Harness for kids

[WorcsWuss]

Christmas is coming and I want to get my kids a harness each, my little boy is 6 and my daughter 11. Both are at the top of their classes size wise.

 

Obviously it needs to be suitable for tree climbing but a cursory search throws up only rock climbing harnesses.

 

I quite like the look (and price!) of the Edelrid Finn harness.

 

Anyone else have any other suggestions or experience of the Edelrid?

 

Cheers

We can do any of the Petzl ones.

 

Have a look at the Petzl Aspir.

the petzl harneses are crud for trees, we use them sometimes for tree top camps co's they're less bulky to sleep in but real uncimfy to climb in!! ket the new tribe kids twist harness it will fit them right up until they are a teen or if they are of a slight build then for-ever!

Nice harness, getting on for twice the price though....

Are there any alternatives to New Tribe.... rec climbing trees seems to be quite a niche market outside of arb circles...!

I got on from here and a couple of kids helmets also.

The finn harness is the go. I got a couple for my little blokes last year when they were 6 and 3, and they're not the biggest kids. I reckon that they will last at least till they are 10. The adjustment is great throughout all the leg loops and waist. You will get heaps of use out of them.
