Recommend your child harness

Temp123197812503460

Do you have experience with a specific kids harness (the kind where you can hold onto a leash) that you like? Just wonder which is the best or what to look for.(and please spare me the lecture if you don't like them, you must be a better mother than me to be able to control 2 12 month olds by yourself in a parking lot or other busy area).

So we have this backpack harness and really like it.  We've honestly never really used the leash part of it though, (maybe once?) but DS LOVES wearing the backpack.  The leash is also removeable.

We were gifted the backpack "child safety harness" from Target that looks like a bear.  My friend that gave it to us has got 3 walkers (13mo old twins + 2 yr old) and really likes it.

FWIW, I think more people should harness their kids.  Keeps them safe and while everyone says "my kid is such a prescious angel she wouldn't wander off..." every kid is different.  I think of that episode of Modern Family where Cam and Mitchell were explaining that their child was a runner.  All of the kids in my family were also runners, so I have the backpack harness just in case.

We have this one but haven't used it yet.

No judgement here.  My kid's safety comes first.  If people don't like it, too damn bad.

i let him wear just the backpack for a while to get used to it before the harness part. it was a total lifesaver in the airport recently. he could run and release energy before each flight, without escaping into the actual walkways and getting trampled. 

eta: he's wearing his harness in my siggy pic

This exactly. I have a Munchkin one that I bought on Amazon. It's like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sunshine-Kids-Steps-Safety-Strap/dp/B00081L4YW/ref=pd_sim_ba_4

I can't find the exact one I bought.

Thanks everyone!And wow, someone needs to work on their reading comprehension. I really hope she isn't telling me this as a mom of a singleton infant.

LOL. That's cute. About a year from now, at some point in time, your cute little currently immobile worm will go limp and scream bloody murder to try to escape holding your hand. Most likely while you're carrying something breakable. Good luck with your "disapline" working on a 14 month old.

This. People can judge me and my baby on a leash all they want as long as my baby can't escape into a horde of people. We've only tried it once so far and DD thought it was hilarious. She would run and jump when she got to the end of the leash, become airborne for a second, then go splat on the ground. So we need to work on the technique a bit but I think she'll get the idea eventually.

Seriously! And then throw in a second 14 month old. Im cracking up at the idea of dicipling a one year old. Or was she just telling me to grow another set of hands? I could totally use those!
