Toddler reins

[srisky]

Would like to buy some reins for my 17 months old who loves walking - any recommendations? Any to avoid?

Thanks

we have a little life bee backpack, bit less like a leash and very cute.

I also like the little life backpack, although the handle is not the best as you can't just slip it over your hand. It's quite large so it falls off very easily.

Thanks, both - I agree, they do look very cute!

Silly question - I was wondering if you found that their backs became hot and sweaty after toddling about for a while wearing one on warm day (granted, not many of those this summer)?

We just have the basic reins from John Lewis and they are absolutely fine. We don't use them often, but always carry them around in the change bag in case we need them. They've come in handy for that added security when we are out and about somewhere busy or near the road as well as holding hands and also as a make shift harness if we go to a cafe / restaurant that doesn't have a highchair.
