Z Recommends: The Learning Tower
from Z Recommends | December 11, 2007The approaching holidays are a chance for us at ZRecs to raise our heads up above the fray of our daily reviewing and compile a list of some select items we’d recommend to anyone looking for a perfect gift for their toddler or preschooler. These are just some of the best products we’ve reviewed this year - if none of these suit your budget or tastes, browse our reviews by the category buttons on the righthand sidebar of our blog to find your own perfect gifts!
Most of the blurbs here are drawn from our full product reviews, which are linked at the foot of each listing where available. Remember, Z Recommends doesn’t window shop - every item in this gift guide is an item we have used and can personally vouched for.

Learning Tower [Platform for counter-level experiences]
“Unlike a chair or stool, the Learning Tower features a large platform for standing on (approximately 18 inches square), the platform can be set at any of four different heights (around 11” to about 19” off the ground), and a railing runs around the perimeter at your toddler’s waist height. This makes it a very safe place for your toddler to participate in highly engaging activities without either of you worrying about him falling down.” Unlike other “practical” items we love that didn’t make this list, this highly functional object is also one of the “most fun” to have around.
