A stool is prety much a must-have in our house. There’s always something that one of our toddlers needs to reach, and even the older children find it handy once in a while. Nuby’s step stools have three essential things that I look for in a good stool: safe and sturdy construction, lightweight and attractive.

Our Nuby Step Stool sits solidly on the floor and never slides around, thanks to the four wide legs with rubber bottoms. It’s actually rated to hold up to 800 pounds. Wow! I even used it myself the other day to hang bathroom curtains. Once you are standing on the stool, it is not budging. I love that it stays put when my little ones are on it. So it definitely scores 5 stars in the safety/sturdy department.

If I could recommend an age range for this stool, it would be from older toddlers to adolescents.

This sturdy little stool can easily be carried by Susanna, who’s just 18 months old. So it also gets high marks for being very lightweight. Because it’s so portable, the children can move it from room to room without constantly needing my help.

Susanna likes using it as a little seat, too.

Here are the bright and cheery colors you get to choose from! Once again, Nuby gets high marks for looks. I am hoping to pick up another one locally in another color (maybe the yellow/orange) to keep downstairs in our basement since we have a lot of things kept on storage shelves.
