I'll duck for cover now....

I hate them. I think they look disgusting and sooo disrespectful. I would hate someone to put me in a harness, even it was pretty. I trapse 6 kids around and have never needed or used one.

When teaching my kids to walk with me safely, they must hold my hand. If they dont, straight into the trolley, immediatly. I will do this over and over till its sinks in. If they are too young to learn safety, then I lock them up.. pram or trolley.

Kane isn't even 2, and after a few months of putting him in a trolley for walking off, he now walks with us all perfectly, same as all the others learnt. Being good = freedom.

Maybe I've been lucky!!



That being said, I understand why people use them. I would much prefer to see a harness on a child than a child on the road.
