Baby health and saftey

What do you think of toddler/baby harness, mom’s and dad’s?

I never had a need for one with our first born, and every time I seen a kid on a “leash” I thought gosh that is awful poor kid looks like a dog.. Our second is a rambunctious high energy loves to walk child, we go to the store she screams in the buggy she wants to walk, but she will take off and run I was thinking of a harness to keep her near and from running and hurting herself but I am still weird about the whole “leash” thing… So what do you think of them or when you see a mom or dad pulling their kid (or the kid pulling the parent) around with them, do you think they are helpful or no? Thanks mom’s..
My daughter is only 14 months old she really does not understand to hold mom’s hand and stay with me, but yes that is why I asked what was everyone’s opinion on them I have mixed ones.

A friend of my father’s thought they were “leashes” and that his daughter only needed to be told to hold his hand the whole time and she’d be perfectly safe.

And then one time – just one – she let go and ran across the road because she saw a friend. She was hit by a bus and now has permanent brain damage.

I think I’d rather get snooty looks from you and the “leashes are for pets” brigade than be sat in the hospital with a child who will never walk, talk or smile again. You’ll have to make your own choice which is better.
