As you'd expect from a brand like Trunki, child-friendly design is at the heart of these reins and they come in a whole host of colourful animal designs, including Leeroy the Lion, Betsy the Bear, Dudley the Dinosaur and Ollie the Owl. As toddlers gain their independence, they will love taking their own treasures with them in one of our fun toddler backpacks. Others can feel that it is restricting for their child to wear reins, or worry they may be uncomfortable. We love making our backpacks as exciting as we possibly can for your little one and our range of animals do just that! They're designed to take a child from training to toddling, with convertible straps that make them suitable for training from as young as 6 months.

The simple but well thought-out design includes multiple adjustment points and clips, and the reins are fastened on at either side (compared to single point fastenings on some other designs) which allows for maximum control for parents and comfort for kids.Parent tester Claire uses the lion version with her toddler (pictured above) and said, "I love how secure they are and the shorter handle is great for more control when needed, for example when they're paddling in the sea. With so many animals to choose from, your little one will certainly find an animal that they love taking out with them. With our bright and colourful toddler backpack designs, your little one will enjoy the freedom - and you will enjoy knowing they are never far from your reach. It's just the right size for your toddler to feel independent but not be able to weigh the backpack compartment down.

Each has its purpose but you'll probably want a more secure harness for a younger child, while a backpack or wrist strap is more suited to confident toddlers or older children. Training reins, designed for the early walking stages, can help minimise falls and accidents, but they could also interfere with your child's balance and muscle development if they come to rely on them.

Featuring all the gang in a big Duggee hug, the combo of rucksack and safety harness features a safety clip on the front, a top handle, and detachable reins. Pull the zip and you’ll find lots of room inside this Ladybird toddler backpack to hide all the toys you need for a day out and take them on a little adventure. Our reins are quick and easy to put on, they fasten at the back for hassle-free fitting even with impatient children. Erika loves the fact that the reins can be unclipped so the backpack can be used on its own when their older too.
