CPSC* and ASTM* recognize the important value of separating play areas and play structures for different age groups. ASTM now has “separate” safety standards for equipment used by 6-23 month olds, 2-5 year olds and 6-12 year olds. The new CPSC handbook, stresses the need for separating the toddlers from the preschoolers and both of these groups from the older school age children.
