Can you open and close gate with one arm (with a baby in the other arm)?

Yes you can. It works very easily. It is a very light metal-type gate. I carry my 6 yr old granddaughter through it all the time. You just pull up on the lever and turn it in the direction that you want the gate to open.

Yes, it is very easy to open and close with only one hand. Just pull up and turn to open, will latch itself when you swing it closed.

Yes, with one hand. You push a safety release button on the left side (with hand or foot) and then push and twist/turn the handle at the top and it closes in a snap. This truly is a fantastic stroller. My only complaint is that when using the infant car seat adapter (not included) you must remove it or the stroller will not close. Not an issue if you don't intend to use it this way. Even with this slight hassle, I would buy this stroller again hands down. Oh, and I have it in black not silver.

Yes you can remove the gate very quickly when not in use. I also can open it with one hand if needed.

The gate can be locked AND opened from either side as you get two sets of keys with it. This item is a huge hit in our neighborhood as each neighbor who hears about it (and then see it in action) has purchased. I'm so glad we got this and feel much safer now.

On the side of the stroller there is two latches that you pull up. Pull both up at the same time

No. A rectangular part of the gate slides into a rectangular opening on the bracket to latch. At an angle, the two wouldn't be able to line up.

Yes, push down and turn the release knob on one side of the gate; then, with the same hand, pull and hook to implement the gate, or unhook and let the gate retract. When implementing, the gate automatically locks after hooking; when retracting, the gate automatically rolls back into itself. I have 2 one year old grandchildren, and 4 gates. Do the baby plus gate exercise often and easily.

Hi Amy, Unfortunately, no the door cannot be switched to open in the other direction.

You have to slide a switch and lift the gate simultaneously. It sounds trickier than it is. It is easy to get the hang of. But yes it probably would be tough for someone with arthritis. I can't imagine a functional baby gate that wouldn't be because if the gate is easy to open, a toddler will figure it out.

yes. Your 13 month old could open it from one side (the other would be harder but doable). I would just keep it high enough on the door that the 3 year old can reach it, but not the 13 month old.

It would depend upon how much force your child would use to open the gate (pushing instead of raising the latch) as well as how you have it attached on either side. I have one side that is not screwed in--just uses pressure against the wall and with enough pushing pressure, you can push down the gate.

Yes if gate is a pedestrian gate and not for vehicle access. There is a different opener for that.

Yes it can open from just one side but I feeli like its easier to get the kids out if both sides are undone.

No. I had trouble using it with two arms. Although I have a solid door and put it on, it slipped off and the whole thing came down and hit me in the head. I threw it in the garbage.

The gate does close behind you as long as you don't open it beyond the stay open position. I use the gate for my dogs, so I certainly don't have to lock it. You won't have to lock it for babies and small children either as you have to raise a lever and pull up to open it. It is a really great gate.

Yes! It's super easy. There is a little connector in the middle under the tray. You can pull it with one hand and hold a baby in the other hand.

No, it is a bit finicky sometimes, but overall I love having the gate. I can open it with one hand, and it is much easier on my back, and safer than trying to climb over carrying my grandbaby! Just make sure the hinges between the gate and the panels are straight, if not it is very difficult to open and close. I had one set wrong and was cursing the darn thing until I realized what was happening. I leave it open a lot so that my granddaughter who is 10 months can go in and out, which she enjoys. I only close it when necessary.
