Trunki ToddlePak - Fuss Free Baby Walking Reins and Toddler Safety Harness – Betsy Bear (Pink)

The ToddlePak is made from thick canvas which forms a bib like harness for your child. This is fully breathable so you won't have to worry about your child getting too warm while wearing it. You place their arms and head into it and then tighten it up at the rear. I must confess that I was a bit confused as to how I was going to make the ToddlePak fasten on my child's back when I first opened it but, with an 'aaaaah' it all became clear and I found myself grinning at the very clever design. I was expecting buckles and slides to adjust the fit but, instead, it works with simple velcro. At the rear of the ToddlePak you lift up the canvas to find two velcro straps on the waist, one on each side, which can be lifted and moved to ensure a comfortable fit. You can also adjust at the back to make sure the straps sit properly. This makes it so simple to do and means that you can adjust the fit dependent on what your child is wearing quite easily. It's super clever and a typical design feature of those clever people at Trunki. I find it easiest to pop the ToddlePak on my child and adjust it rather than trying to do it in advance. The ToddlePak fastens with a really secure plastic mechanism. Here is the only issue with the ToddlePak, in that the release buttons for the back buckle are exactly where you automatically place your hands to fasten it. That's only a small problem though and you quickly learn to hold it in a different way to close the buckle. The included rein can be used in two ways - as a training rein for early walkers which is shorter and allows the adult to help with balance if needed, and then as a leading rein for more able walkers. This sees two leads join in to one and the adult hold it by a convenient handle. We haven't tried the training rein on our child as she walks well but I think it would be very effective for younger children who need a little extra help from their adult. I think that the Trunki ToddlePak is an excellent design and one that has changed my opinion on toddler reins. Highly recommended.

From the moment I unpacked the Trunki ToddlePak, I knew it was going to be a hit with both me and my little explorer. The bright colors and fun design immediately caught my toddler’s attention, making it less of a battle to get them to wear it. The adjustable straps are a godsend, fitting snugly yet comfortably around my child’s torso, giving them the freedom to walk and explore without any discomfort. The reins are just the right length to allow independence but still keep them close, especially in crowded places. What I appreciate most is the dual functionality. It serves as a walking rein when we’re out and about, and back at home, it doubles as a safety harness for those moments when you need an extra set of hands to keep your toddler safe. The fuss-free aspect is not an exaggeration. It’s straightforward to put on and take off, which is essential when you’re dealing with an impatient toddler. Plus, it’s easy to clean, a must-have for any toddler gear. In terms of improvements, a small pocket for a toy or snack would make this already excellent product even better.

Very sturdy - much more than your usual safety reins and I think this is due to the chest support. These reins help to stop my daughter from going too far without loosing her balance giving her a great sense of freedom and independence. Fantastic value for money would really recommend for all toddler parents!

Pros I really like the range of animal characters and colours to choose from instead of having just male or female stereotypical blue and pink. They are cute and I'm sure when my daughter is old enough to understand (she's currently 10 months) she'll enjoy the red fox I chose. The harness feels really well made and durable and I hope may even last for if we have another child. My daughter appears comfortable even when she's had a stumble and is dangling for a few moments until she gets back on her feet. The harness is easy to put on and take off and seems simple to adjust when she gets bigger. Cons My daughter is just starting out walking so I hoped the rein would fit onto the harness in such a way that she didn't look uncomfortable if she had a stumble, I know I previously said it doesn't seem to bother her but it may bother other babies, and I know there are other harnesses out there which look better designed for training and I reckon Trunki could maybe make slight adjustments maybe for this. Finally, unless I am missing something, you can't adjust the rein from a short training rein to a longer one which is just used to prevent a confident walker from running off and I think this a little odd. when the harness has been pretty well thought through. There's just a black elastic strap to tie around the rein to shorten it, which soon comes loose. If the above issue had not been the case I would have given the item 5 starts.

Great product however couldn’t understand how it worked initially. The instructions aren’t great so we ended up watching a video to show the setup. Really good value for money, looks great and our little girl loves it. The straps are removable which we love ad we tend to put this on in the buggy making it easier to use when she wants out to walk.

We bought these reins for the baby in our family who is just learning to walk (and all the adults were getting backache from bending over to hold her hands). We liked the look of the harnesses in bright colours and fun animal faces and we chose the pink bear. At first we were going to send the reins back because 2 adults struggled for about an hour to open the clasp (fortunately when the reins were NOT being worn by our baby). However we persevered and finally worked out the technique. Rather than pressing the button down you need to put more sideways pressure on the clasp button and if you have strong nails can use your fingernail in the groove to help loosen the clasp. After a few times of using them we can now open the clasp easily and it has loosened a bit - although still feels very secure from a safety point of view. But best of all our baby LOVES them. She will pick them up and lift her arms to put them on as she enjoys wearing them and the extra freedom it gives her as she goes exploring around the house - two hands free to pick up and carry things. So pleased we did not give up too soon as these are making our life much easier.

This is a great harness! It's easy to fit and take on/off. Well, apart from the clasp, which I find really difficult to open. There must be a knack to it that I haven't mastered yet. But at least I know it's not going to come undone by mistake! It seems comfortable, my little one happily zooms around wearing it and flings herself about with careless abandon. It's been thoroughly tested and is doing its job really well! She also likes the lion design. For context my little one is 11 months and relatively new to walking but raring to go! This harness has allowed me to make sure she doesn't fall or bump into anything without constantly being bent over. I like the fact that it'll last to when she is a more confident walker and I want to make sure she doesn't wander off. We both love this harness and would definitely recommend it.

Have bought 2 (lost the first). Cute animals (had red & yellow). The clips of the leash do unclip from the harness fairly frequently by themselves so have to be careful. Adjustable size and good quality

We got a lot of use from this. Good quality

the clip at the back is ssometimes hard to unclip for my hands personally . i Love the high vvis stripss and the way it fits and adjusts. my daughter cant see the lead and so doesnt even notice she is walking guided and has really opened up the freedom when i go out and not fight a toddler in a pram and keep us both happy exploring and walking together safely.

Great for very active toddlers who would just dash everywhere in a split second. The harness are comfortable and it gives them that feeling of freedom. My kid loves it cause it allows him to explore the area “on his own”. It gives me a peace of mind despite the dirty looks from others. My child’s safety is important. Great for use at parks and zoos.

Me encanta. Es comodisimo de usar y me ayuda muchisimo con mi peque de 18 meses que es muy activo. Por ejemplo puedo llevar el carro con una mano y al peque con la otra mientras camino. Tiene dos puntos de agarre con lo que la presion en el pecho del peque se distribuye mejor en caso de caida y es acolchadito por lo que es mas comodo para el peque. Mi hijo tiene marcas en la axila algunas veces pero porque le parece divertido tirarse hacia delante. Lo mas importante para mi es que se abrocha detras, por lo que el peque no puede desabrocharlo, el broche no se le queda marcado ni le hace danho en caso de caida y yo puedo vigilar que esta cortectamente cerrado desde atras. Es ajustable al contorno y los hombros. Lo utilizo desde hace unas semanas y lo recomiendo

Quand vous retenez l'enfant (parce qu'il trébuche ou qu'il veut se sauver), vous le retenez par le plastron entier, donc pas de risque de blessure comme sur les harnais où il n'y a que des sangles. Et puis comme c'est joli, l'enfant est content de le mettre. Très bonne qualité, s'attache facilement et solidement. Très utile d'avoir 2 points d'attache pour mieux retenir l'enfant quand il tombe.
