Full Harnesses

This is a list of links showing where you can currently find kids full harnesses which are good for smaller kids with less hip definition. Note that these are not recommendations and the list of suppliers is not in order of preference, just as I found them. Last updated 06/04/08.

While strictly two separate items, I've included this combo here as it's a versatile alternative to the full harness - the sit harness can be used later on it's own.

Important Supplier Note

This site was first built to help parents to locate difficult to source information about UK-based suppliers of children's climbing gear, so it is a useful resource that will increase traffic to your web site. This site does not generate any revenue and I am not being paid to provide this resource. If you are one of the linked suppliers and do not wish to be included, please contact me and I will remove you from the listings. The images were taken from various supplier web sites. If you are unhappy about my including one of your images on this site, please contact me and I will remove it.
