RE: A TRUE one-handed gate??
Do you want pressure mounted or harware mounted? Is there a specific width it needs to be? Will the First Yearrds Hands Free gate not workin your kitchen?
This is the gate we have on the stairs and it one handed. I can open it while carrying my 25# toddler or a whole basketof laundry. It is hardware mounted though. http://tinyurl.com/9pm5r Although it's a stair gate you could use it anywhere.
We also have this gate and like it a lot. Again, it is one handed. You can either pressure mount it or hardware mount it. If you use hardware it will swing open. If you pressure mount it you can just lift the whole gate and put it out of the way. We use it on the bottom of our stairs pressure mounted. http://tinyurl.com/83vpl
