What do you think of toddler leashes?
Answers:
For what you are using it for it sounds like a lifesaver as well as a safety precaution. Be sure to keep her close though so nobody tries to walk in between you and ends up yanking everyone every which way. Good Luck at the airport

it helps keep them close without taking off
they are not harmful I say go for it
I think they are horrible, your child is not a pet, I am teaching my 19month old to hold my hand I received one as a gift but could never bring myself to use it on my toddler. Leashes are for dogs, not kids.
I hate those things, your not walking your dog, it's your child. just hold her close and ice your back later
If I had a particularly wild child who took off at every opportunity, I would use it. Why not use a stroller for your daughter?i think rewarding her to stay close is a better idea I THINK YOUR INSANE! do you know how mutch damage you could do to that childs mental satus when he/she grows up he/she may have issues i suggest you dont do that what do you think your child is a animal!?
omg! wow it would look like she's your pet to ppl passing you on the street
I think it is responsible parenting. Don't let anyone make you feel like you are going anything wrong!!i think it may be good as long as its not around their neck...maybe it will prevent them from running away and abductions When I first saw them on the market, I thought it was a horrible idea - made the kids seem more like animals. But after thinking about it, I realize that there are some children who naturally like to wander and easily get away from the parent(s). If the "leash" will keep the child nearby and safe, then it would be good to use. Consider the alternative - would you rather have the child taken or injured by wandering off unseen?
Pathetic. It inhibits their growth and development.
I think it's a good way to keep them close but it looks funny as if the child was a dog or something and your daughter may become irritable and have a bad response to it.in a crowded place (say, like a state fair or a carnival) then yes. At a mall or something like that, just have her hold your hand, or get a stroller for toddlers. Parents have somehow managed to control their children for untold centuries without those horrid leashes. Unless your child is a Dachshund, get rid of that leash. And why would you be carrying a 3-year-old, anyway? She's quite old enough to walk on her own.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just like holding their hand.. just giving them a little more freedom and space. Some kids need to be attached. They even make cute little backpacks for them now that look like monkeys and the tail is attached to you. Very cute.
In general my wife and I are not keen on them for the reasons being mentioned. Your child needs to learn to stay close, and is not a pet, and attaching them to a leash is a brute force solution that doesn't really fix the problem.That being said. We do own one, and have used it in a few extreme situations. For instance, travelling with one parent, in an airport. It is a crazy situation, the parent has hands full, lots and lots of people, etc. etc. So we weren't happy about it even then, but it seemed better than the alternatives.
Safety should always be the first consideration! Who cares what others think, no matter what you do someone will have a negative opinion anyway! Go for it. it is very helpful in a crowded place and saves you a trip to the doctor
i used leashes with my children. it gives you a little bit of freedom, it allows them to learn to walk without having one hand up holding yours and it keeps them safe. i would rather have my child on a leash looking like an adorable puppy than in the arms of a stranger headed out the door of a store!!!!!
i don't have a problem with them as a general rule. have you thought of getting a sitter if you have to go out and do errands for a long period of time?they are not right kids are not pets they dont need to be on a toddler leashes. Leashes? Hell, CHAINS. :) Gotta control the little boogers SOMEhow...
Only if you had a daycare of kids would I ever support "leashes". If it's just your daughter, pay
attention to her and there's no need for a leash.
A 3-year-old shouldn't be carried around all the time.
Toddlers are not dogs why put them on a leash. If u don't want them to walk a way put them in stroller and in gorcery basket when your in the store. Leashes are good. I also promote cages and feeding them from a trough.
In a crowded place it keeps them near and keeps others from walking off with them. I have 9 kids I have never used one but 13 years ago at Sea World I thought my husband had my 2 year old son he thought I had him turns out he was by himself near the turtles. Scariest thing ever.
