Title: Long may they rein over us.
Post by: Highlander on May 17, 2015, 21:17:50 PM

I am becoming increasingly concerned by the number of parents who let their toddlers walk freely next to busy streets.  :(

When did the use of kiddies reins apparently go out of fashion.

The reins did go out of fashion, but there is a wrist thing that attaches to the toddler and then the parent.
I am the same as you, I often worry when I she children walking with parents and not holding hands etc.,
Kids have no road sense untll they are 10 years old.

I get worried when I see mums who have collected young kids from nursery or infant schools chatting away with other mums while the kids run off or scooter off in front. Sometimes quite a long way too. There'd be no chance to stop them running out or falling into the road. (Or even from being abducted)
