Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi, I was just wondering why some bar are longer than others? We have been struggling with my daughers shoes b/c they've been giving her big red spots (and a blister) on her heel. Anyway, today we went to have her boot fixed to fit better and they cut down her bar. My husband and I thought it was farly long. We are not farely happy with the width of the bar. She fits better in her car seat, her swing....in our arms :-) anyway, just wondering if anybody knows why some people suggest longer bars over shorter ones. Thank you a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 yea, I knew that...thanks...but, I was reading somewhere that some Dr's add 1 " on each side or something like that (added to the all ready width of the sholders). My daughers bar is now her sholder width...I think it was much widder before. I wish I'd mesured it. Anyway, thanks a > Hi a- > > It isn't a matter of preference.
