Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Lori- Two suggestions- 1) lace locks (the little plastic lace keepers) if you can find them...they can be difficult to locate, and usually any baby that can undo a double knot can remove the lace keeper 2) Lace the shoes upside down so that the laces are near the toes. This is a pain for the parent in putting on/off the shoe, but at least if he undoes the knot, odds are that you'll see the shoe untied before it actually comes off. The final solution is always: DUCT TAPE. > > Hi everyone, > Weston, 4 1/2 months, is currently in the DBB 23/7.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 This is ' favourite trick too!! I have bought socks that have a fold down section (or just buy longer socks) and fold them down over the laces. The kinda look like leg warmers ... I pull the sock right down over the laces and top knot. He hasn't been able to pull the sock up yet!! > > Hi everyone, > Weston, 4 1/2 months, is currently in the DBB 23/7.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 A great tip that was recently passed on to me by one of the members of this board is to fold the socks down over the laces ....out of sight, out of mind!! So far it is working for us!! Keri Jordan 08/19/04 - i don't want to just untie the laces, I want to eat them too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I have been double knotting Grace's laces since she was about 3 months for just this reason. The laces are of good quality so it's not hard to get them undone from the double knots. & Grace 21-07-04 RCF DBB 16 hrs > > Hi everyone, > Weston, 4 1/2 months, is currently in the DBB 23/7.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Lori, We have a little lace houdini here too! When Owen was younger, I used socks that had a little stretch (spandex knit) and when I was finished lacing up the shoes, I would pull the sock right down over the whole top of the shoe and hook it under the bottom of the shoe at the toes. This worked well for quite a while - 'out of site, out of mind'. When that method began to fail, I tried double knotting the laces...Owen managed to pull those laces out just as soon as I got them tied. What works now is triple knotted laces. If he really works at it, he can get them undone but most of the time it's too much of an effort and he gets distracted easily enough by other things. There was a period of about 2 weeks where he was constantly untying them - during that time, I did use duct-tape! Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Houdini! That cracked me up! Yes, the double knotting doesn't help a bit. I will try triple tomorrow!!
