Junior

Children's passenger harness

Junior is the first bi-place harness for children, which is certified according to LTF and EN standard. Thus it probably is the safest way to fly with young passengers.

Optimal safety

The Junior was equipped with a full foam protector, fall-out protection and special closures, which reliably prevent unintentional opening in flight.

Belt geometry suitable for children

The child-friendly harness geometry ensures a secure hold and prevents unforeseen weight shifts.

FAQ

Yes! Junior is the first bi-place passenger harness for kids. The harness is certified according to LTF and EN standards. The requirements a child harness needs to fulfill at certification tests are just the same as requirements for regular paragliding harnesses. As the child harness is much smaller than regular harnesses, the force applied to the harness, in comparison, is much higher. Therefore we are proud to have reached the admission criteria even at first attempt.

No! We deliberately didn't use automatic belt locks. The locks we use, particularly the chest belt lock, can not be opened during flight, due to a drop-out safeguard.

It is advisable, even if the child is still small, to choose size M. The provided adjustment makes it possible to use it for a small child, too. Even if the seat board is quite long, the seating is going to be appropriate for your child.
