and never had any problems. You just need to keep the baby away from the tree.
Clean the floor regularly and just keep an eye on any fallen needles.
