Hi,

I need to buy a trapeze harness for my daughter who just turned 10. She is of normal height for that age and weighs around 30 to 35Kg. There isn't anything in stock that fits her here in Singapore and I don't want to order something blindly over the internet.

Has anyone on this forum had a child / sibling etc that fits roughly the above description who used a trap harness? If so what make & model was it? Any recommendation you will have will be most appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,

I believe you require a junior harness, of which I only know that the Magic Marine smart harness is made in Junior sizes. The JM should be the correct size, it has quite a lot of adjustment so will allow for growth.

I hope this is some help.

Trident Marine do very small sizes - I got one for my 10 yr old that fitted like a glove.

KK - I have a very basic old (but unused) Musto harness that I was given years ago by a TV presenter (long story) - you are more than welcome to give it a try to see if it works...I'll bring it along on the 19th.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate all the comments and particularly Blobby's generous offer! (Is that a kid's size harness Blobby?)

I came across this size chart for various manufacturers and thought of posting it here for general reference. h http://www.apsltd.com/SizingCharts.asp#magicmarine - ttp://www.apsltd.com/SizingCharts.asp#magicmarine

Hope this helps some one as it did for me. Regards, KK
