The dreaded kiddie reins....

I used reigns for Kiya... and we're thinking we might just get some for Josiah to make it easier when out and about with 3 little boys! Josiah's a bit older though, and pretty good about walking along holding the pushchair the few times I've gone out without the toddler seat.

The gremlins both have harness buddies, they are awesome! Haven't had any negative comments (yet!) but I have had two Asian couples stop and ask if they can take a photo of them coz they are so cute. I think it's the twin thing, that might put people off making negative comments too - there are two of them, therefore I *need* reins to keep them under control!

I had a wrist strap with Maya when we were in London, she was closer to 2 at the time and it was good coz it gave her a bit of freedom but not enough for her to get run over or abducted.

Lol! That would have been so funny! I so don't get what the big deal is- why people even think to comment. Surely its better to have a 'runner' in reins and safe I could understand people commenting if you had a choker chain on- but its not like its doing them any harm, quite the opposite.

I'm so getting one of those buddy ones for Kate! I get the feeling shes going to be a runner. We had a wrist strap that we've used for Charlotte in the international airports or the odd big busy place we've gone too- not so much to stop her running off but more to stop anyone running off with her

It's like from the second you become pregnant you and your child are suddenly public business. I've had a couple of instances (not related to kiddie reins) when I've had to put strangers in their place. I guess it's all part of the job.
