I initially bought gates that did not open and when I got pregnant again realized how difficult it was to constantly step over them. I have since gotten these dream baby gates (in white) and I love them! We have them all over our house. They swing open both ways and latch closed by themselves. Lots of places sell them, too -- and you can get extenders.
We have the Evenflo Secure Step and it works great! It is secure (DD has gven it the shake test numerous times already) and easy for adults to open once you get the hang of it.

We have two of this one. I like how it is taller, so there is no danger DS will be able to crawl over it.
