Vertical wood panel of 45
cm + 18 cm gap + horizontal
bar 4 cm high x 2 cm
thick.
The purpose of selecting
this type of barrier for this
age group was to see if
children would succeed in
passing through or above
the barrier. The gap of 18
cm from a height of 45 cm
was selected based on regulations
from France (NF P 01-
012:1988, currently under
revision) adopted by Portugal
in 2005 as a voluntary
technical specification.
