BIGGER ISN’T SAFER - IT’S CLUNKIER

After too many experiences tripping over “easy-assembly” toddler towers, we built the stool we wished existed: one that is ASTM-certified for children's safety, saves space, installs in minutes, and actually fits your home. Get ready to reclaim your space- WITHOUT sacrificing the safety of your growing toddler.

Next-Step Stool: the ASTM-certified, sleeker step stool.

Your home, simplified. Your child, empowered.

Safety Engineered In Every Millimeter

Two-Time Award-Winning Design, ASTM-certified

I wanted a better step stool for my growing kids.

I designed the Next-Step Stool after one too many late nights searching for a safe, space-saving stool that actually worked for my kids. Every option was bulky, heavy, and awkward to move — so I decided to create my own.

Five years, ten prototypes, and two startup competition wins later, we perfected a design that folds flat to just four inches, hooks securely onto any cabinet door, and grows with your child. And it passes all ASTM F2613-22 requirements for Children's Chairs and Stools.

Safe enough for my kids, sleek enough for your home — it’s the smarter, simpler way to give little ones a step up.

UPGRADE YOUR SPACE
  • FOLDS IN SECONDS

    Because each step on the Next-Step Stool is craftily designed to fold and lock away in seconds, it makes clean up a breeze.

  • HOOKS SECURELY

    We created a patented hook system that keeps the stool stable and tip-free, no matter how much your little one wiggles.

  • GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD

    Forget fixed heights and clunky adjustments. With The Next-Step Stool, you decide — one step or two.
