KidKraft? Step 'n Store Review

KidKraft? Step 'n Store
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We tried the cheap plastic bathroom stools like Spongebob, bjorn, etc. They are too light, too narrow, and too short.
The KidKraft is heavy so it doesn't get knocked out of place. It is quite sturdy. It is much higher than the cheap plastic stools so a toddler can actually comfortably reach the toilet AND the sink taps.
There are two problems with the Step N Store, but we could work around those problems whereas we could not work around the problems with the cheap plastic stools. The KidKraft's painted surfaces can be slippery especially if the child wears socks in the house. We put a non-slip film or rubber on ours. We put the non-slip rubber on the feet too because the stool can also slip on smooth floors. Also the KidKraft manufacturing is quite poor and we had to improvise with one screw hole that was not drilled properly. But the stool has done the perfect job for us ever since.

KidKraft Two Step Stool Review

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.

That extra step! Perfect for those hard to reach places, like brushing teeth and helping Mommy! This two-step stool has that extra step making it easier for toddlers as well as a few more inches in height. Sturdy KidKraft stool combines solid workmanship with style. Appropriate for children ages 3 to 8 years old.
