child safety

[NULAH]

I was in Poundland today and they are selling a 2 pack of security wrist straps. These attach to the childs wrist at one end and to your wrist at the other. They are brightly coloured and pretty strong. I thought it was just the thing to keep my DS and DD close by on our next trip.

A very good idea, thanks for sharing!

Excellent idea, even now I'm constantly checking on where mine are and the time we all resorted to yellow ponchos, I was a nervous wreck trying to keep track of them.

they are great!!! i have straps for ash that go around her body. i dont use them here but were great for dlrp

Can I just put out a cautionary shout to make sure that these straps are not used going on lifts, through turnstyles at rides. The consequences of them getting caught makes these somewhat dangerous

And the locals may laugh at you!
When I was in Windsor a few years ago, these 2 French tourists near me stared in amazement as a mother went by with her child on reins. They turned and asked me "is this normal here?" I explained they were used quite often. They roared with laughter and said "comme un chien". They are obviously not popular in France.

i can see how they would be funny if they are not used often lol. before i had ash i thought they were hilarious and vowed to never use them that didnt last long lol
