Pin locking backs

[Mama2girlz]

My two daughters ( 8 & 4) will be trading pins while at WDW in October. They have a few pins they love already and do not want to trade. I would like to get locking backs for these pins so they don't accidentally trade them or lose them.
Which do you recommend? And where is it best to buy them? (In parks?)
TIA

I purchased mine of ebay.

The reason I choose to buy more secure backs is the Mickey heads falling off.

They aren't very secure!

Not sure if I remember seeing the locking backs sold in the parks anymore. I remember that is what was sold with pins way back when they first stated. I would imagine the rubber Mickey heads are cheaper to produce. Keep the manufacturing cost down and the pin selling cost up

I would presume ebay might be a great place to start.

OK... I just did a search, and came across a product I didn't even know existed. Here are two links:

When I read your question, I was thinking back to the old style where you squeezed the two tabs to release the pin. These new ones come with Allen keys. Too funny!
