I have both Treelounges and Gunslingers which are the sit and climb type. They are much easier to climb with. I have a bad hip and it doesn't phase me to climb with one of these stands.I would either buy the attachment you're talking about or invest in a different climber where you sit and climb.There is no strain on your body using this method.Using your legs to climb is allot easier in my opinion
