Converting 2 to 4 line

I was just wondering can you convert a 2 line trainer to 4 line so you can fly it on handles. Its the perfect size for my son, he flys it now but it is very hard to relaunch.

Thanks

the bridle is two line - there isn't any trailing edge bridle to connect up to make it into a 4 line. Some kites have tabs along the trailing edge to add a bridle and you can get an optional bridle kit to add the bridle on and convert it. I don't think kite has that option.

I am not familiar enough with that kite to know for sure if it is convertible. The easy way to tell is if it has bridle lines already attached to the trailing edge than this is a sign it can be converted. If there are no trailing edge lines or any attachment point for lines than it can not be easily converted.
