Handrails for Preschool/Schoolage should have a diameter or max. cross-section between how many inches?

  1. 0.95" and 1.55"

  2. 1" and 2"

  3. 0.75" and 1.25"

  4. 1.25" and 1.75"

The correct answer is: 0.95" and 1.55"

Handrails for Preschool/Schoolage should have a diameter or max. cross-section between 0.95 inches and 1.55 inches to ensure proper grip and support for small children. Option B (1 inch and 2 inches) and Option D (1.25 inches and 1.75 inches) have ranges that are either too wide or slightly larger, making it difficult for young children to fully grasp and hold onto the handrail. Option C (0.75 inches and 1.25 inches) has a minimum width that may not provide enough surface area for a secure grip. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and safe range for handrails in a preschool or school-age setting.
