This sounded as if you would give us some advice re the discomfort in
the family jewels area that many unicycling men experience, or have
dealt with as the case may be. So I was curious to see what a woman
would have to say about the issue.
But reading the rest of your post, it seems to be more about the “how
to teach a child” question. Obviously an evergreen as well. I’m not
sure though if your suggestion to use chairs as a riding surface would
work. Are they stable enough? Doesn’t it scare the learning child to
be that high (in addition to the balancing they have to do)?

Klaas - I was referring to the post by Sarah Miller where she commented on how fast the UK unicycle mob were breeding. Maybe it didn’t go through to the non-forum side of the board.
Now here you’re either being sarcastic or an idiot, and I’m assuming the former. I MEANT putting up an aisle of chairs for her to ride between, using them as support, instead of an adult bent double and experiencing great back pain. I am 1.75m tall, my brother is 1.89m tall, and bending down far enough to support a 4YO on a 20 is not fun.
I assume you’re just being nasty because I expressed the desire to scupper learning on the coker and you don’t want to lose the point on your graph. Well - after the “Crazy Wierdo” comment in this post I’m more determined than ever to finish learning on the coker. Happy now?
Try using a push chair instead of chairs. It was recomended to me for the kids to push a shopping trolley / push chair, definitely saves your back!
On my gallery I have added a 33sec (2.2Meg) video showing Danny pushing ‘his’ pushchair (he stopped sitting in it a couple of years back). He is aged 5 and is starting to do fairly well with a hand, better than with the pushchair.

Sounds like on a really good day you won’t be able to concentrate on
your uni skills

No I’m an idiot. Or I must have been sleep-deprived when I read that.
I imagined that you would set up a course of chairs side by side, to
have the child to ride on the seats. Supported at each end (hand) by
an adult who then wouldn’t have to bend over. It made some sense in my
imagination.
