One of the young ones, Sterling, is upwardly mobile. My daughter posted this picture of a step stool, with an add on safety railing. I've had youngster fall from a small table I use to gain access to the train layout. They forget they are on the table and walk off the edge.

now that is a great idea! but am amazed it isn't made from plastic seems all things today are made from plastic.
so will you be using it when he is viewing the trains??
as a side note a larger one for seniors would be helpful we too forget sometimes!!
The stool it'self looks like one that Ikea sells. I can't say I've seen the added part there though.

A facebook post this morning from my daughter Mandy that mentioned IKEA. She is big into the IKEA assembly kits, she did her kitchen upgrade with IKEA kits. I will check, most likely the safety add-on, is an IKEA kit also.
I used something similar when my son was younger and we went to train shows. It enabled him to see any part of the layout and saved my back from carrying him all the time.

From the facebook post this morning:
......"It's an idea from ikeahackers...I added a railing to an ikea step stool"...... I requested more information.

From daughter Mandy:
Here's the link to what I made. Just the step stool in from ikea (about $15). The railing is "a la Lowe's". (http://www.ikeahackers.net/201...-learning-tower.html)
You can purchase actual "learning towers," but they're much more expensive. (And bigger than what I wanted.) here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000SQNAQC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2...
