Beat the buggy black market with a LockIt

Meet the LockIt from TrendyKid - an easy way to stop thieves strolling off with your buggy

LockIt
Small but powerful

As pushchairs become cooler, more hi-tech and expensive, there’s a growing trend for thieves to target busy mums, making off with their most important baby product. In fact, alarmingly, buggy thefts have doubled in the past year!

It’s the celeb faves such as Bugaboo and Maclaren that are the most popular with buggy thieves, but even basic buggies are now worth a pretty penny so we thought this nifty gadget would come in handy.

To keep your Maclaren under wraps, TrendyKid have come up with this cool idea. The LockIt is a pocket-sized lock that stretches around awkward railings and any shaped buggy to keep your pushchair safe while you’re not using it.

Using a metal coil that retracts into the plastic case like a tape measure, you can keep your LockIt in your pocket or handbag ready for action. And because of the thin wire, you can still fold or change seats without the lock getting in the way. Better than lugging around a bicycle lock, eh? £9.99 from TrendyKid.

Wow! That is sooo cool. Of course Maclarens can surely use such locks. Does anyone know if they make them for these Silver Cross models?
