We also use reins for DGS, the Belgians were horrified, 'why is the baby on a leash' then his Godfather spent the morning chasing him around a flea market and was seen rummaging in the baby bag for them and now, never takes him anywhere without them, DGS knows as soon as he sees them that he is going somewhere 'exciting', French SIL also loves them. I like them for walking him up and down stairs as I know if he takes off too fast I can catch him. Only place we could buy them in Belguim was Mothercare.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
