The Original Freedom Belt Review & Giveaway
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
I know you are probably thinking to yourself that I need to use a belt. Well I have attempted to use many different styles of belts with his little adjustable waist pants on the smallest setting and nothing seems to work, not to mention that a toddler in a belt is no picnic. He likes to go potty by himself and that just isn't possible with a belt since they are hard to unfasten.
A couple of weeks ago thanks to Mom Made That I was introduced to The Original Freedom Belt, by TYG Designs. I will admit that I had my doubts about this belt the same as with all the others we have tried, but I was completely wrong in my assumption. These belts are absolutely wonderful.
First off it came packaged super nice. My son actually thought he was getting an actual present to open. Since this year was the first Christmas that he remembered, he thought it was a Christmas gift. Once he finally got it unwrapped it only took a second to get these adorable little belts adjusted to fit him correctly which is fantastic, not to mention they are super cute and stylish! I gave him a few short lesson on how to buckle and unbuckle this belt and believe it or not, my two year old was able to do it without any problems at all. His pants now fit perfectly (or I should say the best they ever have) and he can still feel independent by going potty by himself. Here is a little picture showing how wonderfully this belt fits him.
Here are just a few of the features that really stand out to me based on what we have disliked about other belts. The Original Freedom Belt:
- is an elastic belt that will fit your child from toddler up to pre-teen 27″ waist. (great price and can grow with my son!)
- The elastic band means toddlers don’t have to unbuckle the belt in order to pull their pants up/down (Great because he can still feel independent)
- Unlike heavy magnetic buckles that may become unclasped, or Velcro closures that get “fuzzied”, the Original Freedom Belt’s buckle is light & attractive with vintage charm. (This really is super easy to fasten and unfasten)
- The buckle lays flat, so no “buckle bulge” under shirts
- The rounded buckle has no sharp edges or pieces to poke children in the belly. (This is a major issue that my son has complained about in the past. He always says his other belts poke in his belly and has yet to say that about this belt)
WIN,WIN,WIN
