Hello -

 

I am looking for a source for roller-tables or conveyor belts for use in a
small farm-to-market exhibit at a children's museum.  

 

I've seen some components at MSCdirect and such, but would love input from
someone who has used them in a museum setting, especially with small
children (ages 3-10).  

 

What works, what to look out for, any particular style or model number
that's more kid-friendly and less likely to cause injuries?

 

I'm leaning toward just the passive roller style, but if anyone has put
together a manually cranked conveyor belt, I would appreciate hearing about
that experience as well.

 

Thanks!
