Toddler Leash & Harness for Child Safety - Keep Kids & Babies Close - Padded Shoulder Straps for Children's Comfort - Fits Toddlers w/ Chest Size 14-25.5 Inches - Kid Keeper by Mommy's Helper (Blue)

The first selling point that jumped out to me when I was perusing the market for child harness apparatuses was the fact that this rig does not place any pressure on sensitive areas like the stomach and groin. That significant attribute seems surprisingly overlooked in the majority of harnesses today, which leads me to believe that the market itself is rather undeveloped, but the future is looking bright.Now, you may or may not be hesitant to utilize a child-safety feature such as a this. Fear not, my friends. Much as the supply side has a few kinks to work out, so too does the demand side. Was Karl Benz's first attempt at the automobile a slam-dunk? Probably not. Were citizens of the late 1800's clamoring for self-driving cars? No. But, while all the horse and buggy merchants were sniggering and scoffing, he kept at it; sprinkle in a little Henry Ford and look where we are now. Don't let a few judgmental gazes hinder your commitment to top-of-the-line retention options.Obvious comfort and safety benefits to the child aside, let's look at the positive externalities. Right up on top of the packaging, I'm sure you see "Keeps your child at a safe distance!" Now we're talking! Safety for everyone? Sign me up. Also, this treasure just keeps on generating positive returns because it's adjustable up to a 25.5" torso. Incredible! I'm 6'2'' / 195 lbs and that's almost half the size of my chest. I don't know what kind of crazy growth spurts your kid will hit, but conservatively speaking, you're probably covered until age 12 depending on gender.After eagerly tearing open the packaging like a kid on Christmas, you'll notice that this harness comes with a wrist strap. While adjustable in length and better than nothing, it is unfortunately no more than some rope. This, as we all know, is a huge inconvenience.What happens if you just want to tether your kid in the living room during halftime while you freshen up beverages in the kitchen? I'll tell you: junior suddenly has 30-45 inches + wingspan of free ranging terror. That may not sound like much, but you tell me how convenient it is when you come back in at the start of the 3rd quarter to find the entire party platter of nachos wiped clean and what's left of the salsa coagulating on the newly upholstered sofa. It just won't work, so throw it away and get yourself a stout retractable dog leash. Anything rated for dogs up to 100 pounds should be good - chances are good your child won't outgrow the harness or the leash too quickly.

Works Great! Easy to put on and take off.

I was six months pregnant with twins, had a broken leg and a not-quite three year old who figured out pretty quickly that he could outrun Mama. When he nearly ran into a parking lot, I bought this item because his safety is my number one concern. When my son started getting rowdy in a crowded public location, I was able to slip this harness on him very quickly and easily because of the strategically placed velcro. I anticipated some snide comments from passerbys, but did NOT expect my son to give me a baleful look and announce (loudly): "I NOT a puppy, Mama!" Needless to say, my son did not like it one bit but it was comfortable and doesn't restrict the arms. It's a very good product, but it requires practicing with your child before it will be effective because the velcro WILL give if you and your child try to go in opposite directions.

This worked well for our Disney trip, but the Velcro started to pull the fibers of the harness apart—still functional, but looks awful.

This is a life saver, especially when you got a tenacious 2 running all over the place. This saves lives because my son has run out from daycare and a car could be coming out of parking lot and hit him, but this is a preventative. recommended to have for those terrible 2s lol

My son is non verbal autistic and has eloped on me twice in April so I bought this and it was weird at first in public with it but it was for his safety great quality the design and comfortable my son would look for it so we can go outside it is durable. And easy to remove plus doesn’t weight but handles my sons strength lol.

THIS IS NOT A SAFE PRODUCT!!! I'd like to give this 0 stars. The latch on the leash came off when my son was in the parking lot and I had luggage I was struggling to get in to car (6mo pregnant, on a west to east coast trip by myself with 23mo son -- really needed an extra pair of hands or a leash that WORKED). The problem is that the latch is cheap plastic, not even as nice as the metal pull down latch on pet leashes. Because of that, its prone to getting tangled in the plastic anchor that is on the chest band and slipping off, especially if you have an active child running around with it for a while. My son was running circles around me in the car rental store, we went to the car and I was putting luggage in when the leash slipped out and he ran right out from between cars into the parking lot while I was screaming and dropped luggage and nearly tripped trying to get him. Thankfully no cars were coming through but it was a busy lot and he could have been hit. TERRIBLE. They should put a higher quality latch on the leash part, one that does not so easily slip off.Also, this is NOT an easy product to get on a toddler or to adjust to the size. I agree with others, the toddler in the photo has a turtle neck on, otherwise her neck would be rubbed raw. The straps do not adjust in enough places to help it fit well. The velcro is really hard to get it to line up well so that it velcros enough and is secure, snaps or a loop to loop it through and then velcro to secure would have been better.My overall take is that this is a good product that took too many short cuts, too cheap, made too many bad decisions for cheap construction that ultimately render it frustrating and unsafe to use. I will probably just sew my own, to my liking and fit, for my toddler -- and it will be safer and better.
