My BIL has one. I actually have a regular one and don't have any problems with Lulu and it. My BIL did say it was really good but the refills are a bit expensive. I do also remember reading about a few cats that had gotten hurt when the sensor went wacky.
If I were you I would get the First Years step on baby gates. They are pressure gates and there is pedal that you step on to open the gate. They are about $60 each but last forever and a day. The only way I wouldn't recommend you getting them is if you have a tiny. I know that Lulu would be able to slip through the bars and she is 3 lbs. Not sure how big your baby is...so it's a thought to ponder.
Good luck. I can imagine how frustrating that is to deal with.
