          this is awesome! We have been using ours for 3 years. We haven't used the leashes for years but our (now) 5 year old daughter is still wiggly on the chairlifts and the handle provides us a HUGE sense of relief. Also makes is simple to get her onto the old style fast chairlifts. Would recommend this to every parent who skis with young children!!!

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Great for teaching; use it upside-down!

              Comments about Lucky Bums Deluxe Ski Trainer Harness:

              Very helpful for getting small kids on/off the lift. For skiing, the leashes attach too high, so I put it on my daughters upside down (shoulder straps going through the legs). Works well that way with the attach points right on the hips, near their center of gravity.

              It's a little annoying to have to turn it upside down every time before/after getting on the lift, but well worth it. The extra confidence it gives my girls makes a big difference. I mostly only have to apply tension via the straps to avoid crashes or when the slope gets too steep. My older daughter (8) has already graduated from using it, and my 6-year-old still asks for it when on slopes a little out of her comfort range.

                  Pulls your child backwards when they need to be leaning forward as all of us skiers know. So I feel it teaches bad habits right of the bat.

                      Well made durable product that I used with my 4 year old daughter. Not only helped on the slope while she was learning but we continued to use it for several seasons to help her on and off the chair. Very secure and gave her confidence which is so important for young children. The pack is great for treats on the chair ride up. I strongly recommend and would not start a young child skiing without it.

                      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
