What do you call these? We call them reins. Are they useful?

We call them a harness or leash. They're useful if you have a kid who likes to run off.

My parents have one

To put that on a child that you love can be. very demeaning in public. Just because a parent has the legal authority to control the child doesn't mean the social humiliation is legitimate. I had some experiences similar to this as a child and it helped destroy the child/parent relationship.

It's calld a harness and yeah useful if parents want to keep their kids safe.

Yes a harness and some of the pic's look really bad especially the one with the girl tied to the pole and her sitting down like she was a pet.

We call them child leashes and no - they aren't useful for the most part. They are easily defeated by a child doing a sit-down strike!

Tbh it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen


I would never put a leash on my child

[c=#4C0073] Child harnesses are a godsend for large gatherings like parades, fairs, and festivals. I think it'd be horrible for everyday use, but they are very sensible to use during say visits to Disney world or Mardi Gras parades. I have two toddlers who will run after anything shiny. This has saved my kids from being on a Milk carton at least a dozen times. [/c]

When I was a child they were galled a harness. Yes my mother put one on me. :p

Safety before apperance .. ..

I remember working at a store. It was funny to see the 3 y.o. child trying to run.

Intelligent parents never do this😒. Pls grow up, we are human beings.

they work wonders for an unruly wife... ;)

Leashes and lazy parenting, and a laugh when the kid decides to sit on their little backsides on the ground and refuses to be moved. In my opinion no they are not useful at all.

Yes

Reigns. Used them with ours but my son would hang in them which was a pain lol

kidleash. I thought they were mostly a mock sort of thing.

as a father I never use that for my only daughter...

A dog harness

useless
