The Funpod kitchen helper impressed me right from the start. Assembly was straight forward and quick, I managed it entirely on my own without any difficulties. The quality of the materials also stood out. The wood feels solid and durable, and the overall build gives me confidence that this product will last through years of daily use.

Safety is just one of the reasons I was drawn to the Funpod, and it delivers brilliantly. My daughter loves being involved in cooking, but before this, she would climb onto stools or chairs, which made me constantly anxious about slips and falls. The enclosed design means that she can only access the countertops if I lift her in and she can stand securely, without any risk of toppling. It feels stable even when she moves around inside and that peace of mind is priceless.

One of the stand-out features is the built in chalkboard panel. This is such a clever addition- my daughter spends just as much time drawing on it as she does helping in the kitchen. It keeps her engaged and entertained, even if I'm busy with something she can't safely join in with. Another big advantage is the adjustable platform. As she grows, I can move the platform higher or lower so it remains comfortable and safe. This makes the Funpod much more versatile and ensures it will remain useful for several years.

In day to day life, the Funpod has quickly become one of our most used items. My daughter helps with simple tasks like washing vegetables, stirring, or rolling out dough, and it has turned meal prep into a shared and enjoyable activity. It encourages independence, builds confidence, and keeps her involved in a safe, structured way.

The only real drawback is the size, it does take up a fair amount of space, which could be an issue in a smaller kitchen. It's also a little heavy to move around frequently, so it tends to stay in the same spot. Cleaning inside the corners can be slightly awkward aswell, especially if food gets spilled.

Overall, the Funpod kitchen helper is a fantastic investment for families with young children. It's safe, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed, with fun extras like the chalkboard that make it more than just a step-stool. Most importantly, it transforms everyday kitchen time into an opportunity for learning, creativity, and independence. Despite a few minor limitations, I would highly recommend it to any parent looking to involve their child in the kitchen safely.
