Moms are usually trying to put things out of the reach of little ones, but it’s a whole lot easier to wash your hands if you can actually reach the sink. On the hunt for the right step stool, we’ve been less than impressed with the common options. So here we’ve rounded up six stools that look good enough to keep.

Kik Step. This tough classic rolls when you push it, but locks into place when you put weight on it so your little helper won’t tumble. Available in several colors and a chrome finish. $65 at surlatable.com.

Elephant Stool. Although named after a creature that certainly stands out, this sleek stool will keep a low profile in your kitchen, bathroom or wherever you need a boost. $120 at modernseed.com.

Prince AHA Stool. Designed by Philippe Starck, this looks more like art then a stool. When they’re not standing on it, your little one will love the cool textured ring design and hidden storage compartment. $87 at dwr.com.

Step Right Up Stool. This sturdy, solid wood platform has a timeless design that will be just right for any decor. $40 at landofnod.com.

Built-By-Me Offi Snap Step. Assembly required. These two words don’t tend to be a selling point, but that’s part of the fun of this clever step stool — it’s meant to be put together by your little carpenter in the making. $70 at target.com.

Boon Potty Bench. If your bathroom is space deprived then you’ll love this multi-tasking potty seat and step stool. $30 at amazon.com.
