Are reigns safe?

Hi i always used reigns for my twins when they were tiny they were great especially when going shopping as well when they got older we used the links as they do give them a little more freedom , we still use a wrist link for our son Thomas who has autism and this has been a life saver in more ways than one !

Yes, they are safe. A whole lot safer than relying on your child never letting go of your hand at a critical moment.

I can't see what the relevance of colic is at all - you're not planning on carrying them by the reins, surely? You might just want to check with your daughter that was operated on that they don't rub on any scars that she has.

Walking is good for your kids. Being permanently strapped in a buggy isn't. Reins are an excellent way to let your child walk and keep them safe at the same time. They're only like the harness in a buggy, after all.

Yippee! A mum who values her kids! I'm sorry, but I often see mums marching off with their little ones trailing some way behind. What type of reins are you planning on using? i would avoid the wrist type like the plague. i think that wrists would be injured using them. My Health Visitor told me that wrist reins were dangerous, I can't remember why, this was over 10 years ago, when my eldest was small! I had the chest harness reins for both my boys. If you are worried about safety, chat to your Health Visitor or doctor! I am sure that they would applaud you for being safety conscious!

Reins are great, but hard work! It takes about 3 times as long to get anywhere, once the child has found its feet it also finds its willpower to go to check out the ants crawling out of the hole in the path, the barking dog at someone's gate, the flowers etc etc.

Try to get some of the more expensive 'old fashioned' style ones with a bigger chest plate (usually leather) as opposed to the cheapy strappy ones. I reckon they must me more comfy when you catch the kid just before they hit the pavement and they're swinging mid air. You'll see what I mean once they're on reins.

I used them for my three boys when they were young, but I still made a rule about holding on to the buggy, that way the boys were not restrained by the reins but learned to stay close and safely.

Yes they are completely safe I use them on my 2 year old daughter regularly. That way I know that she is safe but she can have freedom at the same time.

I personally do not like the wrist links either They do not feel as secure to me and I am scared of hurting her wrists

Yes reigns are a great idea and you can almost stop them from falling over by pulling back on the reigns when they trip!

3 at once would be a challenge but better to have them attached to you in some way than having to run off in three different directions to catch your speedy youngsters :)

Yes they are safe, though kids only seem to tolerate them for a little while. I would LOVE to see three little triplets toddling about together - it would be beyond cute. You could probably sell tickets!

Yes they are fine - the old type designed to keep children safe and secure but comfortable too - once you can hold them still for long enough to let you strap them on!

Yep they are safe and a great idea, so long as you are watching your kids ALL the time with them on!!

Triplets! WOW! You have ur hands full!
