I really don't consider the opinions of people who have no practical experience.Kд§$ị (ИσvΔ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05483029185080391921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-38765188466317074692012-07-08T20:41:56.651-07:002012-07-08T20:41:56.651-07:00I think I WOULD try it, if I had a very active tod...I think I WOULD try it, if I had a very active toddler who had a tendency of sprinting off in busy or dangerous places. My three-year-old is the cautious type and tends to stick close to me. But, like you, I'd probably feel self-conscious about the "leash" stigma. Never really thought about the fact that they'd be jerked back on a short leash - definitely something to consider.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901921122145191694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-42705676770793863882012-07-07T19:48:26.289-07:002012-07-07T19:48:26.289-07:00Yes, an extension might be the answer...Yes, an extension might be the answer...Lisa Corriveauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528772139443165946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-11584494038812490242012-07-07T17:40:42.999-07:002012-07-07T17:40:42.999-07:00Could you somehow supplement the length of the lea...Could you somehow supplement the length of the leash part for day-to-day use?<br />I think for crowded places where people all jostle together - parades, amusement park ride line ups, airports - the shorter leash would be ideal.<br />We lost The Niece at a Museum once when she ducked under a railing and ran around a corner before either of us could run around the barrier. Obviously, we found her and all was well, but we stopped and picked up a wrist to wrist strap on our way home. We refer to them as bracelets, and she understands their purpose - although she's 4 years old now, and we don't need them as often as we used to.@ErinMarshall71http://themarshalls71.com/noreply@blogger.com
