where to find step stool safe for kids to reach tap themself

[24hr-mum]

just now i put three ikea low stools (stacked together) for my 3 year old to try (she coming to 4). she can reach. but just realised she likes to JUMP off the stool after washing her hands

plus she may not put both legs on the stool properly

Hi Hi,


Yup, Ikea’s low step stools (those white with colourful dots on top!) for my DS (coming to 4 yo) too!

Stack 2 together for him to get onto the adult toilet and then push them to the sink for him to wash his hands afterwards. He is at all times supervised because after washing his hands, he need to turn and step down. The stool is quite narrow so I scared he step down and onto the sometimes wet and slippery floor may slip so always hold his hand to turn and then step down from the stools. The stool itself not slippery.

Anyway, yeh, still got to tightly supervise!

thanks. i hv 3 kids, only #3 is young - 3yo. but becos sometimes i m out, my maid doing housewk or checking on other kids, and my #3 is the independent type - she can even climb onto the toilet bowl (whc has child seat) herself without tellg pple or asking for help！ - i find that no poss to be always ard to supervise given her character. eg if i ask #1 to turn on the lights, #3 will go find a stool immediately and stand on the stool trying to reach the switches, while #1 still dilly dally.


sigh, since i cant find a good solution, i decided to just do a children sink, scared at nite my #3 go herself or other kids go toilet wifout turning on the light, if the stool is not put back to proper plc in the toilet, they can trip n fall n knock the toilet bowl.

Mine is also the lower ikea step stool. My son use it for pass urine and wash hand. Of course I’m around when washing hand. As for urine he did it himself.

I bought the 2 steps stool. Kid too short cannot reach the tap.
