Try pressure mounted?
I personally wouldn't be comfortable with anything not hardware mounted for the top of the steps

Just search for a pressure mounted one and make sure it's mounted onto a clean/smooth/flat surface on both sides and that it's snug and can withstand more pressure than the maximum your baby can push against it (even when throwing themselves against it).

Me too. Drilled holes can be filled and painted over and noone would even know it ever happened.

Another factor is whether this is a secondary precaution and the baby won't typically be roaming the upstairs floor unsupervised, or if this is for regular household use and the baby will be pressing against this gate screaming on a regular basis.

If you already have a railing you might be able to attach that side with zip ties
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Nice tip, some railings are rounded and likely not reliable to support a pressure-mounting.

I assume he wasn't talking about a pressure mounted gate

See if this helps

Looks like smart design, better than pressure mounting. At the same time it adds another point of failure compared to a gate that has that built in one side.

Bottom line, whatever the OP does, these things need to be mounted properly and periodically stress tested.

Yes, just have to make sure it will fit with your banister. Wouldn't work for mine (I was actually looking for the bottom of the steps and ended up getting a freestanding pet gate that I wouldn't recommend for the top of the steps)
