Stopping some light-fingered hoodie from nicking your expensive baby buggy seems extra important in our current riot-rocked times. Especially when you consider that Halifax Home Insurance reported that up to 35,000 buggies were stolen last year, double the number taken in 2009.

My Buggy Buddy Lock could be a useful addition to the parental security kit. A neat, strong metal loop that attaches your buggy to any stationary object like a fence, railing or post.

The brainchild of two former policemen, it can only be opened by a unique combination code, has a foam protector to stop it marking your buggy, but is compact enough to fit into any manbag, or changing bag pocket. Looks good too!

It only costs £8.95 – not a bad investment when you consider that buggies cost anything up to £1,000 these days.
