Lindam Harness and Reins - WARNING, RANT!!!

[Marleysgirl]

I've got the Asda ones, they're fine, but I have to have them on the tightest setting (Andrew is only the size of a 1yo despite being 2yo). Anybody fancy selling me their tiny Lindam ones?

These are good and we've also got Boots own which fit fine too.

At least you will get the use/wear out of them! Honestly I think even the smallest child wouldn't fit in them!

I was looking at those exact ones! Are they a good fit then? Plenty of big enough and get plenty of wear out of them???

we have a pair of boots own ones, love them! plenty of growing space, even though she's not far off being fine without them- we only use them if we're going somewhere crowded now.

I have to rate Boots too - i got some awful ones from Toys R Us so the Boots one are a joy!

Think I might have to look into the Boots ones too, as a lot of people have all had very good things to say about them

We have the Mothercare ones too, they are perfect!

I have these rains and have had no problem what so ever, they have been brilliant. My Lo is 2 and a half so we dont use them loads but theres still plenty of room in them even with a thick coat on. I hope you manage to get a refund

Eta- my Lo is very small for his age but as i said even with a big thick coat on theres plenty of room

I wonder if Lindham have been informed of this bad batch problem as it seems to be? Looks like you have been one of the lucky ones with the reins!

More and more people are suggesting the LittleLife backpacks, I think I might just go with one myself. But I'm not sure if Drake would keep it on. :/

It does have a clip at the front to secure it so they cant just wriggle out of it x

We have a little life back pack too- it's a bee and Helen loves it. I would definitely recommend

How long had your Lo's been walking for before you used reins? x

Thats a good thing then. It also seems like the majority like wearing them anyway. Did your LO try and look and pull it off when you first put it one?

Honestly he's only been walking about 1month and his preferred method is still crawling as its faster for him! Would you wait a bit longer? I mean I haven't used reins with him yet or anything, but I would like to try and be a bit prepared and get him used to them indoors?

My LO takes absolutly no notice when i put it on her, infact the first time i put it on her as soon as it was clipped on she completly forgot it was there, i dont think she even notices it half the time lol x

My Lo has also been walking for about the same time. But he has started to walk around the house now more than crawl, but my concern is that he doesnt just stand up on his own, he has to use something for support.

But i want to get some rains to so we can go to the park and let him have abit of a roam where its soft so if he falls over its not so hard.

Yeah Drake walks around the house a lot more now, unaided and his balance and confidence is getting lots better. Is your LO mainly still cruising then? And trying to go from all the different furniture unaided? Thats a good idea at the park, you mean on the grass like? As sand might make it a bit more difficult???? How old is your LO?

No he now walks pretty confidently around the house, hes just not learnt to get himself up to standing without holding onto something.
Yeh was thinking of a little run round on the grass, and we have a park near us with soft ground so if he does tumble its not so hard.
Think im going to get some rains later today and maybe have a go with them tomorrow, i just dont know what type to get!!!

Ohh and my son is 14 n half months x

I got Rowan's reins from Morrison's - they are their own brand, ever so cheap - and they also said they were good up to 4 years old. This isn't true, as Rowan isn't yet three and I've let them out as far as they will go when she's got a winter coat on, but they are a good deal better than these Lindam ones seem to be, and they'll last as long as she needs them.
