Description
- This application claims priority to an earlier filed Provisional Patent Application No. 61/146,810 Filed: Jan. 23, 2009.
- At a very young age, it is difficult for most children to reach the toilet and sink in public places. Existing step stools are too large and heavy for use by a small child or for a parent to store it in a carrying bag. Existing products are also difficult for children to operate and can pose a safety hazard. There is not an existing step stool that is compact and lightweight that can be easily transported by a child or carried in an adult's carrying bag for travel away from home. It is desirable to have a step stool for a child that overcomes these disadvantages.
