Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool Review

April 23, 2015 By Deb Chitwood

Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool

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.
  • It’s made from durable birch wood with poplar core LVL Construction. (Like the Learning Tower, it has a very nice finish and feel. The beauty of it fits well with the Montessori philosophy of having the child’s environment as attractive as possible.)
  • 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.
  • The 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool  is available in white, grey, or espresso.

You can follow Little Partners via Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. You can even get optional giveaway entries for following Little Partners (and Living Montessori Now) through various social media formats!

Affiliate: The 3-in-1 step stool is also available in a variety of colors through Amazon.

My Experience with the 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool

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.

Zoey found it very easy to use the step stool independently. She easily climbed the steps. The side rails made it extra safe.

Zoey LOVES to wash her hands (for long periods of time), and she felt very safe and secure using the Little Partners step stool for hand washing.

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.

    I learned that two children can safely stand in the Learning Tower at one time.

    I want to win a Little Partners 3-in-1 Growing Step Stool because my 3 year old daughter has a hard time reaching the sink to wash her hands, and I don’t feel safe letting her use a regular step stool unless I’m right there to help her out. I would feel safe with this one and she could have a little more independence, which she desperately wants!

    I would love to have this for my grandkids. They have a small step stool but this would be better.

    We have boy/girl twins turning 3 in July. We would love to win this stool because the other IKEA stools that we purchased are WAY to small for them. The whole point of the stools was to encourage them to do things as independently as possible (wash hands, clean off toys, rinse off brushes, etc.), but they still need an adult to help because those stools aren’t tall enough. We are hoping to win so we can further foster self-reliance and independence.

    I have children of all ages using the bathroom , the step stool I currently use is one size fits all. Id love to have the opportunity to win the little partners 3 in 1 step stool. I can see how this stool would be great around the house as well.

    I would love this so my little boys can help me in the kitchen more easily and safely instead of standing on a chair!

    My little daughter is growing fast. Almost 18 months now and starting kindergarden. I am soooo happy we got her in at the local montessori kindergarden, although she is still getting used to not having the parents around 24/7 I am sure she is going to loce it here. Now I am all montessori-inspired, reading blogs and trying to make our home more montessori friendly. This would be perfekt for my little one for the years to come. Preferably in the kitchen so she can help out or just watch us as we make food.

    I would love to win this step stool for my twin daughters, who are just under 2 years. It would be super helpful to have a step stool that they can use to get up towards the sink for hand washing – they are getting heavy!

    I would love this for my daughters. They both love to help in the kitchen, and this would make things a lot safer!

    Perfect for my kids! They always want to see what Im doing and help out! This would make it so much easier for them!

    Thank you for the giveaway! I have 4 children 4 and under, so the uses for this stool are endless in my house. Helping cook in the kitchen, brushing teeth in the bathroom, reaching things off tall shelves. I would love to win!!
