Baby safety reins - why so unfashionable?

Babysaver towers is a little confused as to the current mood against baby safety reins.

The accepted mood of mother and baby forums (fora?) at the moment seems to be that baby reins are 'demeaning' to both mother and child, implying that there is some correlation to using reins as you would a lead with a dog.


We know we're human (apart from after a night of sheer sleep deprivation) and the children know they're human (most of the time)  - so what's the problem?

Upon reading an article in the Times, the journalist explores a few reasons why she is uneasy with safety reins, and in part puts it down to wanting to be her daughter's friend and not fetter her, and being 'a bit snobby' about them.

At Babysaver towers, we'd love to know why you would feel snobby about such things - after all, they're just designed to help keep your child safe, aren't they?

It's nothing to do with them costing a fiver, is it?
