Baby Leash, Baby Reins? Might As Well Try to Use Some Chains!
Baby Leash, Baby Reins? Might As Well Try to Use Some Chains!
Copyright (c) 2010 Ashley J DownsIt'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? Well for a start, something children actually wanted to wear! Secondly it would need a strong leash attachment that was child "evil genius" proof. And while we're teaching them independence, I'd like them to be able to carry some of their own stuff around and make it much more accessible for those urgent moments in the middle of outings when only that particular green sippy cup or silky edged blankie is good enough!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. Yes, he was my mini-person and yes, he'd learned to escape 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!
