Would you put your child on a leash/a child harness? Why or why not? (Page 2)

[Daniela1982]

If the kids are prone to running off as a lot are, then I say yes. Better that than having hem run into the street or something before you can catch them.

[Lyndsielee666]

When my youngest daughter was three I used to put her in one at Disneyland. It’s hard chasing two damn kids through a crowded park plus people are scary. She’s older now she doesn’t wander thankfully

[Bmories99]

I don't know if it's more common. However I think they can be handy if your child wanders away. I believe it comes down to discpline of the child. If you discpline correctly not out of anger I don't think you would need this.

If you have 3 or 4 kids that you have to have along side yourself when outside, I see no problem with having a leash on them. Kids are sucidial maniacs.

Is it weird? Yes. But better safe than sorry.

[YoHoeRose]

I would simply for their own protection Maybe maybe in a very crowded place such as a mall or on vacation

[Drumlin2001]

Have used them, but son is pretty good at staying with us. Daughter is still a little young to worry bout it.
If it keeps them safe I don't see a problem

[Sour-rose]

In a way, it's embarrassing for the kid buuuut keeps little sarah to keep her ass nearby and not ran over.

[laurieluvsit]

Absolutely! ... my girlfriend almost lost her 4 year old at Disneyland in a huge crowd.

Some things are a must!

[Blackcosmo]

I saw it one time and I didn't like it. It was like they were being treated like dogs or something. I'd just pick them up or hold their hand.

[Prettygurl12]

Maybe. My siblings were leash children.

They were triplets though, so I kind of get it lol

[bolverk]

This is a very common thing with toddlers in the UK, it gets them out of the pushchair/stroller and let them burn off energy while keeping them safe next to their parent, once they were ready to walk by themselves it is no longer used.

[Wubs3000]

If I had a little shit that would run around in the streets and jump off rocks and run away, then yes.

[FinneasWilson]

I was never on a lead as a kid, but I think in some cases they can be helpful especially if the child has a tendency to run off and get lost, it would stop child abductions as well.

[nisnaia]

I would never do that.

It looks so bad like you're treating them as animals. If they're too rowdy I would pick them up or raise them right from the start.

[Thevocalist]

If I had a child yes. Because I know how active they can be and it just seems convenient

[Bratsondanielle]

My sister usually locks her kids in the basement when she goes anywhere

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Hell no, I want my kid to have some pride in themself

[TenderFantasy]

I was never leashed (thank god) and I turned out good... at least I think I did lol. 😉

[__MisterGoneShiner__]

It's obvious. No. More like...
H 3 L L N A A H !!

[Staximus]

Some kids just don't listen, and putting a leash on the little bastards to keep them safe is probably better than beating the shit out of them to make them listen, right?
