*THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED!*


If you have a six month old to 2 year old, you'll know that one of their favourite games is "watch mummy/daddy play fetch!" Basically it involves your little darling throwing or dropping his/her sippy cup/teething rings/toy and watching you pick it up and bring it back. Really, this little game can keep your little tyke amused for hours! It usually only takes us parents a little less time to figure out we don't like this game as much as they do....particularly when they've dropped or thrown a toy or bottle of which we're unaware.

Simply on Board (a Canadian Company) makes great toy straps that may prevent your little ones from playing this game but save both your back and your sippy cups, Sophie the Giraffes, and teething rings from being left stranded on the sidewalk (if you've ever had to retrace your steps to find a beloved toy, you'll really appreciate these straps).

The toy straps are completely machine washable and has Velcro on both ends so it is very easy to use (and can attach to pretty much anything); attach one end to your stroller, car seat or baby carrier and the other end to the toy. The Velcro is sturdy enough so that babies won't be able to detach it from their toy but soft enough making them completely safe. There are two straps in a package one is a solid colour (Black, Green, Blue and Pink) and the other polka-dotted. We sell them both in our stores and online.
