Monday, September 10, 2012 10:15:46 AM The leash things are good idea, I don't see them a lot though! My mother used to have one for my siblings and I so we could look at the bottom of a river without being held and restricted so much, or look down a hill with out tumbling down. It gives the parent some space, too. I do see why it looks inhumane or cruel looking on the outside in, but when you're that parent or that child, it's quite useful. The child isn't being hurt either if it's a harness around the chest, but I think the wrist ones are terrible :( |

Saturday, September 08, 2012 4:19:18 PM @runemang and hauswyfe. agree with both of you. to me its infinitely more positive to keep a kid on a leash like that rather than have them run out into traffic or run away and get scooped up and abducted by some fleet footed pedophile.

Saturday, September 08, 2012 1:50:55 PM Runemang, I second that. I'm the mother of a child with ADHD, and if I had been born with the speed and agility of Usain Bolt I couldn't have caught him when he was wound up. I relied on a child leash to keep track of him in crowds when he could easily have gotten lost, and while shopping. I couldn't put him in the cart seat at the store because he would have jumped out the instant I turned my back. The leash was the safest way to go. Don't knock it people. Sometimes it's the safest alternative there is. |

Friday, September 07, 2012 7:50:08 PM I don't mind the leash - no way in hell she'd catch an undisciplined child running amok. I'm not a slender reed but I'm still fit enough to outrun and catch both of my kids ... not that either is undisciplined enough to get more than 3 feet from me anyway. |
