Lake Rodway with kids

Hi
My nearly 5yo walked over to Wineglass Bay and back a couple of weeks ago carrying a small pack and had a great time. He's keen on an overnighter and I was thinking of heading toSteve Scott Kilbert Hut. I've never been that side of the lake before, and I was wondering about the track, particularly the Mt Campbell - Hanson's Peak saddle. I was thinking of taking the Twisted Lakes track rather than going over Hanson's Peak.
The plan in my mind was for it to just be the two of us, but my wife rightly points out that we did the Wineglass Bay walk with our 2yo on my back, and soon she'll be in that in-between phase where she's too heavy to carry and not big enough to walk, so maybe we should all go. So it'll be me with the 2yo + gear in a backpack, my wife with the loaded regular pack, and the nearly 5yo with a tiny amount in his little pack. My wife really doesn't like precarious chain assisted sections, and I believe there are some on this trip, but with the research I've attempted I can't be sure what they're like at the saddle. I'm pretty sure we've been to Marion's Lookout years ago, and there are chains there which we don't remember, so they can't have been that bad.
Thanks for your thoughts
