I have learned that the only way I can stick to an exercise regimen, is if I do it before the kids wake up in the morning. This is why you will find me walking at 5:30AM, before even the roosters are awake! The thing that I don’t like, is that it is still dark outside, which makes it hard for me to see and I know that others can’t see me. When approached by a new company called Safees.com, I knew that I needed what they were selling.
Here is what Safees are and how they came about: Safees are pedestrian traffic safety reflectors, which help keep you visible when walking (or biking, or scootering, or tricycling or even sledding or horseback riding!) in the dark. As approaching cars’ headlights hit you, the Safees reflector reflects the light so that you are instantly more than three times as visible to oncoming traffic. Founded Johanna, who lives in San Francisco, is originally from Sweden and grew up always, always wearing a reflector walking to and from school, to friends’ houses and to activities. When Johanna and her husband Pascal had their first child in 2010 they wanted to attach reflectors to their son’s stroller for added safety, but they couldn’t find any. After some research Johanna was aghast to see that reflectors are not commonly, if at all, used by children in the US and Canada. So, Johanna took matters into her own hands and Safees was born!
Safees was nice enough to send me over some reflectors to try. The first thing I noticed were how cute all the reflectors are, especially the owls and hearts. I immediately started wearing my pink Safee clip on to walk and feel like I am much more visable to oncoming cars, bikers, and more. I am saving the boys’ Safees for Halloween, since I know we will be out after dark.
Safees are available in a variety of styles and colors for both boys and girls and retail for under $5! You can purchase these adorable reflectors at Safees.com and be sure to use the code Safeesbacktoschool2012 to save 15% on your order!
