Goldbug Baby Harness Chimp Reins, 10 May 2015

This harness has been a fantastic buy for my 16 month old son. He was not a fan of the conventional reins and I found they were not really for me as he could not move more than a few steps away from me.

The monkey is approx. 32cm long. The adjustable straps are easy to use and do not slide/move when adjusted. The monkey's tail is the rein and clips onto the money for easy removal. The tail is approx. 92cm and has a wrist loop at the end. I find the tail gives my son room to explore whilst keeping him safe and in reach. There is a pocket as advertised located on the monkey's back. I have found this isn't too useful as it's quite small and narrow. To give you a idea of size, it holds my iPhone 5 with a tiny bit of space remaining.

It goes without saying, these reins have the cute factor! I am always stopped to be told how adorable they look. I would recommend they are purchased for children who are confident on their feet. If the child does have a trip, you cannot...

I LOVE IT!, 4 July 2014

I LOVE IT!! For 6 weeks my 21month old daughter has refused to walk her siblings to school holding my hand. She has also refused to sit in the pushchair. I have been bribing her to get in - apples, favourite toy etc, but as the novelty wears off she makes a leap out of the moving pushchair! Once out she will happily walk....if I don't hold her hand, but as soon as I even make the suggestion of holding hands, she's on the floor. If I pick her up she kicks out and screams. If I try and put her in the pushchair she screams.. You see where im going with this - it has been a nightmare!! However all this has changed with the arrival of Liiionnnn - after a quick briefing session - you wear the lion, mummy holds the tail - we have it sussed! This is brilliant and has made my days so much easier and brighter - this may well be the best money I have ever spent!!! The bag itself is small - but im not really fussed. The strap is secure and she loves it - what else matters.

Very Entertaining set of Reigns, not for all though!, 21 Nov. 2012

I bought this harness at the request of my brother for his young son, who has just started to toddle.

the general comfort and lovely soft feel of the reigns when on is clear to see with my nephew, as he regularly enjoys trying to stroke the arms or head of the chimp!.

there is also a small compartment that can store a sun hat or cardigan for the little champ, which is always easy to hand, the price paid (18.00) i didn't feel was too excessive given the novelty factor on top of function.

now onto the negatives.

The only constructive criticism that i can aim at the harness is that it really isn't designed for babies that have just begun to walk/toddle, as the 'reigns' are actually the tail of the chimp. again whilst I'm all for this and it adds to the general likeability of the harness, what it doesn't do, is allow you to stop a child in the reigns from falling over, as pulling upwards on the reign/tail will only aid in making your poor child to twist...
