This is pretty mean, these are used for autistic children who have been known to take off running for no reason. One of these can save a kids life and your making fun of them.
That really is hilarious, but it seriously is a good idea. You really can’t be too careful in large crowds with little kids. Everyone knows what awesome shoes little kids can make, you turn your back for one second and BANG! your kid is being sold to a Nike plant in Indonesia.
No, no, no. If you can’t control your kids, stop having them. Having your kid on a leash is more embarrassing for the parent than it is for the kid. I say this because it just screams, “I can’t handle children but I have them anyway.” Taking care of children is probably the most easiest thing a person can do.
“Hilarious….but its a good idea…kids tend to wander off. Especially nice for people living in busy cities.”
Yea, you think you could potty train them by shoving their face in a diaper too? cause that would be great. I leave mine locked in a cage when i go away for a weekend too.
If you have kids, take the responsibility and time to TEACH them something, instead of leashing them, way to be role models. I gotta go, i gotta set my 2 year olds bowl of cereal and water on the ground
Great idea. Let’s not teach our children to stay by our side rather let them know that Kujo gets a 10ft leash because he pees outside while they get the 6-footer.
They may look silly, but if you’ve ever dealt with a toddler in a public place you’ll probably understand why they’re not a bad idea.
I’m so glad you guys have this parenting thing all figured out, despite clearly not knowing the first thing about toddlers. Everyone’s a perfect parent, until they actually have kids.
I love the statement above “If you can’t handle children, stop having them,” which is promptly followed by “taking care of children is probably the most easiest thing a person can do.
What an effing moron…
Toddlers are like magicians, with inadvertent slight of hand, such as us bending down to pick up the glass of milk they spilled, they disappear into thin air. It’s probably best to just let them wander around freely in large cities though, I really see your point.
actually Children ARE like pets and its about time we started treating these little bastards as such. Yes these are horrible parents that should be sterilized but these little shits should be tied up anyway rather than allowed to run lose like savages.

I happen to have a 4 year old son and a 10 month of son. I worked from home for 8 months and took care of both of them. So, “taking care of kids is the easiest thing to do” Are you freaken kidding me?
I would love for those that say it’s cruel to watch a 2 or 3 year old that is exploring the world for a day in the mall. Where they can touch and grab, get lost or something else.
The leash is there for several reasons. One is that kids know there is a boundary to their exploration. Also, to allow the parent to know at ALL TIMES. Where their child is, with them safe. Uh..wait..that makes a good parent. Or, I guess you would rather have the one screaming at their child to stay in place.
My son loves putting on the leach, looks like a puppy. He knows he can go so far but not run off.
So, unless you’ve got kids and walked in my shoes as well as those of other parents.
ha ha! i was waiting for someone to relate this to ‘liberalism’. it’s really just a simple question of whether you can control your goddamned kid or if you’re so lazy and ambivalent about teaching your child how to behave in public that you’d rather just restrain them physically. i’m not going to cry out about cruelty or humiliation, because any parent seen using some bullshit like this in public is already opening themselves to criticism. and the fear-mongering about child molesters and kidnappers was inevitable too. the key to keeping your child safe is being an attentive and caring parent who is always aware of their child’s whereabouts. this is not a ‘good solution’, simply an easy one.
Oh Finally there is equality for dog and child!
How about keep your kids in a stroller or teach your kids some obedience? How about a muzzle for kids who talk to much?
Just wondering if the people who are against this actually have children. This is not mean. People letting their kids run around like maniac to be kidnapped or run over is mean. It has nothing to do with bad parenting or making your children behave. Toddlers want a certain amount of freedom. This makes it possible to give them that without putting them in harms way. It’s not to be used everywhere, but places like the zoo when your child wants to get down and look at things and there is no way you can hold their hand all day. It’s unfair to ask a child to be in a stroller all day. And there is no way this is going to mess up a child for life. I take it from your language you will manage to do that without a leash.

