There’s been several threads about what bikes to buy but wanted to start a general thread for anything to do with riding with kids. It can be questions about gear, feedback on gear, trails that are good for kids at X age and ability, etc.
I know there’s only so many of us on the board with younger kids but we do exist and there have been some helpful threads in the past for kid topics.
I’ll start with this tow rope I saw on Pinkbike. A bit spendy but it seems like a well thought out product that I can see myself using with my 5 year old on some trails. Even the slight uphills at a place like the lower part of Black Star are a chore for him, with a tow rope we could cover a lot more ground.
After seeing this I am going to look into some DIY options and evaluate what makes more sense to me. If I can go to ACE and make something workable for under $50 then I’d do that.

The Fanny pack the kids wear to store it is a bit ugly, hopefully they have more options.
