Advantages: Cheap, very portable

Disadvantages: Strangers worry that you'll lose your keys

My baby is 10 months old, and his favourite toy is my keys. This would be ok, except that sometimes I need to use them - to drive the car, that sort of thing. Also, they have an electronic door-opener on them and I was worried about all the drool going into it!

I tried giving him the spare keys for a while but he tends to lob things over the side of the pram so I was worried about losing them.

Then I had a brainwave, and lots of friends have been impressed so I am posting it on here! I went to the local key-cutters and asked for some key blanks, which they very kindly gave me.

I bought a key ring with a leather fob, to put them on. I chose leather because it's another material that babies love chewing on, and they don't get very often, like metal too I suppose. Its all plastic or wood if you're a baby, isn't it?

Anyway, my baby now has his own set of keys with a leather keyring, and he is very happy with them!

Summary: Just something I thought someone might like to try
