For toddlers, the slide chute exit should be no more than how many inches above protective surfacing?

  1. 6 inches

  2. 4 inches

  3. 8 inches

  4. 10 inches

The correct answer is: 6 inches

Toddlers are still developing their coordination and motor skills, so it is important for them to have a shorter distance to fall from. 6 inches is the recommended maximum height for a slide chute exit above the protective surfacing, as any higher could increase the risk of injury in case of a fall. Options B, C, and D are all higher than the recommended maximum and could potentially be more dangerous for toddlers.
