toddler harness/reins

[jgulia]

hi Guys
would anyone be able to recommend a toddler harness and lead for my 2.5 year old son?I am 6 months pregnant and fell flat on my face(literally) last week trying to catch up with him running down a steep drive onto a road and cannot let this happen again!

We've got a little life backpack which looks much nicer than reins IMO and can also hold a nappy and some wipes.

Second the little life backpack.

yes at 2.5 this is your best bet

I used the monkey version of this when DS was little. He loved it because it was a soft toy as well as reins.

We use the Little Life back pack here too!

Yes definitely go for the backpack if he's old enough to find it a novelty!

If you don't think he would particularly be bothered, and/or you want to use it as a harness (e.g. in pushchair/highchair) as well then I recommend the Red Kite ones. They are £4 in the baby event at Asda and the bits that attach them to highchairs etc are really flexible and fit everything.

I've tried the little life backpack and he doesn't like it-I think the rein is a bit too short but I may just try it again with bribes-thankyou for all your advice
