What about `max_age=toddler`? (i.e. the oldest you can be is "a 
toddler"), likewise `min_age=young_child` for the "older" one? (Is that 
the best term?) Yes it's not a numeric age, but it's better than nothing?

You could try to micromap the individual pieces of equipment, which 
might allow data consumers to deduce what's what, but I doubt this is 
practical.

You can map if equipment can be used by kids with various degrees of 
disabilities (`wheelchair`, `sitting_disability`, `walking_disability` 
etc), which is just so nice. Please go out of your way to help them.

Obviously, put a `note` on the playgrounds explaining this.
