I can do it myself!

Now that fall has arrived, gone are the days of easy to put on and pull off elastic-waist shorts. Denim jeans and heavyweight corduroy are the daily picks on these cooler days. If anyone else out there has a child like ours, with a long and lean build (tall yet small waist), you know how difficult it is to find pants to fit correctly. When you find a pair that’s long enough, the waist is entirely too big. Adjustable waistbands aren’t always easy to locate, and G complains about how bumpy and itchy those can be, anyway.

The only remedy: A belt. I searched high and low for just a regular belt last winter. I ended up having to go to a specialty department store to find a brown leather belt to fit our son! Not that this wasn’t enough — it is virtually impossible for him to fasten on his own. Little fingers that are just learning to hold a crayon correctly and put puzzles together aren’t quite ready for leather-plaited belts, in my opinion. I began to wonder: Is there a solution?

Enter Myself Belts! I came across this company’s website and knew we had to try their belts. They are specially made for little fingers to fasten — all by themselves! Sturdy materials, strong-gripping velcro, and a trusty snap to hold them onto the first belt loop — all of these things make one fabulous belt for little ones.

G was excited about his “new brown belt.”

I snapped the belt onto the first belt loop, then he helped thread it through the others. In no time at all, he had gotten the hang of the velcro fastener.

He was so tickled that he could fasten and unfasten it all by himself! That’s a big deal to an independent-spirited four-year-old.

Myself Belts are designed especially for children ages 2-8. The belts are available in so many cute styles, such as airplanes and alphabets, ballet and pink camouflage. They even have personalized belts available!

Celebrities such as Brooke Shields and Courteney Cox are loyal to Myself Belts for their own little ones. Myself Belts also has a line for special needs teens and adults! To make purchasing easier, Myself Belts has a nifty size chart handy on their site.

You can buy Myself Belts directly from their website, or from a number of specialty retailers nationwide. The prices range from $14.95 to $25.95.

Win it! Myself Belts has offered to give one of you a chance to win one of their super-fabulous belts for your own little guy or gal! All you need to do is go browse around Myself Belts’ site for a while, then come back and tell me in a comment which style you’d pick. Sorry; the personalized belts are not eligible. U.S. entries only. I’ll close the contest at 11pm EST next Friday, October 31st, 2008 and announce the winner the following day. Good luck!

My 2yo daughter would look darling in the Metallic Heart Belt.
Although I have to confess the personalized black leather belt would be great too.

I just told my 3 year old today that I was going to have to get her a belt – none of her pants stay up! She then told me, “But Mom, belts are for boys; there’s no pink ones!” Just wait until she sees these. If we don’t win, I’m gonna buy one for her. She’s all girl and would love the pink ribbon belt. Thanks for showing us this great site!!

My daughter would love the White Flower belt.

HI, great idea. My fave is the solid navy belt, as it will go with all his jeans. he is always running aroung holding the waist of his trousers!

Thanks for the giveaway, my choice would be the train belt or the dinosaur belt.

My son would like the camo belt or the navy and white stripe, that looks so fancy. Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win,

My son would love the Construction Belt in size small for my 3 year old.

I would pick the sugar and spice.

What a fabulous idea! We were just talking about a way to make belts easier for kids!! WOW! I think the Train Belt would go over well, even my daughter would love it!

These look great! i like the Solid Brown Canvas Belt best. Thanks!

I like the lavendar flower and bee belts.

I love the Fire Truck Belt, but I’d probably go with the brown leather belt, so it would go with more outfits.

My little guy would love the construction belt. These are GREAT!

I really like the Pink Striped Ribbon Belt.

I love the fact that they make bigger sizes for adults with special needs. I really like the little boys train belt- super cute!

Solid navy would be my choice. Great product – I think I’ll order a couple for my boys.

I like the white flower belt for my 3 yr old little girl and the personalized brown belt for my 5 yr old boy!

This would be great for my 4 year old niece. I’d get the Purple Polka Dot Belt for her.

The lavender heart belt is so pretty! My daughter is long-legged and skinny too, and it’s tough getting a pair of pants to fit her.

I love the metallic heart belt!

I would pick the dinosaur belt. My toddler would go crazy over it lol

I love the Solid Navy Belt and Race Car Belt!

I’d love the sports belt for my nephew.

I do like all the cute designs, but I think the brown leather belt would be most practical.

Oh how I have searched hi and low for a belt for my son. He is short and really skinny and when we use the superlastic waist at the tightest he cant pull his pants down for the bathroom. We would love the brown leather belt.

I’m all about the purple polka dot belt…way too cute.

My favorite for my slim lil guy is the Boys Camouflage Belt.

the brown leather would work best here for two kiddos

My toddler loves belts! I think the Beep Beep belt would be great for him.

I would love the Sugar and Spice belt for my daughter … or the white flowers … or the pink stripe! I just can’t decide – they are all cute!!!

I think my boys would like the dinosaur belt the best! Thanks for the giveaway!

This is a GREAT idea.. My mom runs a daycare and let me tell you… Between shoe laces and belts… lol..
i’d choose the white flower belt

The dinosaur belt! RAAAWWRR!

My favorite belt is for sure the Metallic Heart Belt. But they are all so cute it was hard to decide. Thanks for the great contest.

We’re a big fan of diggers so we would probably go with that one or the solid brown one to wear to church. These little belts are so neat, especially since they help give the kids a bit of independence.

I have been looking at these for a while…what a great idea!!!

The Solid Navy would match most of my 3 year old son’s pants, and would really help his pants stay up, while not impeding on his independence to go to the bathroom

I would love the personalized black leather belt for my little boy. Thank you.

I like the metallic heart belt, these are really neat!

What a great idea!!!! My son is so independent now and he would love this. I bet he would like the dinosaur belt.

I’d love to win the black leather belt!

The alphabet belt for my son! He has the exact same problem- tall and kind of on the slim side, so to get pants to fit lengthwise they’re a bit large in the waist. And boy does that kid love the alphabet- we play with letters, sing the alphabet, look for letters in signs… of course, with the letters on his belt he may spend the day trying to look down and read it!

I like the ABC belt for my son

I think these are great since my son will not wear the belts I got him because they are too hard for him to do quickly. Coolest ever!

My daughter could definitely use a belt, her pants are constantly slipping down. I’d choose the Pink Striped Ribbon Belt for her since she definitely has a stash of pink clothes to go with it! Thanks!
