| Fake Buddy Belts? Take a look at this. BUDDY BELT HARNESS- size 4 RED- NEW | eBay Notice how the two arm holes connect. It's different than how they usually are. The seller says these are in fact BB and this is a size 4, yet in their other listings they have other size 4s with the correct shape. Does this strike anyone as odd? It'd be so easy to knock off the shape of a BB, what is up with this one?

| That is strange. Everything looks real except the center/chest area. Buddy Belt did not change their pattern, did they? On second glance, looks like the arm holes are off too. I don't recall the big tag looking like that either.

| While it's totally possible and very likely for companies to change their logos and hang tags from time to time, the armholes look weird! I wonder if the seller doesn't know they are fake? That is the only one like that in her store.

| Unless she only has one fake listed at a time among the real ones. Have you written and asked the seller?

| I don't use buddy belts, but yes it looks different than the other ones pictured...how odd. I also glanced at the description...haha I thought it odd for the seller to state "The color of this BUDDY BELT is called Red."...

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I didn't think Joey's looked that much different, but maybe I'm missing something? We got ours about 4 1/2 years ago, after copying Ann's boys' harnesses. Honestly are fake ones usually cheaper than the original? The only thing I note different was a little red thing that looked like the maple leaf symbol for Canada. http://parenting.leehansen.com/downl...maple-leaf.gif Perhaps it's made in Canada?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I just noticed that they all have a maple leaf on them, but I don't remember having one on Joey's I wonder if mine is fake, lol, I really love it.

| http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/alb...ctureid=110689 This is Kaji's buddy belt. We got it last week. It does have the leaf because it's made in Canada.

| The red one from eBay has a weird shape. It looks like glasses from the 60's.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, I see now it's the center that's a little different, maybe they changed their design?

| I ordered Jada and Bogie's Buddy Belts from Wet Nose Boutique about 3 or 4 months ago. Jada's is a size 3.5 and Bogie's is a 4. I never noticed the difference in the center of the arm holes until now. Maybe it is the size? I am thinking they only have a couple of half sizes available. Hmmmm

| Kaji's BB is a size 3. Is his different from yours? We just got it on Friday from a boutique in downtown LA. They had all the sizes and they all looked the same to me.

| I guess they do now. Better fit perhaps with the new half sizes? We first tried on a red 3.5 for Kaji, I really wanted the red one. It was too big. We then tried on the black one, and it was perfect! Black goes with everything right? mine looks just like Bogie's and is a full size as well.
