Safe Step for Kids

Elderly people in the United States unintentionally became the creators of a "safe step for kids." The invention stemmed from concerns for their active grandchild who always sought to climb higher on chairs to see and hear better. The working principle and construction of this invention are simple, conceived and made in a garage.

Appearance and Construction

The appearance of the construction resembles a regular step stool available in stores, but it is enhanced with planks that serve as protection against a child falling, ensuring safe usage.

These planks also make it easier for the child to climb up independently. There is no risk of the construction tipping over, even if the child focuses their weight on the back plank, as stability is maintained by the lower step.

The top step has a height adjustment feature, allowing customization based on your child's growing stature. The bottom part of the step is covered in felt to prevent scratching and ensure smooth sliding on the floor.

Benefits of the Step Stool for Kids

The "safe step for kids" weighs six kilograms, enabling the child to easily move it around. It helps them observe things of interest and reach higher places, such as the kitchen counter during meal preparation, their father's desk, or the bathroom sink.

Revenue from Safe Step Stools

Selling these "safe step stools" has proven to be a successful business for caring grandparents who invented them. They sold an average of 1.5 units per day and reached 450 units annually without any advertising effort. The price of such a step stool is $99.
