For God's sake, talk to an instructor in your local area that has lots of expertice with children, there's always one or two that will be recommended by other divers, and ask question after question. Do this after YOU have tried different BCs in the pool yourself so you know what's going on.
Sheesh....
All very good points but not all that feasible. Most of the local shops carry one or two brands of BC's, so at best you get to try out their 5 year old training BC's. I've not seen a BP/W setup in any of my local shops, let alone have the ability to try one in a pool, that's why the ask question after question is placed here on a forum where hopefully it is possible to get good answers from people who have experience.
I'm looking to get rid of my Scubapro Knighthawk BC and go BP/W myself, and I'll deal with any issues associated with it and decide whether I want my child to use this as a first BC after she becomes certified, but I like to get opinions from this huge wealth of experience here on scubaboard.
Thanks
