Are toddler learning towers actually safe?

It depends heavily on the model. Consumer Reports reported that the majority of towers it tested (13 of 16) failed a stability test at 35 pounds, with only a small number passing, and noted there are no industry-wide standards yet. The better performers tend to be heavier with a wider, stronger base. Buyers should also check the CPSC recall list before purchasing, since at least one widely sold Amazon tower was recalled in 2025 for fall and injury hazards. Always use any tower with adult supervision.
