Do you use a backpack "leash" for your child?

Mrs. Dwigh

If you do, do you get a lot of rude comments from strangers about it?

Answer
Yes we use it occasionally. And I'm going to use it more, as I cannot keep up with my 2 year old as her little baby brother is growing inside of me. :) I'm 27 weeks. I wish I used it at the wic office the other day actually. Definitely taking her monkey backpack harness-aka child leash- with me when we visit Seattle in the next couple weeks. It's actually pretty cute and they can hold like their snacks or a cup in there. :) My daughter will run like crazy anywhere, so it is very handy to keep, I just keep it in the car. I have the tail part wrapped around my wrist and let her hold my hand. Then when she get's her eye on something, she can't run off too far. :)
I haven't really got any rude comments about it but I'll tell you a funny one a little boy made a comment on it. We were in Costco and we had her monkey"leash" on her so she can walk around. Well a little boy in the grocery cart goes. "Mommy! mommy! That girl has a leash on!!" I just smile oh so sweetly, then he looks at my bf and repeats. "she has a leash"... My boyfriend retorts back, "yeah, but you are in a cage!! LMAO!!! kid's face just dropped and his mother and I were laughing hysterically. :)
But I don't care what people think. My daughter's safety and more important than people's opinions. Better safe than sorry.

BTW... A LEASH IS WHAT MOST DOGS WEAR AROUND THEIR "NECK"... just to the people referring these things to walking a dog... :)

Child Harnesses/Leash?

Is it just me or is it the funniest s**t you've ever seen? Although I do feel bad about the kids being brought up like that by their parents.

Answer
Feel bad about what? My kid loves his. Don't waste time feeling bad about something he likes. It offers more freedom than holding my hand & he feels like a big boy that he has a backpack on.

I think the funniest s**t I've ever seen is people wasting time feeling bad for kids that wear backpack harnesses rather than feeling sorry for kids whose parents don't care if they run off or leave them at Chucke E. Cheese because they don't keep track of their child. Or feel sorry for the babies screaming baby in a carseat while mom is busy shopping & talking on her cell phone. Don't waste time feeling sorry for my child who is grinning ear to ear & so proud of his backpack. It is a waste of your time..unless you just have nothing better to do, then I guess feel free to waste your time on it. ;)
