Everyone who knows a toddler or preschooler knows that stepstools are a big deal for their growing sense of independence. The ubiquitous plastic Ikea stepstool is a staple in most homes, but when you want something equally rugged and safe but a bit more aesthetically pleasing (and only a bit more expensive), the Flip Stool is a solid bet.
Flip Stool by KidKraft
The backrest means that this stepstool doubles as handy low seating all the way up to eight years old. It also makes it easy for young children to maneuver the stool to wherever they need it (another big deal for your average young 'un).
The Flip Stool comes in two sizes -- Joe Modern ($25) and Tito Large ($31) -- and is available in either natural wood or white finish.

We had one of these stools when I was growing up...a carosel was painted on top with the saying "wash hands and face, and do it well, when you step on this carosel". I wonder where it is. I loved it.

These are awesome!
We are using the one that my sister and I used growing up. It was handed down to my cousins then put in storage until they had kids. My uncle returned it to me with a fresh coat of varnish when my son was one. We use it as a seat (I sit on it while my son is in the bath) and stool. Love it!

I love the antique stand up & sit down chairs. I refinished a battered one for my son recently.
I ordered a kid craft stool a few years ago and was disappointed when it arrived. In the pictures it looked like it was all wood, but when it arrived it was mostly press board with veneer.
Maybe these newer ones are different?
