Horizontal ladders for preschool age children should have rungs that are?

  1. Parallel and evenly spaced

  2. Perpendicular and unevenly spaced

  3. Perpendicular and evenly spaced

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Parallel and evenly spaced

Preschool age children are still at a developmental stage where they are learning basic motor skills and coordination. Parallel and evenly spaced rungs are the safest option for a horizontal ladder because they provide a stable and uniform surface for children to grasp onto. Perpendicular and unevenly spaced rungs could pose a greater risk as they require more coordination and balance, which children at this age may not have yet. The option "None of the above" is incorrect because both parallel and evenly spaced rungs are considered important safety standards for horizontal ladders. As such, it is important to ensure that playground equipment for preschool age children is designed with their safety and developmental stage in mind.
