robinm - brilliant thought! i never think of chin up bars because, um, i never consider doing chin ups! carrie

Smart idea! We're planning our own play kitchen and trying to figure out a good counter height that will work for our toddler son now as well as in a year or two. So it's good to have this idea i...

Thanks for all these great ideas - I'm inspired! And mama0913 (and others) - my 19-month-old wouldn't grasp a lot of these either and I'm definitely not worried. He's very physical an...

Hi Pam - when he's tall enough I'm sure we'll be doing the same! Carrie

Winivy - thanks for the citrus tip. I didn't know that and will give it a try. To everyone else, thanks for sharing your stories and suggestions!

pao - when I've tried just using a plastic bowl it went right on the floor (he likes to fling things) but maybe others have more luck with that. my thought was that suction cups might help him get...

It's actually harder than you'd think to find a simple crib which is what I love about this one. Great job!

2manydaves - I think the Latt is about the size of the Kritter I have which is currently too big for my 17 month old to use. I would say these sets are probably good up to age 3. Carrie
