Alternatives to a leash...

[tianna26]

We used a backpack harness similar to this one. DD loved the freedom of being able to walk and we loved being able to keep her close by. She loved that her backpack looked just like Daddy's.

I had a runner once. I bought her a bright pink leash/harness. I took her out in public and politely told her to stay with mommy. She smiled sweetly and took off the first chance she got. I planted my feet and let her get as far as the leash allowed. When she ran out of leash she landed flat on her butt. She never ran again.

NOW THAT WAS FUNNY!

I googled stroller handle for kids and came across Hold-On Handles.

I just purchased something similar to this at Buy Buy Baby to use this next month. They had about 4 different designs. I paid 19.99 before the coupon was taken off. I hope this helps you. Good luck!
