Three wide pedals climb to a 27.5-in reach, high enough for a child to help at the kitchen counter or wash hands at a raised sink, and the top pedal lifts off when a shorter two-step is safer. Handles on both sides are molded burr-free for bare hands, and every tread carries raised anti-slip stripes. The reinforced HDPE shell holds 165 lbs on non-slip floor pads and is certified to ASTM and CPSIA standards for children 1 year and up. At 6.5 lbs a child can move it from the bathroom to a bedside on their own.
