What do you think of the leashes for kids?

[ktheodos]

i totally agree...leashes are a bit ridiculous....cruel/unusual punishment to say the least.....unnecessary...there are better options for sure!

Please let me kno what your opinion is about putting a child on a leash.

My personal opinion is that they are horrible for children. Yea they may help keep you child close as they tend to wonder off to places they shouldn't. but i think that if you can not keep track of your child that maybe you just shouldn't have kids. i believe that leashes were made for dogs and not children. as children listen better than dogs (in most cases).

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. do you not realize there are people such as myself with physical disabilities that aren't able to run after a child who may try to wander off. the harness and lease help to be able to hold onto the child.

I WOULD NEVER USE ONE FOR MY KID'S.  I think you should be able to control your kid's. If not maybe you should found a babysitter when you go out.

are you planning on paying for the sitter? if not mind your own business.

I can't imagine being on a leash. What if I put YOU on leash? How would you feel?

I totally agree with the poster of this discussion topic. Put your kids in a stroller or hold their hand.

[melissx9]

i dont agree in them at all - they are beyond rediculious

Truthfully I think it was a really dumb idea to have leashes for kids, seriously when I see a parent who has a leash on their kids I would be like 'wtf?' umm their not animals, you can just hold their hand or put them on a strollers duh

I hate to see a child on a leash, you want to walk something, get a dog. I was told if you want children, then you put the time and effort into them.  that means watch, involve your self, teach right from wrong, inpose rules,moral up bringing, pride, respect, ect. and learn to say no

[nickit]

I think they are sometimes necessary but don't like the looks of them

[bigfoot951]

No. Never. It's insane.  Their kids not dogs.

[sgluckadoo]

I guess if you cant teach them to stick close, then the leash is the only other option, lol!

I think they are a good idea. I believe it would be safer then losing your child. Nothing could be worse than losing your child.

I used to think "I will never put my child on one of those leashes". I felt that it made children look like animals. However, I have changed my mind regarding this because of my recent experiences with children. Kids are kids.....they are going to wander and run and explore. It's in their nature. A parent screaming at a kid to stay put will not do anything. It has nothing to do with how the parents control their kids. A child at such a young age cannot mentally understand that running into a busy street could get them killed. That is why I think that the leashes are a good idea. It helps parents because it does give a bit of freedom to the child, while at the same time providing safety and peace of mind for the parent. The only thing is that I wish they weren't referred to as "leashes" because it still makes it sound like something for an animal!

Its a great idea based on the fact of accountability, its a scary world.

They are so stupid I feel bad for the kid when ever I see them
