English term or phrase: places each foot on each step
He can alternate his feet going up, and going down he places each foot on each step.

这个动作怎么表达才通顺?是关于小孩子动作发育的。就是在他下楼时,每一级楼梯,每一只脚都要放上一次,不像大人,每次一只脚踩一级台阶。

怎么说才顺?

Chinese translation:每下一级台阶都是两只脚先后踩上去
Explanation:
整句翻译:
上楼时,两只脚会交替着各踩一个台阶登上去;下楼时,每下一级台阶都是两只脚先后踩上去。
我觉得:
1. 上楼下楼必须明确说出来。
2. 加上“先后”二字比较清晰吧。
这样的表述多少带有个人偏好。我描述自己孩子两岁前上下楼梯的方式就是这样表达。

两只脚各踩上下两级踏步


Explanation:
我想整句可译为:两只脚可分别踩在上下两级踏步上,一步一台阶地下楼。

他可在其一只脚踏上台阶后,再放另一只脚


Explanation:
“他可在其一只脚踏上台阶后,再下另一只脚。”(下脚的说法是有的,如不喜,可换成“再放下另一只脚”/“另一只脚再跟上”)

==================
不过我想补充一下自己的理解,可能不对,供您参考,拆分后1.He can alternate his feet going up, and going down
2.he places each foot(单数,一只脚放在一个台阶上) on each step这句我觉得意思是,“他可以左右脚交替,一步一个台阶地上去”。或者“他可以交替踏步上下台阶”。

在每一级楼梯上,把两只脚都踩上去


Explanation:
going down he places each foot on each step:

下楼时,在每一级楼梯上,把他的两只脚都踩上去后再下。

Here, “each” means each and every one; both.
