Allergy Alert Wristbands

3 year old DS2 will start pre-school later in the year. I'd like for him to start wearing a wristband displaying his allergies, as it's likely he'll be in more situations where I'll not be there to check everything for him Sad.

Can anyone recommend anything? I did see one i liked but it only displayed one allergy, and he unfortunately has seven.

We use Medic alert, they've got all sorts of children's wrist bands. My DD is 2.5 and it seems to put up with her chewing it. It's velcro so adjustable as she grows and the allergies and action to be taken is engraved onto it.

Hi we use ICE gems www.icegems.co.uk/childrens-id-wristbands-pendants/fun-fab-kids-medical-id.html
Choice of fun child-friendly straps and personalised engraved alert plate, and very reasonably priced (compared to some I looked at!). My 4 yr old DS loves his! One thing, the straps are very long so we trimmed ours and sealed the end with a lit match IYSWIM.

Ours is from Creations. It also has personalised plate and a sports band. We have 3 bands which DS changes depending on his mood. Grin
