One of the best features of the Learning Tower is that the platform height adjusts quickly and easily.
When the Tower is actually in your home, you’ll notice that kids of all different ages and sizes love to use it. This is true even if you just have one child–his or her friends will like it just as much as he or she does.
The adjustable height accomplishes two things: it gets kids to the right height for their size, making it easier for them to work, and it adjusts for their weight to keep the center of gravity of the tower low and safe.
The taller the child, the lower you want the platform. That said, the tower really is safe and stable. My eight year old daughter can safely stand in the tower even when the platform is all the way up (though that’s probably because she’s so tall that she’s not really leaning out against the side walls, but rather is reaching over them).
Adjusting the tower is a simple process. You don’t need any tools. All you have to do is lift the platform using the finger holes provided, raise or lower it to the height you want, and slide it into the “hooks” that hold the platform. The hooks are deep enough that there’s no way a child can bounce the platform loose, and it’s impossible to adjust with the child on it.
The platform is so easy to adjust that an older child (like my son when he was almost 5) can do it while standing beside the tower.
No tools are required. The platform is not required for structural integrity, so it simply rests securely in the “hooks” that are cut into the plywood sides.
