I allowed Eva to pick the belts she wanted to have from the range on their website, toddler girl belts . She of course loved doing this herself as she is her mother's daughter and loves nothing more than a spot of shopping (providing it's for her). She chose a pink one with a heart motif and a black one. All I then had to do was measure her waist and pick the size that suited her best. The sizes are offered in inches rather than age which is perfect for little ones.
When they arrived Eva loved them. They are quite plain looking but the motifs on them give them a more 'pretty' look. They are easy to use which make them so suitable for toddlers. I quickly taught Eva how to thread the belts through her jeans and then she easily learnt how to tighten it herself. The velcro feature is what makes the belt so special. Even the smallest of hands will be able to use them.
I think the belts are great for a number of reasons. Firstly, the velcro allows them to be suitable for your toddler to use themselves without your help. This is great especially for when they need to go to the toilet. We all know how children tend to leave a trip to the toilet until the last minute, so the fact that the belt can be quickly undone in these situations is wonderful. It allows them to still remain independent and in control.
Secondly, the velcro is a great safety feature. I won't bang on about how dangerous normal belts can be if used in the wrong areas. At least with velcro you know you can undo and loosen them in an instant.
Thirdly, it's allowed Eva to wear many of her jeans and trousers again. I had so many pairs that she couldn't wear cause they were always falling down. It's also allowed me to buy her things from shops that she never normally fits into. It's great to see her in something other than leggings.
Lastly, they are such great value for money. They are only £6 each. This may seem more than one's you can get in a shop but at least you know these one's are safe and easy to use.
Overall, we are both very happy with the belts and would recommend them to anyone with small children.
Do you get the same problem with your child's waist size and finding belts to fit?
My son has these belts, they are much easier for school than traditional belts!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I love the idea of velcro, makes them so much safer and easier. So pretty too.
ReplyDeleteWe have always struggled with belts, but these do look easy to fasten,
ReplyDeleteThese sound great, I will have to remember them for when Lucas is older x
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! We have a couple of these belts and they are great. My two year old can undo it herself too which helps with potty training.
ReplyDeleteI wish something like this existed when my daughter was younger, I struggled so much trying to find a belt to fit her tiny waist.
ReplyDeleteThese look really great, I love the designs too. I am going to be looking in to these when my daughter starts potty training.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact it is velcro and not a buckle fastener x
ReplyDeleteThese are such a great idea - Pickle is a stocky little thing - but my older son could have really done with one of these. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI struggle keeping Sebby's trousers up - off to get a couple of these
