BabyBjörn Safe Step - White Reviews

• This is so safe and sturdy!!

  
  By A3GJ0RDALQQT5G on 2005-07-28
  I thought the price was a bit steep for a step stool, but man is it well made! This step stool will not budge, with all the rubber grips it has. It's also a lot nicer looking after it's been used a while because the black rubber on the top wears so nicely. I looked at another step stool in the BRU store when I bought this, and its rubber already looked icky just from people testing it out. This Baby Bjorn one is also very strong, even for heavier children. I'm very pleased!
  
  

• Tips over easily

  
  By A21CMO0VO4QRGT on 2005-09-21
  I've been a little disappointed in this step stool. My son is 2 and just starting to be interested in potty training. One of his favorite things has been using this stool to get up on the potty by himself. However, the stool has tipped over several times causing him to fall. Last night it happened again and when he fell he got a small cut on his head. Today the stool will "disappear" from his bathroom. We won't be using it anymore.
  
  

• Safety Hazard

  
  By A29HWEN7ZBFENT on 2007-03-26
  This step stool is a safety hazard. The sides are not angled enough so a two-year-old can easily step too close to the edge and tip it over. In fact the stepping surface is so small that it's hard for a little guy to stay in the middle of it. And when the stool is tumbled over a little explorer can hurt himself badly when he falls onto the sharp edges of the legs.
  
  

• Good but not so Good...

  
  By AZ2WKH9C3MLRG on 2007-02-22
  I thought the whole point of this product was to help your toddler reach the toilet when training, but the step was still too low for my two-year old to reach it. It is sturdy but I will need to find something else in the meantime.
  
  

• "Safe" Step is far from being safe.

  
  By A1M1EEER8LCF27 on 2007-06-01
  This step was terribly disappointing, the grips on the bottom don't keep the step from sliding right out from under my son's feet. The third time he stepped up it went right out from under his feet and he fell over and landed on the edge of the tub, it was awful. It seems to work okay on the carpeted surface, but I'm not really giving it much use anymore.
  
  
• Good little stool
  By A1Y8T1JZ0FYBR8 on 2006-03-16
  This stool is working fine for us. It is stable and safe, non-slip, and it is nice and small so I can move it out of the way easily, and light-weight so my 2 year old son can easily move it into place by himself. I am not sure that I couldn't have found a similiar stool for less money, but I like the fact that it's just plain black and white and it doesn't look tacky in the guest bath. I did try a couple of the wooden steps, and they were too big and heavy, and I couldn't move them out of the way. Plus, they were more expensive than this one. The only complaint I have about this stool is I wish it was about an inch taller so that my son's feet could rest flat footed on it when he's on the toilet. Otherwise, it's a good little stool.
  
  
• safe and sturdy
  By A3VA3LQSD9IHVJ on 2006-02-11
  Our 2 1/2 yr old really likes this stool. She has used it for almost a year to reach the sink and now for learning how to use the potty. We feel safe with the rubber pads on tile or on carpet. The wide rubber area to step on provides more traction for those uncoordinated feet! We bought another one for upstairs. The best quality I could find in BabiesRUs, Target & WalMart.
  
  
• Simple but does the job
  By AKC6VWPSO3BWR on 2007-03-02
  This stool is not decorative, but it does what it is intended to do. I also have the cute, wooden step stool type of stool, but I needed a stool for a small bathroom where function took precedence over form. What I really liked about it was that it had a non-skid botton as well as a non-skid standing surface (others like this in this price range do not).
  
  
• Great Product!
  By ASQJUEM21JMN1 on 2007-03-20
  My 2-year old is starting the potty training process. It's the perfect size. The only thing that could make it better is if it wrapped around the toilet a little further. That way he could stand closer to the toilet when he pees. I don't think you'll find a step stool like that so this is the next best thing.
  
  
• Useless for Potty
  By A1NUS8X2KZT81X on 2007-07-28
  I bought this stool for toilet training. It does not get my 36 inch tall son anywhere near the potty seat except to peer down into the toilet. I moved the step into the kitchen so he can use it to get water from the refrigerator. False advertising.
  
  
• Don't bother
  By A393OXYIQUL82M on 2007-08-06
  This stool is nothing special AT ALL! I paid like $16 for a stool that is not slide proof and is not tall enough to get my daughter's face over the bathroom counter. It was a total waste of money. I got a better stool from the dollar store!
  
  
• this is too $$$ - go get an ikea footstool for $2.99 + tax
  By AVXRT091CQRVG on 2007-10-12
  A friend of mine got this stool for her kid and I see no difference between it and an ikea one that I have. Ikea sells a step stool with a non slip top and also a non-slip underside for $2.99. Unless you don't have access to an ikea and have no other reason to go besides getting a step stool, you should save your money.
  
  
• Very nice stool!
  By A1S6T83F2NEEIU on 2006-01-18
  My 2 year old son and I love this stool! It is EASY to clean, and the rubber on the bottom keeps it from sliding around on our bathroom floor. We use it in conjunction with the Baby Bjorn toilet trainer, which I also love. My son is able to move it to the toilet, climb on the toilet trainer seat, do the job, climb down, move it to the sink, and wash his hands. This helps him have the independence he needs. It has a nice design and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in a guest bathroom. It just looks clean and white. Love the Baby Bjorn stepstool!
  
  
  
• great buy
  By A3PBOVTBB5A7AP on 2006-04-10
  I keep this step in my sons bathroom along with the Bjorn toilet seat. The simple design makes it so easy to clean and use. Ive learned my lesson with the cheaper step stools made of thin plastic or cheap wood and wont purchase them again. I love how sturdy the design is. I also use this stool to sit on next to the tub while bathing my son, saves my back!
  
