Acko Folding Step Stool 13 Inches on Amazon

If your child wants to see over the grown-ups, but you can no longer hold them for long and your shoulders can’t handle the extra load (or multiple trips lifting them up and down), don’t fret. Grab a folding stool instead and put the power of extra height in their hands.

If your child needs to see over the crowd, try this folding step stool.

These Acko folding stools come in different heights that will take care of just about any situation. With 9, 11, 13, 16, and 18 inches to choose from, each one can hold adults, so you have no concerns about how much weight they can bear. The 13 inch version can hold up to 300 pounds yet the stool itself weighs just under three pounds. The handle in the middle makes for easy carrying, or you can stow it underneath the stroller or even hang it from a stroller hook. It folds flat to make transportation a cinch. Kids as young as 18 months can grab the handle to haul it around.

Both my sons love using this folding step stool at train shows.

The folding mechanism requires only one step easy enough for even the youngest child. Simply flip it open, and the hinged sides form a solid box shape with a wide, stable base. The top surface offers an anti-skid surface that works great inside or out. This step stool comes in a variety of colors, like purple, blue, pink, black, white, and red. No matter which one you choose, it will save your back from lifting and carrying your child and keep them sturdy while they get a boost in height.
