Step-stools in staterooms?

[le830]

Silly question, but can you request a step-stool for your stateroom? My daughter is generally too short to reach the sink in most bathrooms. At home, of course, we use a stool. However, when we are out I usually have to lift her up, and it's not very comfortable for either of us. So, I was wondering if a small stool was something we can request from our room host?

I don't know if you can get a stepstool from your stateroom host, but I found the awesome-ist thing at BJ's Warehouse this weekend - a folding step stool!
Our DD was always small for her age, and we've been travelling with her since she was about 11 months old - so there were *many* times we wished we had a step stool! I saw this at the store on Saturday and said to my DH, "Where was this when we needed it!?!"

If we had another small one, I would just track down a folding step stool and get one to take with us. That way you'd have it at any pre- or post-cruise hotels, and for future travel as well. It looked like it would fold flat enough to fit securely in a suitcase, and was about the size of a laptop when folded so could concievably go into a carry-on! I thought it was awesome... but didn't note the price, since our DD has outgrown the need!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting the link to the one at Target. I'm ordering it now. My son just potty trained and won't use a bathroom in public b/c he can't reach the potty without me lifting him. It has become a challenge (to say the least). I'm going to carry this in my car and then take it on our cruise too!
