I know the premise is a good one, and there is nothing really cruel about them at all... but I have to be honest every time I see one I cringe a little. It just looks so horrible. If you absolutly have to then you have to though. Maybe you could try a small umbrella stroller instead? ↑ |
I won one.I have one for my 3 year old.Its better then having them run into the middle of the street.And yeah I get looks but oh well. ↑ |
they work wonders.........i know how they look but honestly......my oldest who is now 8 use to hate for me to carry him so i bought one of thoes and everywhere we went i put it on him......grocery store....mall.....or just for a walk.......he liked the freedom and i liked having control so i say go for it!!! ↑ |
Well, to each their own, but I'm one of those mothers who cringes when I see them on children. I don't care how much "control" it gives, it makes me think of walking a dog. I'd rather use the umbrella stroller. One, I move faster and two, I control where it goes as opposed to pulling on a leash to control my child. But ultimately, it's what you feel most comfortable with. ↑ |
I hate them but if you feel you really need one then its your choice. If you get one get the one that goes around his wrist not his back like a dog they just seem not "as" wrong. Everyone is different I just hold my daughters hand or have her in the lil umbrella stroller since its light if i need to carry it. ↑ |
I have only used one once but I tell you what, it was better than losing my sisters kids at Brookfield Zoo!! They do look awful but look at the alternative. my sisters kids were to big for a stroller at the time and they were "ok" about staying with me and my (ex)husband but I just knew all it took was a split seconf of looking away for someone to snatch them right up. ↑ |
I actually own one. From people think that there cruel and that tney look horrible but sometime you just have to do what you have to do. I only used it when we were in larger crowd because my son had a tendency to take off running which freaked me out. He's now two and I don't have to use anything. If he wonders off to far I just tell him, "To Far" and he backs up, but most of the time he stays where he can see me. ↑ |
I also own one! It really works for me because I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter and a 4month baby boy. So when we go out I have a car seat in one hand diaper bag in the other and my daughters hand. She would get away from me and think it was funny to run away. So I got a child leash and it helps out so much. I really dont care what people think it was either that or let my child get hit by a car. Has any one tried running after a two year old with their chuncky four month old baby in one hand in the car seat and a diaper bag. Yea almost impossible!! hehe ↑ |
