Hi gang,
Looking to either buy or try a kids saddle for my daughter. Don't want to spend the bucks for a "new" one until I know whether she's really interested or not.
Any help?

I don't have one in kid's size, Erik, but if I was in the market there in no question I'd be after a New Tribe.

They sure do look comfy! Might have to get one for myself.

Me too, although my Treemotion gives me a better range of motion.

Yeah, that is a drawback.

Here's an example of that exceptional ROM with the Tree Motion...I'm trying Pete McTree's out at the WCGTG.
This is taken right in the yard of our cabin at the RRR...how cool is that?
New Tribe is outstanding on so many fronts that I still am not much tempted to change to anything else.

Yeah, get the kids newtribe.
Wait- how small are the tikes we're talking about?
I got one you can try Erick. It's still to big for Trevin but I will want it back

Nick, Charlette is about 60 pounds. She's small for almost ten.
Willie... you mean you don't have him already running ropes for ya? :lol:
Appreciate the offer; I figure if she goes up with me a few times and still likes it, I'll get her one. She's been up in MY saddle a few times already, and isn't scared of anything (typical for her... FEARLESS). What'll it take to cover the handling and shipping?
Don't know, Pm your address and I will send it out and letcha know.

Not a big secret. :lol:
the NT is a great kids harness - My grand started at the old age of 8 and the grand son at 7 - they are both under 60 lbs and have a NT Small - What I did was place a bucket on the first branch that was filled with water balloons, she had to get to that. Now she (age10) will go up about 40 and sit with me. The grand son is fearless and with his dad, watching he went to the tiein at 60 foot the first climb. they both also like to go up about 4 foot and just swing.
What i like about them climbing, it is all them - they are only against themselves, not like a team sport. Bug has gained some much from her climbs with me. there is a bucket at the 60 foot mark now and she needs to get there this summer.

Good looking kids, Shari....great idea about the bucket of water balloons. I could have fun with that.
