My friend used a stretchy wrist strap thing. Her daughter got the option of freedom at first but with any running got strapped to the pram (or mums wrist) for the rest of the walk. She was super consistent and used a lot of education about why it is so dangerous and her girl is pretty good now. ]]> Sat, 16 Jun 2012 16:12:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802628&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802628 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802614&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802614 Author: Mum2ET

I do the same as Tishy. Whenever we go to a shop/supermarket etc....I ask him if he is going to go in the buggy or walk and hold Mummy's hand. surprise, surprise he always chooses the hand option. He then has to hold onto my hand, unless I tell him its OK. If he struggles/makes a fuss etc I give him 1 warning and then if he continues I carry him. Normally after a couple of mins he is asking to walk and hold my hand. He now knows that he HAS to hand my hand near a road/carpark/driveway and very rarely stuggles (and he is VERY active little boy who loves to run). ]]> Sat, 16 Jun 2012 13:11:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802614&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802614 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802581&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802581 Author: tishy

At that age if my girls wouldn't hold my hand then I would pick them up (under my arm ). They cottoned on pretty quickly that holding my hand was a lot more fun. ]]> Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:22:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802581&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802581 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802335&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802335 Author: caliandjack

DD will wander a lot further from me than I'm comfortable with I've ordered a pair of reins for her will see how they go.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2012 13:10:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802335&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802335 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802331&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802331 Author: Bizzy

the problem with playing chase is they never know when its not a game! I had a runner. I used to have to hold his hand all the time. Once i attached him to the pushchair with his belt (he had been very bad and i was paying a bill at the counter) and he tried to run away but the pushchair went over with his little brother in it! Eeeek! He liked the wrist strap i got him too.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2012 12:54:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802331&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802331 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802259&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802259 Author: Hadlam

We have monkey reigns from kmart too :)

Took DS a little bit to get used to them, but once he did thought he was pretty special with them on.

We just made sure we still played chase when it was appropriate like at the playground etc.]]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:01:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802259&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802259 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802208&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802208 Author: rachaels

We have reins, they do work wonders. Only thing is he never remembers he is wearing them, so when he gets to the end of his tether as it were, he tends to go HOIK and fall over.

We got ours from Kmart, it was $25, and has a monkey attached - he LOVES wearing his monkey, because it means he doesn't have to be in the stroller ]]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:53:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802208&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802208 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802190&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802190 Author: caliandjack

getting run over?
DD loves to explore and run everywhere her favourite game is when she runs and I chase her.
Today she ran out on to the road. I nearly had heart failure.

Do reins really work?
She likes pushing the stroller more than being in it.]]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:42:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42201&PID=5802190&title=how-to-stop-a-runner#5802190
