skiguard Ski Harness Trainer for Kids: Teach Your Child The Speed Control of Skiing and Snowboarding - Shock Absorbing Leashes - Mini Backpack - Adjustable Seat Harness - Perfect for Beginners

Very pleased with this harness. Used it for my 3.5 year old for the training slopes and was easy to use the leash when needed and the handle on the back helps so much with picking him up or helping in guiding him around. Definitely will be using it for seasons to come for the lifts. The backpack part on it is great for storage of the leashes and holding snacks and juice boxes for him. I recommend it. And a friend of mine was even able to help out when I needed a break and she found the harness was a great investment and easy to use.

We ordered this after taking our two boys skiing with another similar pack. It worked extremely well, but we quickly found we needed two as they started fighting over it. I was a bit surprised to see when it came that it was exactly the same as our previous one except the branding tags. That said, I'm not mad as this was what we wanted.I am not a ski instructor, but have been skiing, snowboarding, and teaching friends and family to do both for almost 25 years. Until I had my own children though, I had never taught kids. These packs really help a lot when there is a large height difference. The guiding I had always done previously only really works when your shoulders are close in height. Using the straps I can give a few gentle nudges, and keep them from either turning too sharply, or running out of control down the hill. More importantly it gives them the space needed to perform the movements to control their board/skis without me trampling them. This way they actually get a feel for it. Feeling really cannot be verbally explained, so it is especially important for them to experience when learning.The belt is more designed for skis, as the loops the leads connect to cannot run all the way over the front of the belt due to the buckle being there. The loops do run forward of the waist a bit though, so it works well enough in a side profile for snowboarding. For snowplow position on a board, or skiing tips down though, a lead to either side of the waist works perfectly.The pack is not huge, but I don't think you want to put much of anything in there anyway. Any weight back there will make an already difficult day even harder by throwing off their balance before they've even learned to stand on their gear. It is a convenient place to store the leads when not in use though.The top handle can be used to help kids off the chairlift, though it is not a comfortable harness to hang from, so I would only use this as a plan B. It is a lot more comfortable than getting whacked by a spinning chair though, so I appreciated it when I needed it.Overall, a great product at a good price and I recommend it.

Harness for skiing works well so long as you size it correctly and then tie a knot in the under arm straps so it doesn't loosen, otherwise the straps are too smooth to hold their place when any kind of load is placed on it. So far I've been able to grab my kiddo by the back handle or the waist strap when needed to haul her off the chair lift ramp.The leash is properly placed at the waist/ hips so it doesn't pull her off-balance, I would have liked it to be a bit longer to give her more freedom as her skills increase - maybe can rig something up with other straps as they just attach to loops on the harness.I like the backpack design, which I use to stuff the leash in when not in use. The leg straps help hold the top half in place, and there's no danger of her slipping out of it. She's currently turning 3 so I'm not sure if the buckles will hold up to her weight later on but by then she shouldn't need it anyways (here's hoping!).

We put this on my 50lb son to test it out at home before we take it to the slopes this winter. This was a little big for him but it is fully adjustable. We were able to make it secure but we did have to allow it to bunch up some. We were able to pick him up but the handle on the back and spin him around in circles without issue. He really enjoyed this part so my husband and I both took turns doing this because we'd become dizzy and need a break. The strap, handle and stitching held up just fine. We the. attached the leads and had him lean forward while we provided resistance, he was able to maintain a 45° lean without failure of the leads, straps, stitching or attaching hardware. His sister wanted to try this out too so she put it on and her brother sat on a floor scooter holding the leads while she pulled him around the house. I have no doubts that this will perform well on the slopes as it is sturdy. My daughter said it was comfortable enough but not something she'd want to wear all day. I feel like that is to be expected with any kind of safety gear though. The pockets are great for storing the leads when not in use and for small snacks or gear.

Well worth itIt adjusted perfectly to my 4 year old (had to tighten it a lot).ComfortableHandles are perfect

Good quality bag. Material seems durable.Easy to use, has two straps for ski, or can use one strap for for snowboard use.The strap has a convenient shock absorption so you don't always have tension on the strap. This helps the toddler to learn.The backpack is good for 2yrs to 8yrs.Has convenient pockets to carry small stuff too.I can recommend this without hesitation!

The Skiguard safety harness is comfortable, functional and easy to use. This harness is well made with strong straps and ample padding on the back. It's a good method for kids to start learning to ski safely. It functions as both a harness and a mini storage backpack, that's big enough to hold some personal items. The bag feels durable and well-made. But it's also quite portable, lightweight and easy to take along on the chairlift, without feeling weighed down.The harness has adjustable straps, so it's easy to establish just the right amount of length to accommodate the height of the child. The straps feel strong and have a bungee cord so they have a great amount of flexibility to allow kids to roam safely, without bouncing back too hard. They also have a decent amount of shock absorption. The padding on the back is very comfortable. Overall, this harness is a great, safe way to start learning to ski. Full marks from me!