Its funny yet sad to see.
Stroller: lets them get fat / no exercise
Teach obedience: not sure every child is as up for learning this skill as every parent would wish for
Muzzle: think they’re designed for biting, and would probably be entirely appropriate if a child went round biting people.
Given the wide polarity of people’s views, from I’m sure both sensible and non-sensible people, I think its reasonable to say that it can only be a personal decision for the parents and the situation involved. No rules can be applied to all cases. I think real parenting problems run a lot deeper than this one.
I was actually just searching on the Internet for children’s harnesses and came across this website by accident, but after reading some of these posts, I had to comment. I have 3 children, ages 2, 3, and 4, and my 3 year old son is autistic (he is the one I was searching for a harness for). My 4 year old is very well behaved, and we have never had any problems with him taking off in a crowd or anything, but it’s a completely different story with my 3 year old. He is very tall and muscular for his age, weighing in at almost 43 lbs and can run faster than my 4 year old. If something catches his eye (and it could be the strangest thing that you would never think of), he will take off for it in a heartbeat. Now, if I am with my husband, one of us will stay with the other 2 boys and the other will go off to chase him. If I am by myself, I have to grab my 2 and 4 year olds and run to catch him by myself (and yes, this has happened before, not pleasant). If he were ever to get lost, I don’t know what I would do. I actually have nightmares about this, that he cannot talk to tell anyone who he is. Think of all the horrible people out there who would just die to get their hands on a little boy who would never be able to talk back or tell anyone who he is. This is why I am considering a harness for him. He is just getting too big and heavy for me to physically restrain him when he wants to take off AND I have 2 other little boys to worry about at the same time. I don’t think these people are bad parents; I think they are being vigilant about keeping their children close, while at the same time allowing them some freedom to explore and get their exercise. Taking care of children is NOT the “most easiest thing a person can do” and add to that the challenges of taking care of an autistic child, and I say, if you have to have them on a harness for their safety and comfort (my son hates being confined to a stroller), who cares? It says more about the people who judge others by outward appearances, than it does about the people using these devices.
@Tertial
Uhh, I find your comment quite offensive. ALL children have been known to take off running for no reason. Not just autistics.
Why do I say this? I am autistic. I did run and play like other children. But guess what else? My brother is normal. He was way worse! He ran on all fours at the store! He actually caused many more problems than I ever did.
So don’t go judging Autistics when Normal children do the same things or worse.
I don’t like the idea of leashes at all. I know plenty of people who grew up just fine without a leash- and I can tell you right now that at least 80% of these fine ladies and gentlemen are not dogs.
You have to teach your child that it’s not appropriate to run too far away from you, not to knock things over/break things, and teach them how to act in public appropriately without yanking them back via harness every time you don’t like something they do. Might as well go get some biscuits and a water squirter, too, huh?
Hilarious….but its a good idea…kids tend to wander off. Especially nice for people living in busy cities.

wtf have you ever heard of good parenting why the hell would yo put a kid on a leash
“Hilarious….but its a good idea…kids tend to wander off. Especially nice for people living in busy cities.”

The wife wants me to wear one. No suprise.
Great idea. Let’s not teach our children to stay by our side rather let them know that Kujo gets a 10ft leash because he pees outside while they get the 6-footer.
This always makes me cringe. I want to start carrying around an adult leash to put on these parents. The reactions would be priceless!
If you can’t keep track of your kids without a leash, you should have them taken away.
Horrible!
Funny but: its the parent thats on the leash, for the next twenty years! and don’t you forget it!
Hahah, toddlers on leashes crack me up too.
They may look silly, but if you’ve ever dealt with a toddler in a public place you’ll probably understand why they’re not a bad idea.
I’m so glad you guys have this parenting thing all figured out, despite clearly not knowing the first thing about toddlers. Everyone’s a perfect parent, until they actually have kids.
>>Taking care of children is probably the most easiest thing a person can do.
…spoken by that blissful voice of naivety.
that is so funny. I love the pics with people walking dogs on leashes next to people walking their kids on leashes.
I’m pretty sure my parents had one of these for me and my sister. It never did us any harm, so quit your bitching about it :3
all parents should keep their children on leashes
These parents treat these kids like animals, poor poor parenting, can’t control um, dont have um!
Oh the humanity…
I love the statement above “If you can’t handle children, stop having them,” which is promptly followed by “taking care of children is probably the most easiest thing a person can do.

Oh yeah and these were obviously photoshopped.
Hell, just let ‘em wander around in the streets of those big cities, maybe they’ll get hit by a car and reduce our “carbon footprint.”
paranoid idiots tie their kids to them
actually Children ARE like pets and its about time we started treating these little bastards as such. Yes these are horrible parents that should be sterilized but these little shits should be tied up anyway rather than allowed to run lose like savages.

Shut the hell up!
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PUTTING KIDS ON A LEASH!!
Stop the moaning and ultra-liberal whining. This is a good solution to kid wandering off and losing the kid to some child molesting kidnapper.
Only child molesters are against this. No more kids for them to steal!

Personally, I think that leashes for children under the age of 12 should be required by law.
What about child predators? Regardless of one’s parenting, a child can be kidnapped in a heartbeat.
You are a sicko
