LittleLife Dinosaur Toddler Safety Reins, (Blue), 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

As you'd expect from a brand like Trunki, child-friendly design is at the heart of these reins and they come in a whole host of colourful animal designs, including Leeroy the Lion, Betsy the Bear, Dudley the Dinosaur and Ollie the Owl. A removable safety rein gives parents control in busy places, whilst allowing children the freedom they need to build their confidence. The Lehoo Castle wrist strap also has a lock and key fastening, meaning curious children can't just unclip the wrist strap on their own (they key sits within the parent strap, so you have no risk of losing it). Unlike some of the other reins included in this list there is no chest strap or clip at the front that your toddler can undo. It's designed for small wearers so the bag itself is a pint-sized 24 cm x 20 cm x 7 cm, but that should be enough to hold some toys, snacks and other toddler essentials.

The reins are also lightweight and fully adjustable, so you and your child are comfy, safe and liberated from buggies. Each has its purpose but you'll probably want a more secure harness for a younger child, while a backpack or wrist strap is more suited to confident toddlers or older children. Some models can also be useful when your child is first learning to walk, to provide a little extra reassurance and support.They're compact and easy to pack in a bag or pocket, and the two-point clips ensure you have good control as a parent, while your child never feels like they're being dragged. Others can feel that it is restricting for their child to wear reins, or worry they may be uncomfortable. The reins are easy to clip on and off at the top, allowing parents to keep hold of their kids in public spaces, but it's not as secure as some styles and is probably better for occasional use when kids are more confident on their feet, rather than as a training tool. Parent tester Elisa also uses these reins and agreed that they helped her keep control of her toddler and prevented her from having to run after him which she expresses is difficult due to her disability.

This adorable toddler backpack with reins has a handy velcro wrist strap which parent tester Erika who uses these reins with her toddler (pictured above) says, "Is very handy as we can be pretty much hands-free, which is great, especially when my husband has the dog in tow too! Storage – Backpacks allow children to carry some of their own items along with them and are often made in extra fun designs which children may be excited to wear. I tried these with my toddler son and was impressed by the security of the straps and easy adjustment, as well as the padding in the breathable canvas material, but did find that clasp on the back is a little stiff and counterintuitive at first. They're designed to take a child from training to toddling, with convertible straps that make them suitable for training from as young as 6 months.As toddlers gain their independence, they’ll love taking their own treasures with them in their dinosaur backpack. All the clips and buckles are on the back so that the child cannot play with them and what is better than having a friendly Llama on your front? They’re also lightweight and fully adjustable, so you and your child are comfy, safe and liberated from buggies.
