Disclosure: I received a Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool to facilitate my review. I was not required to write a positive review. My opinions are honest and my own.
My granddaughter and I have been in love with the Little Partners Learning Tower I reviewed in November, so I was very happy to be asked to do a review of the new Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool. I really appreciated the sturdy and safe construction of the original Learning Tower. Because it’s designed to hold up to 500 pounds, though, it is large and not super easy to move around. It’s perfect for activities where a child stands at the counter to help with a project like baking or works at his or her own activity close to an adult (very useful during those “sticky” toddler stages where the toddler likes to be near someone at all times).
The new 3-in-1 step stool has the same safe, sturdy construction but is also easily movable.
About the 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool by Little Partners
- The 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool is a super-safe stool manufactured by Little Partners.

- There’s a 3-position adjustable height.
- The tongue in groove assembly gives the step stool lots of strength and stability.
- It supports both children and adults up to 250 lbs.
- It works perfectly in the kitchen, bathroom, or nursery.

My Experience with the 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool
Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool Storage
The 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool was easily assembled. It was also easily moved to where I wanted it. I decided to store mine in the bathroom right off my kitchen. That way, Zoey can use it in the bathroom, and my husband and I can use it as a step stool in the kitchen. Except for the lowest height using the double board, the steps aren’t very deep for an adult, but they still work. And I love that it’s so sturdy. I can feel safe and stable reaching the highest cabinets in my kitchen.
Stepping up on the Little Partners Footstool at 17 Months
Using the Little Partners Footstool to Wash Hands at 17 Months
Using the Sink Independently at 17 Months with the Little Partners Footstool
Another day, I tried leaving the step stool next to the cold-water faucet so that Zoey could be completely independent in washing her hands. With the step stool in this position, she can turn on the cold-water faucet (but not the hot-water faucet) and wash her hands safely and independently.
Zoey was so proud … as you can see in the photo! 🙂
The 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool is another product I highly recommend because of its safety and high-quality construction.

This would be the perfect gift for my son’s first birthday. He may have to wait a couple of months to really enjoy it, but I like the symbolism of leaving infancy behind and heading into toddlerhood. Such a big step!
My 2 year old son is a little guy and he has trouble reaching the sink to wash his hands with the small step stool we have. I would love to have this higher step stool for him to make washing hands easier.
I would love this to give my son a boost when he washes his hands!!
It is a perfect time to have one for our almost 2 year old.
PD: cute bb!
I went over to their site for the extra entry and I was surprised to read that the Learning Tower has an Art Easel that can be purchased separately and added onto the tower. Easels take up so much space alone and this is a nice feature because you can have one product that does double duty!
Grandma comes to cook with us each week as a part of our homeschool and we have been having such trouble with little ones being able to reach the counter. This would be quite a blessing and a good solution!
My kids love to help bake and help make dinner but neither can reach the counter without a stool. This looks like a nice safe option for my little helpers!
This would be great in our bathroom. We just put in a new vanity and it is very high compared to our old one, my son and daughter cannot reach the faucet anymore

I am currently pregnant with our third child so this would be such a neat help around our house. Thank you for the giveaway.
Such a cool product. It is a perfect time to have one for our almost 2 year old.
This would be wonderful for my niece. She’s 15 months old and is really starting to show her independence. She’s started helping out in the kitchen, and something like this to facilitate her independence would be wonderful.
I like the side rails on this step stool.
This would be very useful for my 2 year old daughter, so she could help wash dishes, and reach the sink to brush her teeth 🙂
I would like this for my daughter because she has trouble reaching things sometimes.
I would love to win this, it would come in very handy for my kiddo who is short, he can’t reach the countertops yet or the lights.
We would love to win this! I am currently homeschooling 7 children and also have a 4 year old and my 2 year old grandson in the midst of it all. This would allow the 2 youngest to be safe and independent with hand washing and kitchen sink water play while I teach. It would also be wonderful for my meal prep helpers! Thank you for the opportunity!
the reason that i would love to win this is because my daughter emmy always steps on the toilet to turn the water on whenever her brother isnt around to help her. i have told her a million times to just ask me and i will help her but she is very independent and doesn’t like to ask for help. it scares me that one day she may slip and smack her head on the sink. but with this i wont have to worry and she will still be independent!
My son would use this for quite a few years in many rooms of the house.
My son has been asking to help with the dishes, so this would be perfect for him to be able to help me.
I didn’t realize that this was made by the same folks who make the full Learning Tower, which is such a cool product!
