Petzl Ouistiti
Best intuitive full body harness for young children starting to climb.
This full-body harness turns the often-fiddly process of gearing up a child into a foolproof, two-second task. By prioritizing intuitive, color-coded design and keeping buckles safely out of reach, it removes the anxiety of climbing for both parent and kid, though you do sacrifice the adjustability found in adult-sized gear.
