KidWise 1.5-Inch Fanny Pads for High-Traffic Playground Areas
Swings, slides and climbing areas take a beating. The ground underneath can wear down quickly, especially where kids land, drag their feet or jump off equipment again and again. KidWise 1.5-Inch Fanny Pads add a durable rubber surface in those high-use spots to help protect both the play surface and the area underneath.
This 2-pack is an easy addition to a backyard play area when you want extra cushioning and a more stable surface under the places kids use most.
Where to Use KidWise Rubber Safety Mats
Place the mats where repeated traffic and landings are most likely to wear away grass, mulch or other surfacing:
- Under swings
- At the bottom of slides
- Below ladders and climbing areas
- Near monkey bars
- Other high-traffic spots around a playset
They can be used along with appropriate playground surfacing such as rubber mulch or wood chips. These mats are an added layer of protection and should not replace the impact-attenuating surfacing required for your play area.
Durable Recycled Rubber Construction
- 1.5-inch-thick rubber construction
- Made from durable recycled rubber
- Textured surface for added traction
- Designed for outdoor use
- Helps reduce erosion and wear in frequently used areas
- Sold as a 2-pack
KidWise states that the materials are tested for lead and phthalates. Always follow the play equipment manufacturer's recommendations for protective surfacing, use zones and installation.
A Simple Upgrade for a Hard-Working Play Area
If the mulch keeps getting kicked away under the swings or the ground at the bottom of the slide is constantly worn down, these mats give you a practical way to reinforce those spots without rebuilding the entire play area.
