[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our playground is designated from 2-5 years for the small one and 6-12 for the bigger. Which I feel is ridiculous[b] because kids under 2 can't use the playground?[/b] And the difference between a one year old and a 5 year old is huge. OP, if you aren't in the "big kid" playground, I'd feel free to be as stern with those kids as you need to be. They need to watch out for little ones if they are playing in a shared space. [/quote] It's not designed for them, no. It's designed and intended for children with the coordination and strength of an average two-year-old. Yes, people with younger babies do put them on the slide, etc., but again, I feel that they ought to make way for kids who are the intended users. Just as a 7-year-old is free to use the little-kid structure if no little kids are around, but ought to defer to younger kids who want to play. Most kids under two can't use the equipment unassisted; two-year-olds generally can. [/quote]
