I was just wondering what people's thoughts were on reins and wrist cuffs for lo's.
Do other people use these or is it just me?
I sometimes have 2 lo's 21 months and 22 months who can both walk well and I feel bad keeping them strapped into a buggy when I know that walking would do them good, but i get sick of running in opposite directions and around the school play area trying to rein them in! I feel a bit like a sheep dog trying to get the herd through a gate sometimes!!!
So I recently got 2 sets of reins that can also be taken apart and used as wrist cuffs. I have used them both ways and don't feel that i have much 'control' of the lo's when the have the wrist cuff on, for example when lo falls over in reins i can help him up, but when lo fell in the wrist cuff he only had one hand to put down as I had hold of the other one!
I also get some very funny looks from other parents when I use either, it's like i've put the lo's in some sort of tourture device!!!
