The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space.

Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts.

The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions.

In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Excellent Protection for Active Kids
The Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 70 has become a must-have in our outdoor routine. This sunscreen provides outstanding protection for my child’s skin, and I trust it to keep them safe during long hours outside. Reliable Sun Protection for Kids This sunscreen offers excellent SPF 70 protection, which is ideal for active kids who love being outdoors. I appreciate that it’s designed specifically for children, and it holds up well during activities, even with a lot of sweating or water play. Slightly Thick, but Worth the Effort The only small drawback is that it’s a bit thick, making it a little difficult to squeeze out of the bottle. However, once applied, it absorbs well and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, so it’s worth the minor inconvenience. Final Thoughts Overall, Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion is an effective, reliable option for parents looking to keep their children protected in the sun. Despite the thicker consistency, it’s easy to apply and provides lasting coverage—highly recommended for peace of mind outdoors!

Love this product!
This sunscreen is heavy duty, I use it on my boys when we go to beach (They love to spend hours and hours under the blistering sun) and it out performs other brands and has longer protection than their 50 SPF product.

Sun Safe and Satisfied
Living in Arizona, where the sun reigns supreme, finding a reliable sunscreen for my daughter has been paramount. Our spring and summer are filled with swimming lessons, poolside gatherings, and outdoor adventures. In this sun-drenched setting, Coppertone SPF 70 Sunscreen for Kids has become our go-to sun protection. The standout feature for me is its thick consistency. It’s a parent’s little helper, allowing clear visibility of where the sunscreen is applied to ensure no spot is missed. And the results speak for themselves – my daughter hasn't had a sunburn since we started using it. While she doesn’t have the fairest skin and tends to tan rather than burn, the effectiveness of this sunscreen has been impressive. I’ve even used it on my own skin, particularly on my shoulders, and I'm happy to report no sunburns there either. It’s reassuring to have a product that I can trust for both myself and my child. However, I’m aware of the growing concerns regarding certain sunscreen ingredients and their potential health implications. Coppertone SPF 70 contains a mix of chemical sunscreens like Avobenzone, Homosalate, and Oxybenzone. These ingredients have raised questions in recent years. Some studies suggest that chemical sunscreens can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, leading to potential health risks. Oxybenzone has been under scrutiny for its potential effects on coral reefs and marine life, as well as concerns about hormonal disruption in humans. While these ingredients have been effective in preventing sunburns for us, I understand the importance of making informed choices, especially when it comes to health and wellness. As with any health-related product, I encourage others to research and decide what’s best for their family, considering both the effectiveness of sun protection and the potential impacts of ingredients. In conclusion, Coppertone SPF 70 has been a reliable ally in our family's fight against sunburns. It's a product that offers peace of mind when it comes to sun protection, but mindful consideration of its ingredients is advised for those who are concerned about the broader implications of chemical sunscreens.

Amazing how fast it goes on without the white look!
This stuff is amazing!! I wear baby sunscreen because I rub my eyes a lot, but most of it takes forever to rub in and not look white. This rubs in immediately like any other sunscreen, and it doesn’t burn my eyes at all, not even when I scratch my face and then rub my eyes. So it’s great for small children too, not just 75 yr old ones!

Used for years
I have used this sunscreen since my kids were toddlers. I don’t find it sticky and it turns clear pretty fast. I don’t typically need to reapply on them more than once.
