Did somebody think of babies and toddlers in the playground?

Playspaces are a focal point for thriving communities to meet, relax, get fit and enjoy each other’s company. With more of our population living in higher-density, urban areas, many families rely on public open space for play and recreation.

Though it’s crucial that the specific needs of young children are met in the design of these public open spaces, very few parks provide suitable play equipment for babies and toddlers.Child care centres, kindergartens and creches also require play equipment that is appropriately scaled and designed to support the developmental needs of early childhood.
