Magic bands and belt bits for kids

[brightspark]

Hi,
We have seen a recommendation to get belt bits for our magic bands. They look a good idea but I don't know what size to get for my 6year old. Are the magic bands for children different to the adult ones? At what age do you get bigger magic bands if they come in different sizes? Should I buy bit bands junior for my 6year old?

Advice is to get the belt bits after the magic bands arrive, but we won't get our bands until we check in as we are in the UK, so that will be a bit late

Thanks for the help

Helen

The MB are initially all one size but the black portion can be peeled off to make it child size (for what it's worth, I took the black off of mine as it was too big otherwise). You can see a picture tutorial here: http://www.wdwhints.com/2013/10/magic-band-hint-smaller-band-for.html. I would go with the junior bit bands.

I just bought a family pack of bitbelts and got a couple Jr. Size and the rest adult ones. My 6yo is the only one who didn't keep the band full size, and the bit belt Jr. Fits hers perfect. They are wonderful, I recommend them totally, they stretch to fit anyplace on the band (since the band is different widths as it goes down). These magic bands are not getting lost or falling off of us for sure just a hint too, he always sends an extra of each size that you order.

Thanks so much. The pic link was really helpful. I am going to order a family pack so we can have fun with them, and we will be going again so they will get plenty of use

We are heading to the World in January and I never thought of losing our MB till reading the threads. $6 seems like a lot of money for a bitband I am planning on trying the loom bands but since I live in Canada we won't get ours mailed in advance so no trial runs. If anyone has a chance to use them before us please post so the rest of us can get a heads up. If no replies I will certainly be posting our results.
