 Gives your kid a safe step up! June 15, 2009

We have high sinks, faucets that don't extend very far out, and a child who is only barely at 50th percentile for height (just turned 2 at time of purchase). As we looked to encourage her to wash her hands (initially, just for general cleaniless, but later more frequently with potty training), I had a hard time finding a stool that was high enough her her to step up onto easily AND that would get her high enough to actually wash her hands. This stool is the solution!!
We first saw the floor model in a store but they had none in stock. We later bought online but for about $22-25. We have two - one in the kitchen, and one in a bathroom. The stool is heavy (read: sturdy, not going anywhere while your kid is going up/down), but was easy to assemble (arrives packaged flat). The stool is *not* a spacesaver, but given the drawbacks that other stools posed and the intended user, that was not our primary focus. We looked at more complex, expensive models (tower-like) that are interesting conceptually but much too large for our home (and also $80-100). We already own a couple of inexpensive step-stools, including one that it technically for children, but none of them went up high enough. One reviewer pointed out that these stools don't run up flush with walls, counters, etc. but have not found that problematic. I saw another model at IKEA ("Bekvam") that I think goes up plenty high, but it wasn't available at the time that we needed it, and when I actually saw it in person, I found that the distance from lower to higher step was really too great.
Initially we assisted our child in going up and down. One of our sinks is a pedastel and so we are very careful around that one. In the kitchen, with the counter to lean on, less supervision is needed, and now she can go down backwards by herself as well. We use it for handwashing, and now to do other things on the kitchen counter with her.
Stool availability seems to be an issue. I have tried to purchase four times (once in store, twice online in 2008, and now once in 2009, for another home) and each time they were out. Don't let that deter you - these are worth it!
Overall we are VERY pleased with these stools. Will be useful even after our child stops needing them. We have them in white, and they wipe clean nicely.

This stool is a little pricey for a child's step stool, but since it's used in our downstairs bathroom, which is also used for guests, I wanted something nicer that would fit our decor; not a plastic kid's stool with characters on it. My 2-year old daughter loves it, though. It's sturdy enough for her to climb on, and tall enough that she can reach the sink and soap when standing on it. Since using this stool, she has learned to wash her hands all by herself.
great stool for 2yr+ toddler October 14, 2009

My 2 year old was getting to be very independent and wanting to do many things for herself. Figured it was time to get a higher stepstool (we have the baby bjorn stool to help her climb into and out of bed, but needed a higher one for the bathroom sink and kitchen counter where she likes to help "cook" also). I was trying to choose between this one and a similar one with the storage option but figured that since we will be moving it back and forth (the bathroom is small, and stool would sometimes be used in the kitchen as well) the storage would work against us in weighing the thing down. additionally, this stool is 2 inches higher than the storage stool and every little bit counts as my little girl is a tad on the short side. We've been using the stool for over a month now and she loves it. she will carry it from its location by the wall to the sink and climb up to wash her hands (using a small bucket to catch the water since she still can't reach the faucet). and it's also encouraged her to use the potty since she can climb up on it by herself (with the shorter step near the toilet). all in all, I'm very happy with this stool and glad that I went with this option. For the kitchen, I'll probably buy a second stool as it's a pain to carry back and forth in the apartment.
good product, right height for 2 yr old April 3, 2009
