"leashes" for little ones?

what do you think of the "leashes" you can buy for your toddler? it's more of a harness type thing, they sell them at wal-mart and they have elmo, or other cute characters on them. they seem like kind of a good idea for crazy 2 or 3 year olds that aren't the best at staying by your side in busy places, but on the other hand, it also seems a little bit inhumane. what do you think?

Answers:
I think they are a good idea in certain situations like if your going to be in a large crowd but if your just a the grocery store you should be able to watch your own child

Isn't it along the same lines as putting a leash on a cat? They look stupid and they trip up other people trying to walk past.
