This is a nice little stool. It's not very high, so I think it would be difficult for a child to really hurt themselves fooling around on this. At the same time, it's high enough to help a toddler get up on the couch or to the toilet.It has a nice rubberized top to prevent slipping, which is great when you have a little billy goat climbing up and down repeatedly or exploring its uses in unorthodox ways. The green color is also very bright and fun, and the plastic shell seems easy to clean.
