Shoes that toddler can't remove?

[cookiemonster80]

Dd2 is 18 months and obsessed with taking off her shoes in the car. She can take off anything!! Is there a toddler proof shoe that works??

We've had good luck with the See Kai Run shoes that have the velcro strap that loops completely over the foot, and then back on itself. 16-mo-old DD has a pair sort of like these (http://www.zappos.com/see-kai-run-kids-emily-infant-toddler-hot-pink) right now, and can't get them all the way off herself (she can undo the velcro but hasn't been able to manipulate the strap enough to loosen it and take the shoe off). I know we've bought a pair of Stride Rite water sandals that have the same kind of strap, although I think the straps on those were more flexible and the shoes were therefore easier to get off.

Yep- we have those :). She's been able to undo them for months

Do you by chance live in a snowy northern climate? If so I'd just accept it and think of her doing you a favor since you would probably want to remove her slushy, salty shoes anyway to protect your car upholstery.

If you find some, please let me know! My 19 month old has never taken a car ride where her shoes didn't come off in the first five minutes! Sometimes I take them off myself when we get in the car just so I don't have to hear the clunk, clunk and go fishing for them on arrival!

I find Keen sneakers more difficult to get on & off than SKR or L&L. They are stiffer and don't open as wide or as easily.

18 month old DS can't get these off.

I would just accept it but I am ok with no shoes and socks especially in the car. I take DD's shoes and socks off as soon as we get in the car so she is not throwing them of getting upset if she can't get them off. In the morning, I don't put shoes or socks on until the school parking lot.

No solution here. We keep a pair of lined crocs in the car do if we have to get out we have something quick to put on his feet.

Those are like unicorns in our house. I think it would have to involve duct tape...and a padlock...and steel.

:yeahthat:

DS has taken his shoes off for as long as I can remember. When he's bored or in a sign of protest....I have had to double back on walks, revisit stores in the mall, etc.

I keep shoes and socks in my bag and don't bother putting them on until we reach our destination. Otherwise my 15 month old removes them and hurls them to the far corners of the vehicle.

DD2 hates shoes and socks (although she has just started wearing socks to bed because she saw me do it and I told her my feet were cold) so there have been times where she has taken her shoes off in the car and not wanted to put them back on when we have gotten to the store that I have put her in the shopping cart without shoes on (she is still small enough to fit in the cart seat) but that has only worked during the warmer months (which here is about 200 days a year, if not a little bit more), but I seriously don't care and it is easier than running around the store looking for her dropped shoes or socks. I am like that too with her in the stroller, but if she wants to get out she has to put shoes on unless we are at the beach. She is getting better about not taking her shoes off at the mall though, but a year ago when she was 2/1/2 I had no problem keeping her confined to her stroller at the mall if she had taken her shoes off. If I really needed something I probably then could have gotten away with 18-24 mos. Robeez because she has small feet, but it never came that and I never got weird looks for having a kid in a stroller without shoes or socks on.

Yes!! we had this same problem with DD at that age. it was especially problem at daycare. we bought the rather old-school looking "baby" shoe from Stride Rite that had LACES all the way up. thankfully they came in sizes big enough to fit DD's large feet. she could not remove them (and DD is a little houdini). let me see if i can find a link.

eta: here are the ones we have. the laces are key. my dd can take off anythign with velcro.

DC takes off all shoes too - although I've actually come not to mind it. At least the car stays clean without shoes on lol

T-strap shoes with a buckle? Not many companies make them, but I think Aster does.
