Has anyone ordered the Learning Tower, or Fun Pod or Guidecraft Kitchen? It looks like it would be great for a toddler to help out in the kitchen. I can't really tell the difference between the 3 except the Learning Tower looks huge. I want one that isn't too big and that folds easily so I can put it away when we aren't using it.

We've been using our LT for almost 3 years now. DS is 4 and still uses it, and DD is 17 mo. and has been using it for several months as well (she was able to use it from 13ish months on. DS was not ready for it at that age because he would try to sit down and almost fall out of it, but she was able to handle it earlier). We store it in one of our walk-in pantries. They are bulky, but for us, it is a lifesaver!
Both kids often stand in it together and we use it almost daily. The bulk is offset IMO by the fact that two (cooperative ;) ) kids can stand in it at the same time.
I can't compare it to the other products, but most people here that have purchased a LT have been very, very happy with it. It has been one of our best investments ever.

We got the Guidecraft Kitchen Helper, which is similar to the LT except for the fact that it folds, only holds one kid, and doesn't have the puppet theater kit option. We're saving it for the big b'day coming up, so we haven't put it to use yet. However, it fold up small and seems very sturdy. The one thing I'd say about it is to order it as soon as you make up your mind. Not sure how long we had to wait, but it was at least 6-8 weeks. The companies I spoke with said they are backordered because of the popularity.

I think the Learning Tower is the best money on a 'baby product' we have ever spent!!! She is two and a half and has been using it since last September. It is used every day, multiple times a day. We also have a 5 yo niece and nephew. It's quick and easy to adjust so they can use it too.
Its very well made and the owner of the company very accessible and personally called me after an email I sent asking questions.

We have the LT and it has been great! It is large and bulky though. I haven't seen the newer options.
