Anyone have or considered getting a learning tower? My dad sent Eliza 75 bucks for Christmas and my brain is paralyzed with indecision. I wanted to get her a good solid wood easel, and then I realized that the learning tower has an easel attachment. We have limited space and it'd be really nice to have just one more piece of equipment. But it's so expensive! Gah!

wow it has really great reviews... but yeah, for me, too big and too expensive. but that's just me. It's pretty cool it has another use though.

LOL, Nicole you're such an enabler! I got her a little tabletop easel instead--the way she can just put it on taller furniture as she grows.

As for the learning tower, I might see how much we can experiment when she's old enough to really help in the kitchen...I'm not out ruling it for good!

Too big for my house!

I just have to say... they score mega marketing points for the name. I mean, Learning Tower? Who DOESN'T want a learning tower?! Stool with built in railings? that's boring and huge. But LEARNING TOWER? F yeah, sign me up! Think of all the cool stuff we could do with a Learning Tower!!

I think there are a lot of neat products out there, but Morgan will just have to stand on an old fashioned chair. The exact same ones I did. Oh the nostalgia!

We built one 3 years ago for $35 and we still use it EVERYDAY atleast 5x. Not joking. We live in a itty bitty apartment with an itty bitty kitchen. It takes up a whole counter area. BUT my children love it, and they're learning to cook! Valley baked brownies by herself before she was 4. Because I've had her in it since she could stand (10 months).

the true learning tower is too much money IMO. But having the cheapo one is great and I don't have to worry about them falling off the chair or fighting about who gets to stand on the chair. Sure it's a pain in the butt sometimes since it takes up so much space but it's worth it!!! I promise, if you cook a lot it's beyond worth it

look how cute they are
