Blizzard's FW26\/27 catalog lists article 8A6424MH with the FDT JR 4.5 binding, and our listing carries the retail binding name. It is one package and one article number, not two products.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan the binding be adjusted as my child grows?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-faq-answer\"\u003eYes, within a range. Junior system bindings adjust for boot sole length across several boot sizes without remounting, which is most of the reason to buy a system package rather than a flat ski. Bring the skis and the new boots in and we will reset the length and recheck the release setting.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eShould we get the 4.5 or the 7.0 version?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-faq-answer\"\u003eIt comes down to your child's weight, height, boot sole length and how hard they ski, not to the ski, which is identical between the two packages. A lighter child needs release settings a 7-rated binding cannot reach low enough for. Bring them in with their boots and we will work it out against the chart.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWill my child outgrow the 4.5 binding before the ski?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-faq-answer\"\u003ePossibly, and that is worth planning for. Children usually outgrow a release range before they outgrow a ski length, so if your child is already near the top of the 4.5 range, the same ski on the 7.0 binding is the better buy even if it feels early.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"ccbb-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eOur Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-verdict\"\u003eThe Blizzard Canvas JR and Marker 4.5 exists so that a lighter child does not have to ski a narrower ski. The ski itself is identical to the 7.0 package at 105-74-96 mm with radius from 8 m to 14 m, and the only difference is a binding that reaches lower release settings. That makes this a fitting decision rather than a performance one, and it is the kind of decision worth making in a shop with the child and their boots present rather than online.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blizzard","offers":[{"title":"148","offer_id":47887247835293,"sku":"8A6424MH-001148","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"138","offer_id":47887247868061,"sku":"8A6424MH-001138","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"128","offer_id":47887247900829,"sku":"8A6424MH-001128","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"118","offer_id":47887247966365,"sku":"8A6424MH-001118","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"108","offer_id":47887247999133,"sku":"8A6424MH-001108","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/1650__resize__8A6422MG-001_Canvas_JR_01.webp?v=1788543928","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/blizzard-canvas-jr-and-marker-4-5-binding","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
