Reins

My toddler certainly reigns 😜

wasn’t sure how it was spelt so just went with it 😂😂😂

I know it can be a polarising topic but I am 100% for using reigns. Used them with my eldest and again with my 1 year old.
Means they have freedom to move around and explore, but also can’t get too far. They’re also handy for catching them if they fall.

We have the Toddl Pak ones from trunki and absolutely love them. The clip on the back was quite stiff to start with but gets easier with use. I would always choose chest reigns over the wrist ones as you are less likely to injure their arms/elbows from pulling.

thank you! 🙂

I have some and I will be using them when my lo decides to walk soon. If she walks anything like how she crawls, we're going to need them or we'll be chasing her everywhere 🤣 it's the safety aspect for me. They can't accidentally run into a road and you can catch them before the fall etc.

I have cute reins backpack ready for when my twins start to walk. Figure they’ll have more freedom than if I’m holding their hand and definitely the safest option! I was a 90s child on reins and I turned out fine! Xx

I've bought mine some but haven't attempted to use them outside as she loves to run inside but is a bit more hesitant outside

I don't see anything wrong with them, allows them to explore safely

I don't see a problem with them and plan on using them for my little one so he can explore safetly once he's a little more confident on his feet. ☺️

Just out of curiosity as I have no idea about reins, why are they supposed to be bad?

I used them with my now 3yo and have already used them with my girl. I don’t think I’ve had any negative experiences with them.

some people have issues as they see it as putting your child on a leash like a puppy.

My boy has the backpack one. He hates holding our hands when he's walking x

I don’t see an issue with them. I’d rather my child be safe for multiple reasons. People will judge if your child was loose and running around everywhere but then also judge you for ‘having them tied up like a dog’. Tbh a BIG reason I would especially in busy areas is I’m petrified of kids getting taken, so for me yes, I’d rather my kid was ‘tied up’ than missing.

that’s so weird!! They have too much spare time to think 😂x

I’ve never seen the issue with reins. Who cares if it keeps them safe.
