It's recommended for ages three and up, but I've heard lots of people say 18months was a good age. When did your LO start using the Learning Tower? Did he/she enjoy it?

Thanks!

We were given one a couple months ago. DD will be three in May and she loves it. She drags it around and can now get into most things that I'd rather she didn't! But it is great for cooking with her and it has been great even when we're not. She climbs up and is much closer to the conversations and all the action. She doesn't beg for attention as much when she's up higher.

18 months, and he LOVED it right away. He's almost 3 now and still uses it daily... though he's starting to push it closer to stove. Not good!

around 18 months. And yes, she has used it every day since (she's now almost 3)!

my dad made ours, but we have been using it since DD was about 18 months as well

we use ours several times every day. i love that DD can watch me make her food, and help with little things (stirring is her favorite!) without falling off a chair

it's so great. my dad ended up making another one for their house.

ETA: one thing we've had to be very careful about is leaving anything dangerous on the counter. DD can push it around, so we keep knives and anything that could be dangerous in a tot locked drawer.

At Christmas, around 18m. We started using it right away. Our kitchen is quite small but it works out fine. We use it every day and DS loves it. Sink/ water play/ eats dinner / kitchen play Oddly enough he doesn't get it in himself (22m) although he is a good park climber. He just doesn't see a lot of things that way and frankly, I am kind of grateful. We did have a little boy of about 16m over the other day and he started climbing it within two seconds.
