An alternative to "buggy weights"

I have a set of these weights and one of the weights has started to rip.
Where the velcro meets the other bit of velcro its started to pull the fabric and rip it..mainly due to the weight of the buggyweight iykwim and how it sits on the pram leg.

Have tried to contact buggyweights.com BUT it links me to cheeky rascals and im not sure if they are the same as buggyweights or just a main supplier..?!

So instead im looking for another set BUT reluctant to spend another £15 or so for the same thing to possibly happen..

So...........anyone know of an alternative.? Any other similar product out there.? I have seem tip me not but tbh think they are possibly the same company.? .

TIA

I bought wrist weights from argos, less than £5 and they do the job IMO

can I just ask why you need them? I have carried many bags of shopping on oushchairs over the years and neer had a problem with tipping when the baby is in the pushchair

I've had my buggy tip even with a very heavy toddler in it! He likes to lean back

good suggestions..!! will look at wrist weights now...

tommy,need them to stop the pram tipping back . I have had it happen on occasions (when I shop.....I SHOP ) and esp when at the car, take baby out of pram............the pram tips back...Yeah yeah, remove the bags first..to easy .! My brain doesn't think that far ahead.!!!
