The First Years Sit and Store Parent Bathing Seat and Stepstool

This is the greatest thing to have in your bathroom. It holds all your bath toys and has vents on the side, so your toys don't get moldy. There is no longer tons of clutter and toys sitting in the tub. My back aches are also gone since using this to sit on during her bath. It is the perfect height for me (5'5) and my husband (6'2).
My daughter has also started to use it as a stool and it is very sturdy.
I now give this to every new mom!

When we set out to buy a step stool, I wanted an old fashioned wooden two step stool, but when I saw this one I decided to buy it and I am glad we did. The storage area holds quite a bit of our son's bath toys. We bought this when our son was 18 months so he could brush his teeth at the sink and he loves it! He can push it around fairly easily. I enjoy using it as a seat at bath time and I use it to do my Firm workout video so it is really sturdy. I like that we can just hose this off in the bath tub when we need to clean it off. The only thing is that I wish it were a little higher so my son could reach further into the sink for handwashing now that we are about to begin potty training.

It look like most folks bought this item as a Seat for beside the tub, but as a step stool it is quite dangerous! On the lower level, the stool is quite stable, but on the higher level the whole top colapses!! I purchased this product as it was advertised as a two level step stool, wich is what I was looking for. When I called "The First Years", they were very short with me explaining that in VERY SMALL PRINT on the packaging it tells you not to use as a step stool on the higher level. I did actually read the directions (which I'm sure many folks don't for a simple step stool) and the warning wasn't in that part of the packaging. Anyway, I'm sure it's a fine bath seat, but it is quite deceiving and VERY UNSAFE for anyone who might buy this as a step stool and asume they could use both levels.
