Kids Climbing Harness?

[gleaf]

I'd like to get my 2 year old girl swinging around in a harness and am wondering what full-body harness you guys would recommend? I was looking at the Petzl Ouistiti but not sure if it would work well for such a small kid? Any suggestions

My daughter has been in that harness since 3. Works well

The Edelrid Fraggle is a big improvement on the Ouistiti

Lots more padding and will fit a smaller kid better.

I bought the Rock Empire Apache harness for my 2 years old kids, he's 35-40 pound and it work better than the Ouisiti beacause it can adjust much smaller.

I regularly used that petzl one when I worked at the climbing gym. No complaints. It had a fairly wide range.

I ended up ordering the elderid fraggle....liked the extra padding and reviews for smaller kids. Fun to get the little ones having some fun on rope!

i just looked at this online and it does look comfy. However, the attachment point for rope/hardware sits high...almost mid chest to face level. Is that an issue with yours?

Just got it in the mail today and it'll be perfect for her...cinches down nicely for a wee little 2 year old. Phil I think the attachment point sitting up higher actually helps the kids sit a little more upright in the harness. Otherwise when it's lower she wants to arch backwards. Got her 20 ft up a spruce in the yard today!

Great to hear Gleaf!

Yeah, for the littlies they need it up high to help keep them upright, not really having the core strength to hold themselves up in a lower body style harness.

No doubt.. High attachment point prevents inversion, which could be a life saver...
