LUCKY CLOVERSki Harness for Kids: Learn to Ski Safely and Teach Your Child

I ordered this one for my daughter to use when she is developing her ski skills. I have used one from a different company in the past. I am comparing this to the one I have used for this review.1. Stitching: well made, with even stitches throughout the product. It compares just as well as the other brand.2. Tow point: this is one reason why I ordered this. It's tow point for skiing is at the hips which is nearer to the center of gravity. It is much better than the other I have which pulls in the middle of the chest causing more instability.3. Adjustability: this is where it shines! There are adjustable straps for nearly everything on this! It makes it extremely versatile for a lot of users and as the kids grow. You can adjust it to their comfort level and it keeps the tow point where you want it. My other one, had a few areas to adjust, but not much room to fine tune it.4. Style: the colors to choose from are great. It makes her want to where it because it looks like a nice, small backpack. My other one had neutral colors and was really just a pouch on the back.5. Strong handle: the handle on the top allows you to use it to lift the child while wearing it and gives you a place to hold them while riding the chair lift. My other one has the same feature and compares well.6. Strap storage: the tow straps are stored in a pocket in the back pack. There are still other pockets to store snacks, hand warmers, or an extra hat or gloves as well. My old one has a strap storage pouch but nothing else.7. Tow straps: this one has a shock absorbing elastic section that also takes up some slack. It has thick handles as well to hold on to. It compares well to the other one I use for the most part. I do think these clips may not hold up as well, but time will tell. I also preferred the looser handles of my old one because I wrap them around my wrists to make sure I don't lose them/drop them by mistake. The bulky handle on this is more of a hinderance in this case.8. Price: highly competitive and actually a better deal for what you get compared to the other.Overall it is a great product that I will be able to use for my next daughter when it is her time to learn. I am very happy with this and so is my daughter. If she is excited to wear something that keeps her safe it is a win in my book!

I love the Lucky Clover brand. They make quality ski products that capture the essence of the challenges we skiers face. And there is no more gripping an ordeal than teaching your little mini-me to ski without fear. I don't want to tame my spunky kid's wild abandon. I just don't want him hurt or escaping my reach when he decides he has wings to fly! And as much as he wants to be on his own, I know that his confidence comes from being tied to me skiing behind him, far enough away but still in control. It's a win-win when done right. This harness is smartly designed and ruggedly constructed, in catchy vivid colors, to make my little skier feel like the gear is for the big guys when he is wearing it. He enjoys suiting up, it's HIS backpack and the point of being tethered doesn't come to the forefront. Sometimes when there is no downhill he is NOT tethered, just wearing the harness and backpack like real skiers do. When I grab the reins it is "Don't lose mommy!" and not the other way around. Let me also mention, on two occasions, when we went to a very busy mall during a 50% SALE frenzy, and then at an outdoor concert that was packed, I had him wear this harness, telling him it will show everyone you're a skier, when it was actually to ensure that he was safely tethered to me in a chaotic crowd where he could easily be snatched, even with me right there. Or worse yet, if there was ever a crowd stampede. It's a crazy world, and he is my most precious possession. SO what I am saying is that this harness could also be advertised and sold as personal protection equipment for kids too big for a stroller who can easily let go of your hand. Thank you Lucky Clover for including the whole family in creating wonderful dependable and fashionable products that make our lives so much better!

Seems to be made of quality material and having an extra pocket on the back could be nice for using it as a backpack when the kid is older to keep tissues or a small snack, but not really big enough for a water bottle or anything. We had planned to use this for our almost 3 year old (turns three in one month) but it’s too big for her, so we’re just trading it out for the one we use with our 5 year old who’s also learning. Fits the 5 year old just fine. The lead on it is long enough, but shorter than our other harness we have. Shorter would be totally fine for the younger sibling, but for our older kid we prefer to give her more room because she’s just more advanced and capable. I’m also not the biggest fan of the handles on the leads, but the length and handles are purely a personal preference. I do however like the elastic part on the leads. Gives more of a gradual slow down than an abrupt one. It would get a 5/5 except it says for ages 2-4 and I don’t think a 2 year old would be able to use this (my youngest is in the 60th percentile for her height for reference). Picture of light blue coat is 5 y/o and dark blue stars is the just under 3 y/o.

We have been looking for a ski backpack for our kids for a while. Its always great to be able to tether them to a more advanced skiier and let them learn at their own pace. If there is one thing that is true, its very easy to scare a young kid and they wont have any desire to keep learning if they are scared. This backpack allows you to slow down and give your child a thorough walkthrough of skiing or snowboarding.As for the backpack, its made really well with several harness straps and buckles to wrap around your child. The long straps to hold are long enough to give them space and are pretty heavy duty. I don't worry about them breaking or failing. Overall 5/5 stars for build quality, would highly recommend.

This is a very high quality harness. It adjust in many ways and seems very sturdy.PROS- Adjusts well: There are adjustments on the top and bottom of the shoulder straps. There are also adjustments for a tighter fit around the waist. There are also adjustments on the straps that the parent holds on to. They all seem high quality and that they'll hold a child well. You can also place the straps from the parent to the harness on 3 different spots around the child's waist for skiing.- Ski/Snowboard: It is nice to be able to have the two options.- Pockets: There are two decent sized pockets for phones. The big one could hold a tablet but they're close in size.- Handle: The top handle feels very sturdy. It can easily be used to lift up your child to their feet.I don't have any complaints about this harness. It is lightweight so doesn't really disrupt much but is still strong enough to be very useful.
