Reviews

Linen White vs. True White

"I ordered this in what I thought was white but just wanted to let future buyers know that ‘linen white’ is more yellow/cream than a ‘true white’. Which I didn’t realize until it showed up :)… I haven’t gotten to use it yet but I’m sure it’ll be great! But just wanted to warn future buyers looking for a true white color."

Kelsie K. (4/5)

Loving this Toddler Tower!

"So far my 15 month old daughter is LOVING her toddler tower from Guidecraft. It is SO sturdy and you can tell it’s really well made. The extra nets on the side are also very thick and heavy duty and great for those clumsy toddlers (like mine) who may want to take a tumble out of theirs 😅 It just provides that extra layer of security for me when she’s still so young! Not a lot of toddler towers have that and I am so grateful to have found such a high quality tower that meets my daughters needs!"

London L. (5/5)

Great toddler tower!

"After months of researching we were so glad this was back in stock. Our daughter loves this. She is always eager to learn and this gives her a safe space to learn in the kitchen during meal time. Love!"

Brianna S. (5/5)

Worth It!

"When our little one started getting older, we knew we wanted to get a toddler tower but we didn’t know which one or what brand to look for. Thankfully enough we found a great article going over toddler towers and we finally found GuideCraft! The first time we looked it was out of stock so we signed up for notifications and bought once it was back in stock. It’s made a huge difference for us, the toddler tower is perfect height for us and allows us to bring our little one into the real mix of things. He can stand and wash his hands, he can help with minor cooking prep work, and he’s enjoying being further up. We’re so glad we have this and cannot express how much fun we’re having with him up here."

Toddler tower

"No assembly required. Would have given a 5 star but one of the safety latches was misaligned so my husband had to drill new holes to make it align for safety. It’s a very handy stepstool for my 1 year old grandchild to stand in."

Melinda B. (4/5)

Quality is great

"Ordered two of their towers one for home and one for grandparents house. Based on consumer report article on safety they are beautifully built products. I think will be used for a long while. Easy to clean"

Ruth p. (5/5)

Sturdy and so useful!

"Perfect for my toddler who gets major fomo when I cook or clean and it’s the safest tower available on the market. One super small suggestion would be for guidecraft to somehow add handles for when the parent is lifting and moving the collapsed tower to put it away. It’s just sort of awkward to pick up when it’s folded."

Miranda R. (4/5)

Perfect

"This product is a game changer in the kitchen. My child can help prep dinner, work on an activity or have a snack while I am working in the kitchen. He can more easily wash his hands as well"

Tonya S. (5/5)

Repeat customer!

"Since buying my first toddler tower, I have returned and bought two more! One for myself and another for a baby shower gift! They are so useful!"

Emma M. (5/5)

My toddler loves his tower!

"My toddler is obsessed with this tower! I love how it folds away for easy storage. I do wish there were some handles for easier carrying and the non slip mat could be removed for easier cleaning. Other than that we love it!"

Q&A

What is the difference between the Contemporary kitchen helper toddler tower and the Classic toddler tower? Is the Classic as safe as the Contemporary because the Classic isn’t mentioned as safest by Consumer Reports
Hello, Both towers are Green Guard Gold certified. Design is the only difference in the styles. The classic has shapes on the sides, so if your child is a climber, the contemporary might work best for your family.
Hi, I need to order mesh sides. Can you give me details;) Karen
