[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're a lazy parent.[/quote]

How is this lazier than a stroller or a carrier?  The positive difference being the child can WALK and actually get some exercise.[/quote]

Wow, you really don't get it. I'm guessing you have a collection of toddler leashes.

The parent is lazy because parenting a child by teaching them to hold your hand and not dart in front of traffic actually takes some effort. [/quote]

NP but I don't think you get it. Some children will run away at any time the have a second of freedom or feel your hand lessen its death grip. Airport security flagged our carry on and when I slid it over to them he took off in a second. Just one example.[/quote]

No, you don't get it. By placing a runner child on a leash you avoid teaching them anything. Practically everyone that has children has had them dart away. Do you think you're unique in this? So, you chose to put your child on a leash and wait it out until their natural inclination to run away and explore has subsided. That's one way, I suppose. Not in my family, though. [/quote]

I used to think the same way too until my second. Never used one on my first because it wouldn't teach him anything. However, with my second I saw that he could kill himself while I was trying to teach him. I am the one that recommended the wrist strap, not the backpack leashes because with the wrist strap is a. Backup for hand holding. And, obviously I am not unique and many parents are in the same boat or they wouldn't make and sell so many.[/quote]
