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.

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.
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.

The comment for Rebecca’s mandatory entry (why she wanted to win) said:
“This would be the perfect solution to my daughter longing to wash her hands and brush her teeth at the sink as opposed to the bathtub. She sees her brother, dad, and I (as well as family and friends) using the sink. It frustrates her that she is not tall enough. And she is so independent and full of pride that she will not let us pick her up to use the sink. So she uses the tub.”
CONGRATULATIONS, Rebecca!!! A HUGE THANK YOU to Little Partners for sponsoring this great giveaway – and thank you to everyone who entered!

I love that the learning tower can be used throughout the different stages of your child’s development.
my daughter would love this in our bathroom. She is so petite and struggles when washing her hands.
What a great giveaway! As the mother of six children, 3 who are 5 and under, this would be an amazing piece to have in a home.
love to win for my little niece
My son would love this to be able to help me cook in the kitchen!
I have many young children that need help washing their hands and want to help mama with cooking.
Today, The Learning Tower is distributed around the world and enjoyed by young toddlers everywhere as they safely explore, discover and experience the world around them!
My six year old likes to make her own PB & J sandwiches but she isn’t tall enough to reach the counter, I also have a two year old who would use this.
this is such a great product, I would love to try it
I’ve got an elementary aged son and a baby who wants to join in all the fun. I have just started looking into ways to incorporate Montessori components to our home and life style….winning this would go a long way! Thank you for this opportunity 🙂
