[Hugh Spicer]

Can anyone recommend mits/gloves for a one y.o. travelling in baby carrier
on back of the bike..... "Normal" mits just get taken off and lost at every
opportunity ! Any advice welcome !

The ones with string going up one sleeve and down the other.

Yep, I blinked and our two tots had turned into a couple of teenagers.

Being from a family who like sailing, we had one red one and one green
one.

I terribly resented not being trusted to not lose my gloves as a
child and refused such aids. I lost my gloves on at least one
occasion.

Though individual wrist loops rather than a line threaded through
the coat, I'm now a happy user on my mountain gloves and mitts.
Can ruin your day, and possibly lose you a hand, if you drop one at
the wrong time winter climbing or the like. You'd be an idiot not
to use them, in fact!

I used to spin mine around and pretend to be an twin engined aeroplane. Ah,
to be 25 again...

Where you can pull one glove and they punch themselves with the other hand?

smallish adult socks. You can get coats which have a flap on the end
of the sleeve that can be tucked over the hands. A rain poncho over
the whole seat (keeps the wind off hands). A warmer coat (is it
actually cold enough fro chilly hands to be uncomfortable if the body
is warm enough?). A trailer
