Very impressed.  Well-made and excellent quality. As a parent of a child who doesn’t have a bottom to hold up his trousers this is absolutely perfect.  I usually opt for trousers that have an adjustable waist band or are elasticated with drawstring to tie rather than having to use a belt but the design of this belt is so simply but absolutely perfect and not bulky. These are so simple to use and my son was able to unclip and reclip with ease. I usually go for clothing that does not need to use a belt but these were so easy to use. Once in place they were secure. The material is super soft and the clip not bulky so makes it comfortable to wear. Ideal to use for many years as the scope of adjustment is perfect.  We have used these 5 times or more so far. Mainly used on jeans but on his return to school I will definitely look to getting another one he can wear with school trousers. So easy to just fling in the washing machine.  (tried and tested and came out exactly as it went in!). I loved the fact you can design the belt to suit your needs and that it is made from soft material so comfortable to wear. My son liked the colour (green camouflage with green buckle and green snaps). Excellent quality. Belts can be very generic and bulky but you can choose a unique belt to your making and which is of excellent quality. Extremely good value as it grows with your child. I have never come across another belt like this.  It is easy for the child to use and there is no faffing about trying to fasten it with a buckle and trying to find the right hole to put it too.  It is not bulky and is comfortable to wear and the fact that you can design it to suit your needs is a brilliant idea. I would buy more.  I would recommend for the same reasons. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.  It is so easy to put on whatever garment you need it on and it is soft and comfortable for the child to wear.  As a mother of child who has no bottom to hold his trousers up this is perfect and now I don’t just have to choose trousers that have adjustable waist bands or elasticated with a drawstring to tie!

Bright colourful easy to use belt that will go with most items of clothing. Brilliant design so easy to adjust for it to be able to fit different waist sizes . You simple pull on the popper and choose how big or small to make the make the belt by simply popping it back onto a popper ! The buckle is so easy to use too and my daughter managed it with no effort at all ! She simply pushed the teeth inside the buckle and it clips into place. She easily then pinched the sides to release it again. Aminah knew exactly how to use it. I helped her to adjust it to the perfect size and she done it up easily herself and could undo it with no trouble at all. The belt is the perfect size and fit onto Aminah’s jeans and skirts perfectly. Once in place this is very secure.  It was also good Aminah could undo do this easily when needing to go to the toilet. Aminah found this belt very comfortable to wear she enjoyed sitting in it, it didn’t cut into her belly and it never once made her feel uncomfortable. It is easily adjustable and would certainly fit up to ten years of age. My Aminah isn’t a skinny child and I can see already she will get years of use out of this belt. It’s so cleverly made and the beautiful colours make a statement. Aminah wore this belt approx. 3 times a week for all of the day.  Use this on trousers, jeans and skirts. The belt is easily wiped with a warm cloth. My daughter didn’t really make it dirty but she did get a little chocolate on it and it wiped off easily. I loved the beautiful rainbow colours and the fact that it’s so easily adjustable will be of great use for many years to come. She loved the rainbow theme. She actually commented ” this will go with all my clothes mummy”! And she loved the fact it was so easy to use and didn’t have to shout for me to help her undo it when she went to the toilet. Very good quality it’s made beautifully and the fact that its handmade makes it that little bit extra special! It’s so easy to use which really helps and i love the fact it adjusts and you would get many years use out of it. To me it is important to support local company business. It genuinely is a very good quality item and feels like it is a special belt as you have chosen your colours and then it has been handmade with total care and consideration. You can just see as soon as you open the packaging what a beautiful belt this is and it made me and my child excited to use it! Very good value for money indeed. Definitely would buy this because it’s of such good quality and so easily adjustable you will definitely get many years use out of it. I would recommend because it not only can be used for years but you can pass it down to other children when your child has finally outgrown it. Great colour choices, it arrives in lovely professional packaging, it’s easy to use, easy to clean, and you will get many years use out of it. After receiving the email that the belt was currently being handmade for my daughter it wasn’t long at all before i received it. It arrived in lovely packaging and when we opened it we were so excited to use it. The colours we chose were of the rainbow theme with red clip, you can even choose what colour clip fastener u wish to have and this just amazing !!! This is good because when you order you will have a think what colours will go best with your child’s wardrobe so the fact you can choose is just wonderful. My daughter loved using it, it was easy to use, easy to adjust, and went with her clothes perfectly. Cheryl Nagati – Aminah 8 Years

Initially very excited as we really struggle to find belts for Noah and he always needs them with new size clothes as he’s tall and skinny. Great design, has great potential. It would have been easy to use had we been able to fit it to Noah’s clothes. We could not fit the buckle through the loops on Noah’s school shorts unfortunately which is where we need to use belts the most. We did manage to get them through the trousers loops but the weather was too hot to wear trousers. We were unable to try properly as it was too warm to wear trousers to school when we tried it towards the end of term.  Unfortunately we were not able to use these properly so unable to comment if comfortable to wear. This would have worked brilliantly with a different design of shorts. I agree that this type of belt would last a long time. Only tried briefly at home. We tried on school trousers and shorts as these are the only clothes he has with belt loops. These were bought from Asda at age 7-8. Unfortunately the belt would not fit through the loops on the shorts of this size. I did like how easy these were to adjust to the size of the child.  Also good that they will grow with the child. Appears good quality but unable to try its full use. Given that this has been handmade I was so disappointed that we were unable to use it too its full potential. If they work well for you yes good value. I would not buy this purely because it would not fit on Noah’s clothes. I would recommend but be aware that the belt loops would need to be larger than the ones we have for it to fit.  We were really excited about trying this product as we struggle to find belts to fit Noah. He is tall and skinny so always grows out of the length of shorts and trousers before the waist. When we received the maxi belt we instantly tried it on Noah’s school shorts but unfortunately the clip would not fit through the loops on his belt. We tried every way we could but it just wouldn’t go through. Very disappointing as we would have loved to try this product to its full potential. Donna Liddiard – Noah 7 Years
