Abstract

Exercise helps children to be active and lack of it can lead to boredom. The problem of unavailability of facilities designed for children amusement park using the right anthropometric parameters and the procurement cost due to importation duties have been a big challenge. Provision of children vehicle for amusement park using anthropometric parameters will go a long way to solve the problems associated with boredom. Anthropometric parameters from 2 5 0 (150 male and I 00 female) children between ages 3 to I 2 were collected and analysed. The 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 95th percentiles for female and male respectively were used in the design of the children vehicle. Detailed drawings and simulation of the design concept were produced on Autodesk Inventor CAD software. Three deep cycle battery of 200Ah x 12V each was proposed as the energy driver that will drive the vehicle for 1 hr at a carrying load capacity of 2280N. The simulation result ensure the stability of the vehicle.
