Baby Reins That Toddlers Will Happily Put On

It's a fact! As soon as they learn how to use their legs, any youngsters will toddle into dangerous situations unless baby reins are used to keep them safely in check. However, most toddlers view them as an unnecessary hindrance to their explorations and will throw a tantrum rather than be restrained.

Unfortunately, even if you can get the reins on without too many tears, children are clever little devils who will find a way to slip out the very second your attention is diverted by checking the traffic before crossing a road or digging a sippy cup out of your bottomless bag.

So what would the ideal safety rein be? For starters, an item that the child would actually want to wear! As back up, it would require a strong leash attachment designed to be completely childproof.

And, whilst allowing them independence, it would be great if they could carry around some of their own stuff, providing easy access to their favourite toy or cup!

In a shopping arcade once I called "watch out!" to a cute padded-anorak wearing toddler that was about to run straight into the path of a mobility scooter. As I registered the unattached baby leash in my hand - or rather, the empty other end of it - it dawned on me that calling the child's name might have been a more effective option. Yup, it was my little man and, like Houdini, he had mastered the skill of escaping his wrist strap.

The thick material of his new winter coat meant that his usual chest harness did not fit and, as there wasn't much choice in reins or leashes, I had to use the wrist strap. The thought of all the worse situations that could have occurred didn't make me feel any less panicked or guilty...

Luckily, mums these days have the perfect answer - cute plush animal backpacks that include a safety leash as the tail. All kids love wearing their cuddly animals on their backs - complete with their best treasures and drinks inside. And Mum or Dad gets to hold onto the tail - cleverly attached out of reach of evil genius hands - secure in the knowledge that riders of motorised wheelchairs need not worry about escaped toddlers!

Good news! Baby-reins just stopped being giant pains!
