Question

i going to design a train strap hanger which is suitable for smaller kids. Because most of the strap hanger are position quite high above a child's reach. So do you have any information about it or anything related to my project ? or what do you think i can improve my project or add something to it ?

Answer 1

Good idea

not everyone is 5 1/2' tall

it should be easily adjustable but secure when it is set,

Probably some sort of nylon webbing with a seat buckle type adjustment mechanism that moves easily but locks securely in position.

good luck with it

Answer 2

Not feasable,   physics.

To reach the kids,  the hangers would have to be longer.  This presents two major problems,......

1.    hanging in the face of taller passengers

2.    the longer length allows more sway and instability.

Answer 3

Straphangers tend not to be fitted to new builds. Current thinking is to favour floor to ceiling grab polls - have a look at the interiors of the South West Trains Cl455 fleet after their internal rebuild
