London Underground: notice on the use of wider gates

A few days ago, I noticed this (see left) at King's Cross / St Pancras Underground station. I was carrying two pieces of luggage, but I was not travelling with children, and other than the aforementioned luggage, I had no other big items (equivalent, perhaps, to a child?). So can I use this gate or not? My head was in a bit of a muddle after sleeping little and travelling a long distance, so I really felt I was losing my mind.
