Toddler Standing Tower with 3 Safety Bars - Kitchen Stool Helper - Gray

UPDATED REVIEW 2/21/26: After receiving my feedback and discussing with the company, an updated version of this product was created. The new version DEFINITELY addresses all of the concerns that I listed in my original review. The updated version is more stable and has the safety issues addressed. The side openings have been closed off, and the back opening has been closed off with a removal piece of wood. The front of the tower also changed the horizontal pieces so they are less likely to be climbed. The new tower is more sturdy also. I updated my review from 1 star to 5 stars. The updated tower is very useful and my son likes it. It's important that when selecting a platform level, the child's hips are below the top bar. More importantly, the company took the time to read my review and update their product based on my concerns. All companies should be like this! A+ for customer service and product development.

Anyone buying this you are warned. Read below. As the saying goes, this item is a "solution in search of a problem." It looks like it would be useful and helpful, but it creates more problems than it solves. The ladder rungs on the back create the PERFECT climbing structure for kids. It only took 2 weeks for my 18 month old to figure out he could climb the outside like a ladder. Any time he saw the toddler tower, he'd try to climb the outside. He's able to grab the middle rung, pull himself up, then use the step as leverage the grab the higher rung. You know what's worse than a toddler falling? A toddler falling from 3ft high. And guess what, when you climb the outside of it, it's no longer stable so it can also tip. That's only half the problem. The tower is climbable from both ends! Even if I face the rungs towards the wall, my child will still try to climb the front of it. Guess what... due to the angle the front creates an even greater tipping hazard. Any remotely agile child will figure out how to climb it. So now imagine this... You spent hours babyproofing your house, just to bring in the equivalent of an infant jungle gym into the room. Even if you plop it in the corner, you child will still want to mess with it and figure out what it does. Attractive nuisance! Let's say you ignore my review thus far and decide that your child will never be allowed to touch the outside of the tower. OK great! You plop your child inside and put all the bars. You see that big hole on the left and right side? That's at the perfect height and width for a child to treat as a step. Your child sees something cool next to him, I guarantee he's going to step there and extend his reach. Now, let's pretend you use it correctly and your child has no interest in rock climbing. You move it to the kitchen and place it butted up against your countertop. Great, problem solved you think. Nope!!! The gap between the face of the tower and the countertop is just big enough for a small child to get their hand in between the two. The child will likely grab the front of this with one hand, and rock back and forth. The tower will sway/move just enough for the small hand/fingers to go down then be squeezed between the two. The shocked child will then flail more, which inevitably sways the tower to squeeze their hand more. If your house is babyproof or you care about your child's safety, do not buy this item. If you have live electrical wires and random 5 gallon buckets of water laying around, this is perfect for you.

Firstly, a heartfelt thank you to Ocodile for crafting such a high quality product for our little ones. Every aspect of the tower helper was meticulously designed, and it arrived impeccably packed with no damages. The inclusion of the non-slip stickers was a thoughtful touch and they work flawlessly! I also appreciated the extra details, such as the small box for tools adorned with the logo. The sturdy and beautifully crafted (we chose gray) wooden construction not only provides peace of mind as my little one explores the kitchen but also adds a stylish touch to our home. Personally recommended by my wife, this tower is ideal for parents seeking a blend of functionality, aesthetics, and elegance. At 11.5 months, my baby is 26.2 inches shorty ❤️, finds the highest step perfectly suited for her curiosity. This tower has truly transformed our family dynamics, offering a safe and engaging space for my little one in the kitchen. Gone are the days of cooking with the baby in arms or worrying about her crawling unsafely. I must emphasize that this product is worth every penny – a current essential for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend this perfect tower helper!

The first “tower” I purchased had the piece that you stand on split. I let them know and they had no problem with me sending it back. I ordered another one and they delivered it right away. They also discounted it for me which I wasn’t expecting but its very much appreciated. The tower itself is excellent. Very stylish and safe. I ordered the gray one. Very nice. The tower is made of a heavy smoothed out wood. It is labeled with stickers to help put it together. They include the hardware and the tool needed. The tower also comes with anti-slip stickers you can add to the steps. Also padded anti slip little foam things for each bottom of the legs so your floor won’t scratch. It also cleans up nicely if the child gets food on it. My 1 year old grandson loves it! I would not hesitate to use this company again. It is easily put together and fits perfectly with my daughter’s style. It’s been some time now and I just realized I never sent this review. I just purchased another one of these towers. This time for my grandson’s little brother. He is almost one year old. The 1st tower worked out great. My grandson is 2 1/2 now and still uses it every day. The 2nd one I just purchased for his little brother is all put together and waiting for the birthday boy. The company has changed the style a tad. They added two small extra “wings” to the legs of the tower, I am assuming for safety measures. Should be no chance of the tower tipping over if the child is rough on it. We have not had any tipping over issues with the old style either. I definitely recommend this company and this product.

