Leashes on kids.

I never used one, but I really don't think it is any different then strapping them in a stroller. If anything, a leash might help them have more environmental stimulation than being in a stroller. However most of the time I used a stroller was because I did not want to carry a diaper bag or drinks through places like amusement parks or the zoo or when shopping, that would have frustrated me and not been enjoyable.

I like them. Keep those kids in line. If it were me though, as a kid, I would have found it humiliating and dehumanizing. But, I also wasn't the kind of kid who would end up in a gorilla pit.

I have a leash backpack for my son. I use it sometimes. I dont care. I used to think it was ridiculous til I became a parent. Id rather look "ridiculous" than have my son run off. Becoming a parent has made me a lot less judgmental of parents...
