Mum discovers Poundland device that will stop your child from throwing toys out the pram

A mum has discovered a simple device from Poundland that she says will stop your child from throwing toys out the pram.

The mum says the £1 child wrist strap from the bargain chain will solve the problem of mischievous youngsters throwing cups, bottle and toys out he pram.

Posting on the Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas Facebook page, she said: "After seeing parents saying about kids throwing stuff out of their buggy and losing items or getting wet and ruined in the current weather I was surprised more people didn't know about or use this hack.

"So wanted to share it here. By using a poundland child's wrist strap attached to the buggy and the other end attached to the item it saves stuff from getting dropped or lost. Hope this helps some people and save a lot of loved toys being lost forever."

The post was well received by fellow parents, some calling it 'genius' and 'a God-send'.

One said: "Wish I'd thought of it when my son was younger x genius."

Another said: "You can buy one from NUBY, they have silicone on the inside so it’s doesn’t slide out."

"This is such a good idea This is a life saver," added another.

"Never thought of using a wrist strap instead I used a muzzy. Tied one end to her straps and the other end to what ever she had with her in the buggy."

Another said it can also be used so you don't lose a child!

She said: "Works too if you have a toddler and a baby.I had the baby in the buggy and my toddler walking strapped to the buggy."

While another mum had a more simplistic approach, adding: "I used to write our phone number on the kids favourite toys & blankets.We got a few things back that way."
