+KK7X Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I am sure this has come up before. In my opinion a "Kid Friendly" Cache should never be a Premium Member only cache. It should be a cache that a kid can use a Geomate Jr. for. Of course the parent could use his/her device but that defeats the purpose of the Jr. BTW we are new to Geocaching and my 10 daughter has a natural talent. We could be 10 feet away from a cache and she will go "I know where it is" and go right to it and grab it. This has happened a number of times. I am amazed every time.

+StarBrand Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 To me a kid friendly cache is a regular sized one with some nice swag for kids. No matter the terrain so long as they can get to it and spend time with me. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 When the Geomate, Jr. was first released, there was quite an uproar about it on this forum (I was a part of the uproar, admittedly). One solution that was proposed, and undoubtedly a step taken by some, was to make their caches Subscriber Only for just the purpose of keeping them off the Jr. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 In my opinion a "Kid Friendly" Cache should never be a Premium Member only cache. OK, so if I remove the "Kid Friendly" attribute from my PMO cache, does that make you happier? Quote Link to comment

KK7X Aren't all caches supposed to be family friendly? If a kid's out caching on his own, there are some of mine I wouldn't want a kid - let alone an adult - to attempt unassisted. I don't see any reason to change my PM only caches to all users just because there's a new device on the market aimed at kids.... and besides, I thought the Geomate Jr only loaded caches up to a certain D/T rating?
