Boomereins

[Marijn]

Are Boomereins any good? Are they safe? Can anyone who has used them let me know what you think of them, thanks very much

What are Boomereins?

Aaaah, that's so sweet.

Wouldn't it cause the child (who is unsteady on their feet) to fall over when you retracted it?

[society]

Hey 4Get! Thanks! How are you and the baby doing?

[Marijn]

I don't know. I don't know how fast/slow it retracts. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has used one.

If you want a set of reins with a strap that is a decent length you could try these - http://www.twinsuk.co.uk/products/100226/Twin-Reins/

They are not cheap (you could maybe split the set with someone else) but they are brilliant. The straps as long enough that I didn't have one child dangling whilst I tried to get the other in the car. They also have the waist strap thing but I never used it just seemed so unfriendly.

Thanks Sherrardk. I guess I like the look of the Boomereins because of the equality.

How do you mean, equality?

Can't help with the product, but couldn't help but "awww" a bit when the little lad hugged her as she was putting the waist thingy on him.
