The tree I built on our property last year maybe doesnt 'look' safe enough for a child to climb and to sit on any of its branches. For this reason I asked Petra, one of our neighbour's children from up the street to volunteer to be put in one of the branches and demonstrate how 'looks' can be deceiving. I know she looks a little unsettled perched their in the tree but really she is quite comfortable and feeling very safe.
