Little life one much nicer imo. I think urchin do them we got our from the blooming marvellous shop in bluewater and john lewis sell them

thanks for the tips. the urchin one does look very nice.

We got a bush baby backpack and it's really comfy even though now DS is nearly 2 and weighs 13kg.

Little Trekkers do the little life one.. £9.99 link I've always founf them to be reliable

mine is made by lindam like this

lummox at not allowed out until he's 5.
I was walking DS1 and his little friend to their new school for the afternoon a few weeks ago and I told then that if they ran off like that in September I would put them both in wrist straps....

I have a little life one, ds loves it. V.well made, little strap that fastens across the chest is good. But I don't tend to use it much as a reins replacement - if you pull on it, the pulling point is right on their neck so it just unbalances them whereas reins it's more the middle of the back iyswim.

thanks for all the replies. stiglet - that's link is cheaper than the others i've seen.

tommy - aah, i pine for the time ds is able to understand threats .

shazronnie, the lindam one looks nice. and it seems to have an extra handle which is good, but i have a feeling ds will not think it looks boyish enough.

accqueen - useful tip that, as ds is only 14 months so still a bit unsteady on his pins. maybe we are better of with reins and have the backpack as stage 2.

What a fab idea! Have just bought a littlelife one on Ebay - £10.99 + £1.50 postage. Well pleased and I know DD will love it!

Use any backpack with a wrist strap attached.

LOL at stage 2 of restraining your child DS 2.8 now so now problems unbalancing him - this has reminded me to look out the wrist strap again & attach it to the backpack!
