5. Operating Instructions
The Harwaya Toddler Step Stool offers adjustable height settings to accommodate children of different ages and for various uses.
5.1. Adjusting Between 2 and 3 Steps
The top step can be easily converted to adjust the height of the stool.
- To convert to 2 steps (11" Height): Lift the top step and fold it down to align with the second step, creating a wider top platform. This configuration is suitable for older toddlers or for use with toilets.
- To convert to 3 steps (16.1" Height): Lift the folded top step back into its upright position, extending it to create a third step. This is ideal for younger toddlers or reaching higher surfaces like bathroom sinks or kitchen counters.
