free child safety reflectors

bumble3130

the dark nights are here and now my son is walking everywhere and getting a bike for his birthday I thought about getting reflectors for him and emailed the road safety people to see if it was possible to get these items free anywhere. they dont seem to have them in the cataolgue so thought id try my luck.they emailed me back and said they can send these free and i was to reply with name and address and who items were for.
today i recieved a pack of 20 hedgehog reflectors(which u can hang from bags and coats), a reflector for his bike spokes and a reflective armband.
thought i would share this with you all because i feel its important for children to be safe at night.

deanos those are totally different things. those are just simple stickers which fall off. the items i got sent are not available on the catalogue for order. they are proper reflectors which you can attach to coats/bags via a chain.
