I spent more than 4 months reviewing different learning towers, from price point to aesthetics to clean foldaway to convertibility. When the TOVA Convertible launched last year, this first caught my eye from the visual appeal as I know it would be something I'd be looking at often in my kitchen and aesthetics, safety, functionality are super important to me.
I've had the learning tower for 2 weeks, and my toddler absolutely loves it! being apart of the food preparation and post clean up/washing dishes has given him a new perspective of wanting to be involved.
The wide base is great and adds to the towers' sturdiness and the tower is easy to clean.
I am 6 months pregnant and built the tower myself, I would recommend a power drill to aid in the build process. The instructions are easy and clear, however the wood screw openings are tight for safety reasons, and there were over 40 screws that I would've used the manual allen key for. So the power drill with a hex bit, was super handy and sped up the process.
I highly recommend this product for toddlers, it gives my toddler 30-45mins of keeping busy with his toddler kitchen tools and imaginary cooking and eating play, whilst giving me the space to prepare snacks/meals as well as tidy up after eating.
