I love the concept of this kitchen tower, and so does my daughter. It allows her to stand at the kitchen counter and “help” us prepare food, which makes her feel like she’s a part of things. I compared a lot of different kitchen helper stools before settling on this one, and most of them have one of two designs: some are completely enclosed on four sides, and others that are open on two sides (usually with an upper crossbar, like this model). Personally, I don’t think either of these designs is perfect, and I’ll explain why.
The fully enclosed towers are nice for safety reasons because once your toddler is in the tower, he/she won’t be able to get out easily, and certainly won’t fall out. The downside is that you have to lift your toddler all the way up and over the side walls to get him in or out of the thing. For some people this may not be an issue, but when you are several months pregnant it’s a no-go — just ask my wife!
As for the towers with open sides, my concern there is safety: your toddler could more easily fall out, or even just put a foot too close to the edge and have it slip out of the tower. Are there any advantages to the open design? I suppose once your toddler is large enough, he could climb in and out without assistance, but it’s a tricky maneuver and certainly one our 18-month-old isn’t ready to do yet!
So what might be a better design? I would love to find a tower that is fully enclosed on the four sides but has one side that can swing open like a door. Then you would have the best of both worlds: a tower that your toddler could easily climb into (with the door “open,”) but then couldn’t easily fall out of once you latched the door closed. Frankly I’d be surprised if no one else had thought of this, so I’m stunned that I haven’t yet found a tower like this.
As for this model, it has a lot going for it:
1) It is easy to assemble. Aside from screwing the feet to the base, there really isn’t much that needs to be done.
2) It is sturdy and well made, and it folds compact for storage. Keep in mind, though, that the structure is sturdiest when you screw the floor panel in place, so folding it up would require removing this screw.
3) It’s actually quite nice looking! I like that it isn’t made of loud, colorful plastic.
4) It folds up for easier storage when you aren’t using it.
There are a few things I don’t like about it:
1) Again, related to its open design, a toddler could potentially fall if his/her foot slipped over the edge of the floor piece. And as we discovered with our 18-month-old, younger toddlers may be inclined to try climbing in and out of the tower, which is not easy to do and could easily result in a fall or bumping their heads on the tower’s upper crossbar.
2) Each of the four legs has two feet (which you attach during assembly). While these feet do provide extra stability and make the tower less likely to tip over, they also force the tower’s floor panel to be several inches away from the counter. If the tower is positioned so one of its “open” side faces the counter, this space would be easy for a toddler’s foot to slip into. Having said that, our daughter has never done this, but I worry about the possibility.
Overall I’m very happy with this counter stool, but I would love to see one with a lockable door on one side!

This kitchen helper is very sturdy! It is pricey but I feel that my 18m old is safe in it. He jumps on it and pushes it all around the kitchen and never tips over. It is easy to move but a bit bulky. Only one side of the back supports is assessable to allow lo in but that’s fine.
Package was very well packed with instructions and labeled hardware included (will need a screw driver to screw on the feet). Setup didn’t take too long, maybe about 15 minutes for one person. I didn’t need to adjust the height since my lo is just the right height atm. The platform has some grip so kiddo doesn’t slip. There are two clips—one on each side of the platform and one of them clicks in place and the other doesn’t. Per instructions, it is not meant to clip. One of the latches wasn’t latching but I loosened the screws a bit and voilà. Some of the feet didn’t align very well but I switched some around and that did the trick. I wish the predrilled holes were done better though. But all in all, great product. My baby loves it and I’m sure yours will too!

Very sturdy and easy to put together.

I have been looking for a kitchen helper for my daughter. We really want her to learn to help in the kitchen at a young age. From watching, doing sensory activities, and much more. This Kitchen Helper has surpassed all my expectations from the beautiful pink color to the functionality and durability. I love how the keepers and the secure design keep it stylish but super safe. My favorite part is the easy fold and storage.

My toddler granddaughter loves this. She can stand at the counter and help mama cook, do crafts and even have a snack and feel like a big girl. It’s extremely sturdy, easy to wipe clean, safe — the child can’t slip out, and it’s easy for the child to get in and out when the side is opened. The floor height is adjustable so this will be used for a long time.

Granted I did NOT want to spend this much on a toddler tower but its amazing. I love that it can be folded away & set up was so easy. The kids loooove it, can help cook and “clean dishes”. Adjustable height & the grip on the bottom is amazing! I never worry when they are in it & very easy to wipe clean.
Definitely worth it.

Works perfectly. Delivery was on time. My grand daughter is very happy with it. My daughter & son in law are also very happy and feel it is much safer than a stool they were using before. I also got a very good price on it. Very satisfied.

Great stand, my 2yo loves it. Would have gotten 5 stars but one of the latches was loose because a screw fell out a few days after using it. Still works. Very quick and easy to put together.

I just purchased this for my son when he turned 18 months and it is amazing! It was so easy to put together, amazing quality, and super durable. We use it multiple times a day and has been my best purchase ! My toddler is super active so it has been a great way to keep him safe and learning in the kitchen. I love that it is easy to fold and store away when not in use, and is super easy to wipe down and clean.

This toddler tower not only looks beautiful in our kitchen, but it is also functional and well crafted. We like how stable it is and how much independence it allows our toddler (14 months old). He is so much happier being in this and eating at the counter than he is in the high chair. When I was shopping for a toddler tower, one thing that was very important to me was safety. Because our child is on the younger side, I wanted enclosed sides and not a simple step stool type of tower. We feel safe and comfortable with him in this toddler tower.
We also like how it also allows him to be “involved”, or at least feel involved and included, during meal prep. We have also found it to be easy to clean and we appreciate that the mesh sides can be removed for cleaning.
While we haven’t collapsed it for storage yet, I do like that that feature is available. Lastly, this toddler tower was easy and quick to assemble, which is extra appreciated when you have a little one.

Sturdy and well constructed. Ships mostly assembled. You just need to put on the feet.
Quick shipping. Arrived before the estimated delivery date.

We’ve had this for just a couple days, and my son loves it. Super easy to set up. It was already assembled for the most part, just have to put the feet on with a screw driver. My son figured it out very quickly! It’s lightweight enough that he can push it around our kitchen. I love that it is adjustable and will grow with him!
