I have a few minutes and was going to post to Neve's lurker thread, but it didn't load after about 5 minutes, so, I thought I would post about the Learning Tower instead. It has improved the quality of life for everyone in our house.
Here is the link.

Just before I discovered this existed, DH thought about making something like it because DS is so wiggly on chairs and I couldn't get much done holding him so he could see what was going on. We bought one because it looked well made and was easily adjustable, which he wouldn't be able to make one do. DS (19m) climbs in and out on his own.
Every morning we make oatmeal together now -- he scoops the oatmeal out of the bag and into the pot, stirs the oatmeal while I add milk, then puts the lid on so we can put it on the stove (the last part is still a little stressful because stirring could go on for a long time). We usually have a cottage cheese container with flour, a measuring cup, and spoons for him on the island, as well as his magnadoodle and various other things during the day.
DS is a very spirited boy who generally wants to be very close. The Learning Tower has helped me get things done with DS participating. It is wonderful.