  
• Nice toddler step
  By A3VPP315TMLMIS on 2007-03-05
  I like this because it is a nice construction. I bought the white and it blends in nicely. I just wish it was a little higher. We have a newer construction home and the bathroom counters are high so it is still too low for her to wash hands by herself for now.
  
  
• babybjorn is the best
  By A1D0IB1MA62MU2 on 2007-04-09
  It's very safe because of the non-slip rubber. Our son uses it when he brushes his teeth or when he goes to the potty. It's light and easy for him to carry. Nice color too. Highly recommended!!!
  
  
• Good product by not for me
  By A3K68ZXOJ69P4L on 2007-05-12
  I have bought only BabyBjorn potty products- the toilet trainer, potty chair & safe step. This is a good product but is too short for my 2 yr old to reach the adult toilet safely. It has a nice non-skid top & bottom & stays put which is great & very important for safety. Maybe it will work in somone else's house, but it is a bad fit for mine.
  
  
• Too short...
  By AZ46GJJTK5A8D on 2007-08-17
  This stool is only 6 inches tall (or a little less...the box it arrived in was 6 inches tall). There is no assembly it seems to be really great quality. Rubber skid resistant top and legs.
  
  I went to Target and bought an 8" stool near the mops & buckets for $5.99 and will be returning this item.
  
  
• Love this product
  By A37ZJYCHAD45V3 on 2006-01-30
  This seat by far surpasses the other mount on the toilet seats because it doesnt move or pinch at all. My 19 month old son loves it and feels very safe and comfortable on it. Spend the extra money and get the best one first your little one will really appreciate it.
  
  
• great step stays in place
  By A2IMHWNFLKXOMA on 2006-03-02
  I really like how this step was designed to stay in place. We have a cheaper plastic stool in another bathroom that tends to scoot too easily as our son climbs up on it. This one stays put! The only reason this stool didn't get 5 stars from me is because of the textured top. It is a little difficult to clean. Since this is a potty step stool, it has gotten some messes on it that I wish would have been easier to get rid of!
  
  
• Gotta Get One!
  By A3B8CW50D04ZWQ on 2006-03-07
  If you're going to get the Baby Bjorn potty chair, you've got to get a matching stool! I love how the stool has a rubbery-grip top to prevent slipping. My son also uses the stool to read his books on while sitting in his matching potty chair. You've gotta get one now!
  
  
• Works great but a bit pricey..
  By A1RUBT7SAUYK0H on 2007-01-05
  My 3 yr. old son use it everyday to brush his teeth and comb his hair. He doesn't tip over and fall anymore like he did on the other step chair. The babybjorn is a bit expensive. I found a similar chair at Ikea for a fraction of the cost.
  
  
• Quality Product
  By A2068KILB5SR8M on 2007-08-06
  I purchased this step stool when we began potty-training our twin boys. Nice features are the neutral white color and non-slip rubberized top and legs. It is pricy - I probably could have found a similar product for a lower price.
  
  
• Almost there...
  By AR00UNP3FUTPZ on 2007-10-29
  I love how stable this stool is - doesn't slip or slide under my son. The problem I have is that it is about 3" too short to be useful with our normal height toilet. My son's feet don't reach the stool when he sits down.
  
  
• Pink Baby Bjorn Step - Great Purchase
  By A25CGFFQWLVC8X on 2008-02-05
  This is a great product. Before we purchased this, our three year old couldn't reach the sink or toilet by herself. We had a big wooden stepstool, but it took up too much space in the bathroom. She can move this herself and it's such a pleasure. It's lightweight, sturdy and since her favorite color is pink, it's a big hit. We bought three of them ... one for each bathroom.
  
  
• A bit pricy
  By A2MG9AGG91JYW3 on 2007-05-12
  This is a very sturdy stepstool with good non-skid pads. I purchased it because it matched the Babybjorn toilet seat. However, I feel that it was a little pricy for a plastic stepstool.
  
  
• Product is not as described
  By A2GJ39OMV9OONV on 2007-10-09
  First, the product I received is not in the same color as pictured. It is a combination of blue (body) and red (top and rubber feet).
  
  Second, the product dimensions in the description are misleading. They are not true to the actual sizes. It's actually 11.5"L x 8"W on the top, and 6" deep. The product is smaller than described even when measured from the widest points, which is 13"L x 9"W.
  
  The product itself is in good quality. However, it is too short for little kids to reach the toilet. If it were 8" deep as described, it would be much better.
  
  
  
• Sturdy
  By A18ZJK24U57V4I on 2008-01-03
  I bought this with my Bjorn potty chair. It's nice and sturdy. Very pleased with the product.
  
  
• Baby Bjorn Safe Step - White
  By A2PBQDWX6270VH on 2008-01-18
  I spent the extra money and bought this in white because I'm bright-children's-colored "plasticked" out. The rubber grips keep it from slipping. It's very sturdy and safe, cleans easily, and not an eyesore. It's only worth the extra money if you care about keeping your house from looking completely like Romper Room. :)
  
  
• Could be a bit bigger
  By ACZ24JBZAFNK8 on 2008-02-02
  Overall the stool is not bad. Unfortunately, it is not tall enough. My son is 2 1/2 and is considered big for his age. When he sits on the toilet his feet do not sit flat on the stool. The stool is to small to use at the sink. I am sure it will be fine when my son gets a little bigger. Right now, not so great.
