Also...don't forget that when you get kids stuff you need a double setup as you can't just have some 7 year old climb up a tree an hope they can figure things out at the top..you will need your own gear as well. Here is a basic/generic list of items you will need and should have to climb with kids...At least this is what I used yesterday climbing in the backyard with the kids.

Arborist Rope x 2
Adult New Tribe harness
Adult helmet
Kid New Tribe harness
Kid helmet
Carabiner x 2
Throwline and shot bag
Barksaver x 2
A little bit of prusik cord to help them climb

That, some training and a good dose of common sense are all you need to get up in a tree.

Might be worth mentioning that most rock harnesses (maybe all?) don't provide tie-ins for a personal lanyard. That's one thing I don't like about my Black Diamind kid's harness.
