Hi belfie

That is such a nice present.

I would go with higher, if you find it is too high for you, just get one of those kiddie steps - believe me once you have one you find a use for it everywhere - and the little fella will too down the track for the sink, toilet, up-to-no-good ....

I agree with jordie - bending over really hurts when you do it repeatedly like with nappy changes, so I am sure your hubby would appreciate the taller height too.
