Playground safety is very important for kids. They need to interact with their peers to develop and grow in maturity. Some kids are often daring and adventurous, and they are usually the first to have accidents or sustain injury.

According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 200,000 children below the age of 14 receive treatment for injuries sustained at playgrounds each year. Many parents try to research the quality of safety measures at a playground before sending their children to them. Parents are particularly cautious about the quality of the playground floor since they are aware that children are prone to falling while playing with their mates. The safety of a playground floor is non-negotiable for parents when they are in search of a suitable playground for their kids.

Playground floors made of rubber tiles with soft surfaces are an excellent choice for children’s playgrounds. It is worth noting that the rubbers often come with different thickness and backings for various drop heights. The drop height determines the height at which a child may fall and not cause injury. Other suitable, durable and comfortable playground floors for kids also include turf and sand floors. On the other hand, playground floors made of concrete, grass, and packed dirt, etc. are not ideal for kids.
