What is the maximum height of a horizontal ladder for preschool aged children (4 and 5 years old)?

  1. 48 inches

  2. 60 inches

  3. 72 inches

  4. 84 inches

The correct answer is: 60 inches

While the maximum height of a horizontal ladder may vary based on the individual child's height and abilities, generally, a height of 60 inches would be suitable for preschool aged children (4 and 5 years old). Option A (48 inches) may be too low and not provide enough of a challenge for this age group, whereas options C and D (72 inches and 84 inches) may be too high and potentially unsafe for younger children. Along with the appropriate height, it is also important to consider the child's physical development and abilities when choosing a horizontal ladder for preschool aged children.
