Reins for slightly older child

3 replies

Bookworm19 · 31/03/2021 11:31

My son is 4 and diagnosed autistic. He's outgrowing his current reins and I'm on the lookout for ones suitable for slightly older child. Naturally, they're aimed at young toddlers, but he haszero danger awareness of roads so still needs them. Can anyone recommend reins for older child?
Thank you Smile

You can easily get hold of wrist straps but they may not be ideal if you have a fighter.
Not sure about bigger reigns though as never needed to use. Try Google search for special needs reigns, there are ones available right up to adult sizes.

There is a SEN board which deliberately doesn’t appear in active but you might get more help over here.

I’ve seen ‘autism harnesses’ and ‘special needs walking reins’ advertised on etsy and amazon for not much price wise. These won’t be great but you might get something you can use until you can get a better brand (most of the good brands are experiencing Lockdown related supply issues).
