What is a learning tower for children?
A learning tower for children is a type of highchair on which your children can stand at the height of the kitchen worktop so that they can watch and help you. The learning tower is secured on all four sides so that the little ones cannot fall out.
Decal for the IKEA Learning Tower
Learning tower yes or no?
Opinions are divided on this question. Many parents find the learning tower super practical. Others, on the other hand, are rather sceptical about the self-built piece of furniture. On the one hand, the learning tower gives our little ones the opportunity to join the grown-ups in the bathroom and kitchen. On the other hand, the question arises as to whether we should raise children to a height that they are not yet able to reach. What's more, the learning tower is a self-built piece of furniture - is it really tip-proof? The question of the learning tower therefore harbours advantages and disadvantages as well as dangers.
Tilt protection for IKEA learning tower
If you decide to build a learning tower from the IKEA BEKVÄM Trittocker * and the IKEA ODDVAR stool *, you should be aware that the self-built learning tower can quickly tip over. There are many retailers online who offer an anti-tipper suitable for the DIY IKEA learning tower. This can reduce the risk of tipping over. Nevertheless, your child should never be left unattended in the learning tower.

The best learning tower alternatives
Chopping at child height
We are absolutely thrilled with this IKEA hack! When her daughter outgrew the children's kitchen, @lilien_zauber simply converted the kitchen into a work surface for little people. To do this, she removed the sink and tap from the base unit. And then simply attached a sturdy wooden board from the DIY store to the play kitchen as a worktop. And that's it!
Play kitchen as a learning tower alternative
Independent tooth brushing for the little ones
Combing hair, brushing teeth, washing hands - there's no getting round it. These (often unloved) chores are best done at child height. Quasi learning towers for the bathroom. @fraeulein__schnickschnack has built a particularly nice alternative for herself and the minis. We've collected even more creative ideas for you here:
