Are we OK with a garden zip wire kit with plastic handles, or should we go for one with a proper hang down seat thing. Our oldest child is 11 and not too heavy! It's only for them in our garden

We have one with the simple plastic handles as we were given a set. I would look into the seat if I was buying as younger children who can't hold their own weight can then have a go. Our youngest just has to watch at the moment as she can't hold herself.

On the one we have purchased you can swap the attchment over so while the bairns are yound they can use the pendulum seat and when they get a little older they can experience the thrill of the monkey bar (and I'll have a go)!
