IKEA has several measures in place for kid safety with the drop off system. All kids must be signed in and out by the same person. Adults and kids get matching hand stamps with a number and parents get a beeper with the corresponding number that will light up when you need to return. Adults must also retain the slip that you fill out during drop off to show when you come to sign your child out.
Smaland has its own bathroom inside so kids never need to leave the area. There is a strict 1 hour, once a day policy adhered to. The maximum number of kids allowed in the play area depends on the number of staff on duty. On a quiet weekday morning there was only one staff member which limited the space to 6 kids.
