Need a baby gate easy to open with one hand

SethandMelissa

Any suggestions? I have rheumatoid arthritis and not many are very twin & arthritis friendly.

I think one step ahead makes one that opens with your foot...you step on a little pedal and it opens.

We have this hands free one: https://www.amazon.com/First-Years-Hands-Free-Styles/dp/B000058CC7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1303615727&sr=8-1

i don't have one to recommend i just wanted to say that you have a LONG time before you really need to worry about baby gates. i wouldn't stress about finding one now. it'll probably be nearly a year before you need one and who knows what new stuff will be out by then

I also have the First Years Hands Free gate and I LOVE it!  It's so easy to open that even my 6 year old can get in and out.  I did need the extender to put it in my livingroom door, which I do not consider to be large, so that cost an extra $15.  I also like that is doesn't have a spring to shut if left open, so I can leave it open if I want to give DD extra freedom or after she goes to bed.

 I completely understand what you're saying. I should've mentioned that the gate is mainly meant to keep the dog from getting into the babies' things. We have a mischevious 3 year old basset hound who is quite the troublemaker.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies!

I have one blocking the dog bowls that has a pedal your step on. Very easy. I got it at target.
