Go Clipless,

I was a new rider several years ago and had concerns about clipless pedals. I bought the Shimano Click'r pedal (PD-T421). Clipless on one side and platform on the other. The Click'r pedals supposedly require much less effort to get into and more importantly out of. Use with the multidirectional cleat SH-56 cleat I have never not been able to get out (unclipped) when necessary. Also I have not had them un-clip while riding. I convinced my wife to try this combination and she has done well.

I still ride them today. No reason to switch to another pedal.
