LittleLife...BigHit!

H was very kindly given a LittleLife toddler daysack for his second birthday by his lovely godmother.  I had seen them before and thought how cute they were but I wasn't quite sure how H would take to it!  You see, the really ingenious thing about these little bags is that they also have a removable safety rein which is attached to the middle of the bag.  I have tried other types of reins before - having assumed that I would now be able to potter happily around the shops with my beaming toddler trotting next to me, I found that instead of this, I was faced with a furious toddler who was either on strike, sitting firmly on the floor, or still swiping things off shelves with me swinging on the end of the reins!  LittleLife have created something far more intelligent!  

H seems chuffed to pieces with his new dinosaur bag; delighted that it clips on around his chest (where he can keep an eye on any buckles and fastening devices); and totally oblivious to the fact that I am on the other end!  These clever little sharks, ladybirds, fairies or giraffes (amongst many other designs) allow him the freedom he craves (no pushchairs or obsessive hand holding) whilst giving me the peace of mind that he isn't going to vanish across the next road, round the next shelf or into the next puddle! 

I hold my hands up and admit that I still haven't quite worked out how to stop him from pilfering apples, taking a tiny bite and putting them back - if anyone else knows a solution (apart from never entering a shop or simply tying his hands behind his back) then please let me know!  Oh, and the LittleLife toddler daysack is also great for putting things in!
