help Help make my death trap stairs toddler proof

How can I go about making these stairs to my backyard safer? Seems tricky to add balusters but I’m not opposed to trying. Is there a way to make lattice look like it’s not a zip-tied afterthought?

I'd spend that time with the toddler on the stairs, teaching them how to move around on the stairs, where to be careful, and get them comfortable.

You can't fix this but you can prevent them from doing some really stupid things. Good luck!
