[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up in an east coast big city and everyone did this when I was little. The little plastic case held the shoelaces so a toddler's shoes would not come untied. My mom gave me a set and I used them with my first child for a while, but they were more trouble than they were worth and very few people were using them by then. Oh, and they only really worked on the white toddler shoes with the thin laces. They didn’t work with any thicker laces like on sneakers. I was little in the 60s and my kids were born in the early 90s. [/quote] Same. I didn’t have them, but I remember seeing them quite a lot in the 70’s in DC and other East Coast cities. I stopped seeing them when babies and toddlers stopped wearing the white high top shoes. I’ve seen them more recently with infants — who get a kick out of hearing the bells when they kick their feet.
