[...] Well the tip today was on teaching children to stop when asked. Teaching them in much the same manner as teaching them how to chew, walk, etc. I will definitely have to try it out on baby girl. It definitely sounds like a much better alternative to the leash. [...]

Yea, I can see how that would be a problem. I can imagine they wouldn’t like it very much. Thanks for the tip!

I have three kids, and although I’ve been tempted, I never did the leash. I don’t know if a kid would even agree to it. My youngest will be walking soon and he’s not an issue yet but I can see how he would hate it. My middle is two and she is so “grown” now that when we take her out of her stroller, she won’t hold your hand which means she sometimes wanders or, runs off. If she won’t hold my hand, I can’t see her allowing me to strap anything like this on her.

I’m (we’re) leaning towards no.
Leash on a 13 year old is just freaky!

I don’t think I’d ever use one but never say never. I’m lucky that my daughter wasn’t one to run around. I saw a parent using one on a child that looked like he was 13 years old. Very strange!

Hilarious!!!!!! I don’t have kids, but I doubt if I would go with the leash.

Yes, my sentiments exactly. I see the logic behind it, but it most definitely looks weird. I’ll keep you updated.

LOL!

Wow this is an interesting topic, I must say! Since my baby girl's not here yet I cant really say what I'd do but I have seen other parent's using the "harness".

I dont think there's anything really, really wrong, per se. I mean, I'd rather have a handle on my kid than have her go missing in a huge mall, store, park, etc. But on the other hand, it just LOOKS kinda weird, ya know? *shrug*

That's a good one..let me know what u decide...
