I think it just perpetuates the issue.. Teaches your kid to walk as far away from you as the leash allows and there's no consequence. So it's not you being a parent, it's you being lazy and choosing to use that crutch instead of actually parenting your child. Like, you never see someone using that and think "wow, she must be a really good mom and she has such great control over her kid"

I wouldn't use one. I feel like it's a leash like you would use on a dog. I can't do that to my daughter. Just my opinion.

oh wow toddler are crazy @marskhaos

Or they watch her climb out of her stroller herself even buckled in

They do until we pick her up and she starts freaking out

ppl don't look at u crazy? @marskhaos

I have one for my 18 month old she refuses to listen so we use it for her it's a stuffed frog

thanks guys @proudmama0407 @mommytobe0703 sorry if I'm not talking Im at er I broke or fucked up my arm I tripped over my daughter baby gate

I used one with my daughter when she was around that age. She used to just run and not listen, when she wanted to stop wearing it and I told her she needed to listen or hold hands to not wear the leash and it worked out well

we are trying but it is such a headache I feel like screaming at times

@rachaelbutsch, I'd have a fit if my step Daughter who is also about that age did that.. I came from a strict household though.. if you where not within arms reach you where too far and you did not say no to elders

my daughter is 18 months old and loves to yell no when we tell her something @aphrodite2014

I'm not against them, but at the toddler age is when they should start learning right from wrong in my opinion and the leash doesn't overly.. I prefer control by voice, but if your kid will respond better to that then go for it
