Youthsaddle question

[bowbender73]

So basically, I've been taking my youngest kids out hunting from the tree for the first time this year. We have been using sets that already have a permanent hang on, with me saddled up slightly behind and above them. They've been using an old small size harness, and climbing steps usually. I when flying solo use a RADS system and am really sold on this. My thoughts are drifting probably not getting them a full saddle system but maybe a youth climbing harness?

Anybody have any experience or suggestions for smallish size rock climbing/arborist harness ? There both around 5' and 100#, both athletic, but not full blown climbers

Have you seen the NT youth twist saddle??

I just went to NT's site and they have another youth saddle I think might fit your purpose better. It's the kids soft side D. That way they have a lanyard all the way to hunting height. Petzel makes kids harnesses as well but I don't think they would do what you want. Here's the link for the NT harness.

Just checked it out, that looked perfect...until I measured up my early teen daughter......lets just say dad still believes she a little girl
Looks like I might have to go up into a small adult size. Unfortunately I don't have the means to buy a full blown rig like my evo, might look for a used walkabout or, maybe the regular twist. No soft loops but looks good otherwise.
