Child Friendly Solutions Play Panels These are safe, tidy play equipment solutions for business: retail store, bank, medical practice, car dealership, child care centre - in fact, anywhere that children need to be safely occupied. The Play Panels were designed to conform to Australian standards, and there are no choking or tripping hazards that other toys may have. For retailers who have very little space or are mindful of the integrity of their interior design, these clever panels take up very little room and can be hidden away behind a column or inside a change room. Furthermore, if you order a Play Panel here, Child Friendly Solutions will pay Child Friendly Australia 20% commission to support our work.
