MDXONE Kids Snowboard Ski harness Trainer with retractable leash and Absorb bungees and removable seat harness

I use this harness for my 3-yr old. It's his first season on the slopes. We're starting him with snowboarding.The MDXONE is significantly more expensive than the cheap knock-off harnesses. I've tried those. The difference is vast.1. The handles of the MDXONE are significantly thicker and more durable. For the most part, especially as my kid was first starting to learn how to balance on his board, I really wasn't using the leash. I was standing right behind him and stabilizing him with the handles. I can pick my kid up with one hand, reposition him, save him from a spill, put him on the magic carpet or lift -- all with one hand thanks to the durability of these handles.2. Along the same lines, the harness system is way more comfortable than the ones you get on the knockoffs. The loops for my kids legs, the waist and chest straps all adjust so that there's no slack and no discomfort when I have to maneuver him around.3. The leash, and particularly the Y fork, is also just so much better designed. A lot of the knockoffs I've seen have a single point connection between the leash and the harness. The problem with that is that you will have no directional control over your child. If they don't know how to balance already, then the single connection point is only going to make things worse because you're going to compromise their posture. The Y fork allows you to have two points of connection. The MDXONE suggests a couple of different configurations but ultimately the point is that having two points of connection means I can control his angle of descent and his speed without compromising his posture.

The media could not be loaded.  Works great for little ones learning how to ride. My son did great

This harness trainer is a game-changer for teaching kids how to snowboard safely and confidently.The retractable leash is a brilliant feature that allows me to guide and support my child as they learn to balance and maneuver on the snowboard. The absorbent bungees provide just the right amount of resistance to help them stay upright and in control while preventing sudden falls.

This things is awesome. A must have for anyone teaching their kidddooo to snowboard or ski. My son loves the bag so much he wears it around the house. Buy a cloth sleeve and you can pull your kid around the house/grass to get them used to balancing. I wish I found this sooner! FYI Burton makes a sleeve for snowboards that would work great for kids using 80-90 CM boards.UPDATEI have brought my two year old a couple times using this and I swear everyone needs to invest in this to teach a kid to snowboard. My son is two and already is making turns, this leash also allows me to break his falls so when he does fall it isn’t painful. This bag also makes chairlifts a breeze and if your kids freezes up just grab the handle on the bag and you can snowboard down while holding him. Honestly these guys need to go on shark tank because this bag should be sold at ever mountain in the world. I had people stopping me all day asking about it. Buy it now, the price is worth it. The quality is amazing. Also buy the kids book that they made, my son loved it and definitely got him excited to snowboard, even comes with a back page to color which he brought with him.

Great way to handle and direct toddler on the snow....I love the grab the handle and navigate your toddler option

Best thing to buy for a little one learning to ski or board. Used this the entire season for my 4yo learning snowboarding and it's the perfect tool to control them, teach them how to control while keeping them safe (instead of barreling down the mountain).

Got our 3 year old daughter this for Xmas this year and she's loving it! She's tried it with both skiing and snowboarding and it works great both ways and was super easy to swap between the two. Backpack is super handy cause you can pack it full of extra gear and treats and snacks, and that's ideal for the super long runs down to keep the morale up, and also for her favorite part, the chairlift ride when we break out special lil treats for her. All the various grab handles have been wonderful for training her on how to ride down the hill, as well as getting her on and off the lift. Haven't used the bungee strap too much yet, but will update when we do (probably next season...) . Get yo shred on!

I bought this for keeping my tanker of a toddler within range. He loves to explore everything his eyes take in at top speed, he runs from place to place touching everything. He loves to wear it but also wanted to hold the "leash" part himself. It's extremely sturdy quality & holds up to the pull of an angry toddler that wants to go the other way or lay down when that fails. I bought it for hiking because I wanted something I felt would hold his weight for the peace of mind while he learns how to navigate in nature. I want to cultivate his love of exploring while keeping him safe from harm. I know this is for skiing or snowboarding & maybe this coming winter I'll try it for him but for adventures in exploring & hiking it's an A+!

Bought this to teach my daughter snowboarding. The material is very strong. The best thing is I no longer needed to bend my back to help my daughter to get up after falling!

I’ve been snowboarding for 22 years, worked on the mountain, built snowboard parks, and I love snowboarding. So when my kids were born I wanted to introduce them to snowboarding. I started my kids snowboarding with out any harness, it was fun but very challenging to teach new skills. Finally when my oldest turned 3, I bought a MDXOne and it got so easy! Riding the chair lift became so easy and his progression sky rocketed. By the end of the first run he could do falling leaf. By the end of the second day he was connecting turns and hitting boxes! It takes a few runs to figure out the right technique. You need to keep consistent tension on the leash, I usually just do “falling leaf” behind my kid. I also recommend not telling your kid how to do things, just have him or her watch other snowboarders and say “ok go where ever you want”. When you’re a child no one breaks down every step teaching you to walk. When kids are this young, just let them figure it out. At least that’s how it’s worked out for my two boys! Yew!!

The backpack handles make it easier and safer to pick up baby. Getting on and off the lift is helpful and the straps are all adjustable.Worked well for my daughter when she was 16 months and she's still using it now

J’ai utilisé le harnais pour les premières fois en planche à neige de mon garçon de 5 ans puisqu’a la pratique dans la pente-école, il avait de la difficulté avec le freinage. Le harnais m’a permis de limiter la distance avec lui pour que cela demeure sécuritaire. Nous avons utilisé le harnais pendant la première journée mais l’avons mis de côté par la suite. Il a continué d’utiliser le sac puisque les deux poignées sont très très utile pour le poussée ou nous aider à le soulever. Achat incontournable !

Harnais qui va très biens pour apprendre aux enfants à faire du ski. La poignée se range dans le sac pour les tapis remonte pente, pas obligé de détacher et rattacher les courroies
