My dd is 12 so things have been upgraded a bit but we had a wrist attached harness that my DD loved to disconnect from her wrist when I wasn't looking so when we went to disney and I was distracted I would attach it to the back loop of her jeans no worries for me and freedom for her to "roam" yes I got the looks but I didn't care with so much going it was for my piece of mind that she was secure
I have never understood why some look down upon these safety devices. I realize more than ever now that I have twins what great invention these are.
That is a great tip to attach to belt loop! Thanks!
