My daughter who's 6 is starting her 3rd season this year and I'm trying to decide which is the best grom binding for her. She needs a xs so choices are limited. On my current short list are the Burton Grom and the Flow.

Board: Lib Tech banana blaster 105cm

Flow: I have never ridden flow bindings and also have no idea about the qualty of the kids bindings. I like the ease of entry and think it might be good for her. My concerns about this binding are things like straps having to be readjusted, to much forward lean, and will a 6 year old be able to clamp the high back strap tight.

Burton grom: My son has had them two seasons and are in perfect condition. My daughter had a pair of burton binding on her "after school specail" they held up great. Her problem was she couldn't get the straps all the way tight without help. If I didn't finish cranking the strap she would just ride loose, which might no be a issue for a 6 year old???

I'm open to other brands and any recommendations.

Hopefully you can help
Thanks in advance

I used the single strap XS Burtons with my girls. They are cheap, reliable, and readily available on Ebay. I tried the Flows and it was such a PITA I got rid of them after a single outing. That was my experience, but YMMV. Even if they need a little help, I found it easy enough to give the Burton strap a crank or two and be on our way.

Thanks for the info about the flows. My local hill is all towropes and my daughter can go up them by herself and when I try to help her tighten her bindings at the top she likes to say "daddy I can do it by myself". That's where I thought the flows might come in. She could up and down with hill with no help from me. Who knows she might be strong enough to do them by herself this year.
