1. This Montessori Pull-Up Bar Supports Babies’ Natural Development

Using this Montessori Pull Up Bar in your Baby’s Nursery or play space is an amazing way to support their natural progression of physical development and here’s why.

When your baby reaches for that bar and naturally pulls himself or herself to a standing position, their muscles are developed enough in all the right places to support this action!

And therefore, installing this bar in your baby’s environment during a time when their inner will is driven to refine their big and small movements is the PERFECT way to optimize their development!

2. The Montessori Pull-Up Bar Can Be Used in a Variety of Ways

Of course this bar can be used to practice pulling to a stand! But it can also be used for other things like practicing to two-footed jump and also for… diaper changes!

3. Changing Diapers at the Pull-Up Bar is an Amazing Way to Avoid Changing Table Struggles

Does your baby ever protest whenever you try to change their diaper? Like as soon as you lay them down they quickly try to roll onto their belly and crawl away?

Well this Pull-Up bar is all the magic you’ll need for avoiding those changing table struggles! Once your child is able to pull to a standing postition, try using this bar to change their diaper!

Changing in the upright position is an easy way to get your child involved in the diapering process and therefore reducing or even eliminating that changing table struggle.

4. Stand-Up Diapering at this Pull-Up Bar is a Great Prerequisite to Toilet Learning

Coming from a developmental perspective, I had always wondered if there was a way to add a step in between a baby being diapered to a baby being toilet trained.

It just seemed like such a HUGE leap to go from being changed on a changing table to standing and sitting on the toilet. You know??

And since some children acclimate better with gradual transitions, I had wondered if there could be an “in-between” step.

Then I started changing babies standing up in a Montessori Infant Classroom. And let me tell you, changing at the pull-up bar is the PERFECT prerequisite to using the toilet.

In fact, I’ve had baby students recognize when they pass a bowel movement by offering that bar! I’ve found some of my students standing at the pull-up bar ready for a change after they pass a bowel movement.

*Eeeek! ️*

Anyway, I’ve always loved having a Montessori Pull-Up Bar in my environment and highly recommend it for anyone who has or works with babies.

If you decide to go ahead and add one to your baby’s environment, let me know how it goes in the comments below! I hope you love it too!