This toddler tower is a game changer for this Nana’s sore back and arms. I decided to purchase it when my sweet 20 month old granddaughter insisted on “helping” me in the kitchen and wanted to be held while doing it. It’s sooo helpful for me to have her play or snack beside me while I’m meal prepping. She loves that she’s able to step up and down on her own. I can easily move it to the sink for her to wash her hands or play in the water while I’m doing dishes. We use it for her to stand beside her brother at the island when they color together. So many benefits! The tower was super easy to assemble, parts were marked and instructions were clear. I love that it’s sturdy and safe. I did realize that one of the two removable safety bars was a tad too long and there was a staple sticking out of it that immediately caused a gouge in the slot where it rests. The paint was also being scraped off on both slots because of the bar being too long. It didn’t affect the safety but it did look pretty bad after a few tries of forcing it to fit. I emailed customer service to ask if I could get a new bar and possibly some touch up paint. I received an immediate and most helpful response from Julia at Ocodile. I couldn’t believe it when she said she was sending me another tower! I’ve had several follow up emails since to make sure everything is ok with the new one. It was refreshing to have this type of positive customer service experience. Many businesses could learn from this company’s business model, from quality products to customer service. #toddlertower #julia

I hate putting things together, you never know how they’ll come out. When I opened the box I was stunned with the quality. It’s solid. It’s not a cheap wood that will fall apart or split when the screws go in. The instructions are all on the same page and easy to follow. Comes with the tools and all hardware needed. Once together it is so sturdy, I move it all around the kitchen for my helper many times a day. You can adjust the height level so it’s for kids of all ages and she LOVES to crawl up and down it and be a big helper. 100% recommend this product, wish I had bought it sooner.

Easy to put together and great quality. Very sturdy. I don’t know if my son is supposed to be able to climb into and out of it himself but he can’t because he can’t fit and he’s average size for his age (20M). Overall though worth it

Loved this stool best for its safety features and adjustability. I wanted to invest in something with rounded bars in the back to keep my 16-mo safe but also that could adjust to grow with him so we can use it for a long time. It’s a beautiful design, parts are well-labeled for assembly, and it’s not too heavy (we use in the kitchen & transport to bathroom for brushing teeth, etc). But most of all my son loves it! Dinner prep time can be the hardest time of day with a tired & hungry toddler who just wants to be close to mom. But this stool lets me invite him into the process of “cooking” or “washing dishes” (he pretends next to me), and this time has become so much more peaceful. A lot of sweet moments together! His foot slipped one time while on the stool, but he didn’t fall off because of the extra bar. Exactly why I got this stool. It is tempting for him to step in the gap on the side to climb higher, but I’m always with him and am actively training him to keep his feet on the platform. The rest of the features make it 100% worth it to me.

This is the best invention EVER. My biggest day to day struggle with my toddler has been making meals and doing the dishes. This is a game changer. Now she can be involved and she loves it! Which means I love it and I appreciate this soo much! It was easy to assemble. It is pretty bulky, for those who need something small, I would definitely look at the dimensions first. I love that the bottom can be adjusted to her height as well as the bars to her development. It wipes clean easy. And the grippy tape that is on the bottom is a great bonus feature. It is very sturdy and doesnt tip at all. Highly suggest! Update: it does tip if they hold onto the bar and hang off of the side- it does not tip of they are just using it the way it is meant to be used.. but you know... toddlers do what they want. - so now we have it mounted to the cabinet. We used slide in mounts so that we can shift her from the counter to the sink when she wants to help with dishes. We have had this for about 2 years now and it is still holding up great! And we still use it daily.

Easy to put together, well built & my 2 year old nephew loves it

This toddler standing tower has been a fantastic addition to our home. It’s very sturdy and feels well-built, giving me confidence that my child is safe while using it. The design allows toddlers to stand at counter height securely, which is perfect for helping in the kitchen, brushing teeth, or doing simple activities at the sink. I really like how stable it is—no wobbling or shifting once it’s in place. The safety rails are well-positioned, and the height is just right for growing toddlers. Assembly was straightforward and didn’t take long at all. Overall, this is an excellent learning tower that encourages independence while keeping safety a priority. Highly recommend for parents looking for a durable and practical toddler standing tower.

Facile à installer. Tout à fait Super pour les petits. Ils adorent monter sur les marchepieds et être à la hauteur . Plus facile pour eux de suivre nos activités (ex. lorsqu'on prépare des plats de cuisine, jouer à des jeux, converser avec d'autres adultes, etc.) Le tout est sécuritaire.

This is the BEST purchase I have made for my kid. She just turned 1 and is whiney when I make breakfast and so on, now she is right with me at the counter joining in on the action. The barbs behind her support so she can sit down in there too, im not worried about her falling out. Super easy to put together and very solid and feel safe with her in it. Love it so far. Looked at bunch of these online here but glad I spent the extra and got this one.

Solid build, I got the darker one and the color is very nice
