Kid leashes

It always make me feel upset seeing a kid in one of those things. Not something I would want my kids in at all even though it is harder for me bring both babies at the same time. I just drag my daughter with me even when she doesn't want to go. I take her by her hand and make her come some times she throws a fight and other times it's what ever. I hope my kids never will. They aren't always angles but I scare them enough to make them listen. Also the double stroller is amazing for me but a lot of times when I go place there is always two of us.

Any where I go I pretty much put my kids in a stroller or a shopping cart. But she always stays near and it always helps having someone come with you that is also and adult. I really hate kid leashes. I saw that as a gift and I went "Oh" and my husband saw it as well.

I would have been upset to receive that as a gift and I would have returned it just like you did. And it's really good that your daughter stays near you. That means she has been taught well and she is a polite kid. You are right, it is a lot easier when you have another adult with you. I don't usually like going places by myself anyway.

I don't like going place a lone either. That is why I normally have someone else go with me or we leave the kids with someone and me and my husband go together to get things done. But there are times I have to take the kids by myself which they both do just fine but I so need to get another umbrall stroller for my daughter since her brother is now using it and we dont' really have any use for a double stroller any more.

I appreciate that difference between a child and a pet and also the importance of keeping a dog on a leash. The purpose of mentioning it was to highlight the fact that I even disliked doing so to a dog, therefore to treat a child in that way would be unthinkable to me.

I understand what you mean. One is necessary since they are a animal and one that is a person just a small person that just need to be looked after and taught over time. All children have the ability to listen it's how you talk to them since all are different.

There is a big difference between animals and humans. One in some place in the world it's against a law to not have a dog on a leash because some dogs will attack and even friendly dogs can attack that is why they have them for the dogs protect, the owners and others. I don't see any really good reason for a child's leash at all. I know why they are used but at the same time. I say take your child's hand and hold it even if they dont' want you to your the adult you can over power a little one. That is what I do with my oldest, I take her hand and bring her with me but most always right now she is going throw that 2 stage of life so I have to put her in a stroller in most places that we got to with her baby brother. That is why I got a double stroller to protect them both. When it's just her and another adult she will walk with them like when we go to the store.

That is what I feel. I can't do that as a mom because I know any where I go I can bring a stroller with me even when my kids can walk if it's busy that is the best thing for them or a cart if we go to the store. A lot of times I make sure I don't go out a lone I take another adult with me.

I agree. There are also strollers so if the child is too tired to walk you can push them around or as you said carry them. I do that with both of my children. We have a double stroller in which we put the kids in but now our youngest can sit better in a umbrall stroller so he use it and or oldest walks.

I stick my kids in a stroller or make my oldest walk depending on where we go. A lot of places we go they can sit in something to keep them from going to far and there is always more then just me.

I have two and I've yet to need it. My oldest is 23 months and my second child is 4 months old. I put them both in a double stroller all I have to listen to is my oldest wanting out or I drag her with me. I would never use one I don't care if my child tries to get away from me they do that it's back to the stroller till they can listen. One way to get my oldest to listen to me because she doesn't want to be in the stroller and will walk with you put you always have to hold her hand. I never take my hands off of either of them. This is always why I have someone else go out with me. My oldest is going throw her 2's already so it's funny seeing her try things that she wants to get away with but she doesn't. I've put the fear of god in her early. You don't go up and down the stairs with out someone. you don't go outside with out an adult and you always hold there hands.

Yeah once kids learn how to unbuckle themselves there is no stopping them for getting out. That is when you kind of put the fear of god in to them. I take my oldest hand and make her walk, with out hurting her of course. Or like I most always do right now because my youngest can't walk yet is I put them both in the double stroller and stroll them, or put them in a cart when at the store that normally takes to people with me do that one to push one and one to push the other. My nephew had a leash when he was younger and his mother couldn't figure out how me and my mom got him to stay with us. It was easy I told her you take him by his hand and walk with him. I still do that with him and he hates holding hands and if he throw I fit I would just let him I don't care if people look at me like I'm crazy. Children like to test there limits with all adults and it's how you handle it if you seem a bit scary at times they tend to listen or use a tone that means do this now or your in trouble. This is also how I get my 23 month old to listen to me. Once timeouts started at 14 months she likes to test me and my husband. I just don't say anything to other people that I see that have there kids them. I don't like it one bit but I just ignore it like I don't see it. I do understand why they are most likely using it but at the same time there is other ways that doesn't make the child look like and animals.

I never seen a parent drag there kids with a leash but I can believe if for sure. I just take my oldest hand and a pull her alone where she is able to walk. some times she throws a little fit because she doesn't want to but I see it as testing my limits.

Yeah in the US you will find all kind of things here in the US. But I wouldn't put my kids in them because I rather care them, or make my oldest walk or even just stick them both in to there stroller.

Why would I need to ask them to help take turn taking care of my children. I'm a stay at home mom and I almost never leave the house a lone with both of the kids. The only place I go with them a lone is to family members home. I would never need a leash thus the reason why me and my husband brought the one back that his grandmother bought me for Christmas. He and I both hate those things.
