 Topic: reins- what are my options?
Posted: 03 July 2008 at 8:21pm |
OK so it is definitely time for me to get some reins for Ella. Having never really seen them around before, just wondering if anyone can recommend a type of reins. Also where would I go to buy some?
TIA

I have seen harness ones like the back pack but without the backpack in baby factory, have no idea of the price as we have a leather one that mum had with us, she found in invaluable when she used to take my nephew for walks when he was just finding his feet, she saved him from hitting the pavement a few times when he lost his footing

I searched all through K-mart and couldn't find them! Might have to try a different one.

I got mine off the safety4baby website and was happy with their service and everything. Plus, their site actually tells you which models are in stock and which aren't. I only recently noticed them at KMart and they only had 2 different animals there so if you wanted the option of the full range then you'd probably be better off ordering it online.

I loved the backpack ones too but didnt want to spend that much not knowing how much I will use them. Ive just purchased a pair of plain blue ones from BabyCity - cant remember exact cost but they were approx $15. I didnt want to get the wrist strap as DS is a little wriggler and would probably take it off or still refuse to let me use it.
