Infant Playground Equipment for Ages 6-23 Months
Children need mental, physical, and emotional stimulation to develop healthily. Outdoor play is an essential part of this stimulation, and age dramatically affects what kinds of play children need and what experiences they require from their outdoor time.
We target our playground equipment for specific age groups to give kids the best equipment for their stage of development.

Commercial Playground Equipment
Let’s explore the critical aspects of infant playground equipment, which we incorporate into our offerings at Little Tikes Commercial.
Safety is always the top priority for playground equipment. Toddlers need a safe place to satisfy their curiosity while developing their hand-eye coordination and walking abilities. Young children are naturally clumsy, and they explore the world with all the senses available to them. The equipment they interact with should be smooth to the touch with rounded edges and no small pieces they can swallow.
Our products meet or exceed safety specifications for toddler play equipment, including those from ASTM International, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

Age-Appropriate Design
Playground equipment must fit the development stages of the children who use it. Some key features of infant-safe playground equipment are:
- Sensory experiences: Children of this age group develop through sense exploration. Touching, twisting, spinning, pushing, and pulling play elements can bring them endless joy and help develop their motor skills.
- Movement: Encouraging movement is vital for infants and toddlers as they learn to navigate the world. Play equipment for this age range often involves crawling or walking through an area to reach a reward or using a slide to exit the equipment so it feels like an adventure.
- Imaginative play: Themed playground equipment teaches kids about different environments and encourages them to use their imagination.
- Group play: We intend for kids to use this equipment together to encourage socialization and group play.

Interactive Features
Interactive features in playground equipment are crucial for infants and toddlers. Supervised play in a safe environment teaches them how far they can take their movement, allowing kids to develop their motor skills and learn about cause and effect.
For example, our Nutty the Squirrel play element features a system of slopes and doors. Children can roll a ball through in different ways and experiment with the paths it takes. Nutty the Squirrel also has slidable acorns and blocks kids can push and pull.
Developmental Benefits
Interactive features encouraging imaginative group play are crucial for toddlers’ cognitive, motor, social, and emotional development. They also give them a safe place to express their boundless energy.
