So I wasn't reminded of the fact that I wanted to blog about this until today when I read comments in someone else's post...What do you all think about those leashes they make for children now-days? Do they make that occasional stroll in the park much safer? Do they protect the child from all harm? Perhaps they give the average pooch a sense of belonging and make them fit in better among the family conglomerate? Because honestly, I don't like them...not at all...not even a little bit. When I see folks walking down the street with those, all I can picture is a child running toward the street; the parent panics, thus yanking the leash very hard; and then instead of getting hit by the car--which I see as the only positive in the situation--, the child has a scratched knee and forehead, perhaps a broken arm or rib, a missing tooth and a slight concussion if not whiplash. Is it just me? Your thoughts?

Just 2 words... Lazy Parents.
Or too fat to actually move and catch their 2 yr old.
So no. I don't like them.
seems to me that if you have kids then you should be responsible enough to watch over them, hold on to them, use a stroller , arghh I don't like 'em
I wholeheartedly agree with all of you! It's just lazy and seems very cruel to use those...I thought it was just me!
whiplash is better than death..
NoR~If you notice, I said not getting hit by a car is the UPside...those leashes just don't sit well with me though. I have 2 BUSY boys, but never felt the need to use those.
They seem rather cruel to me. I wonder if any kids who grew up wearing a leash have thoughts about it now as adults. Are they suffering from PTSD from it now?
Lisa~Exactly! :-)
I don't mind the leashes if it keeps them from pooping on my lawn.
