Toddler harness/backpack

[Fabooliss]

I'm looking for the Harness Buddy or a similar product, it is a monkey backpack that has a long tail you can hold onto. Anyone know where I can find one, either in a store or online in Canada?
I've tried our local Walmart, Sears, Zellers and ToysRUs and no one has them, or even seems to know what they are.
Thanks!

I have never seen one locally... check through ebay or us online baby retailers that could ship to you.

Thanks,
I've found them on Ebay and other online American stores, it'll cost me over $20US minimum and that's if we don't get dinged for customs at the border.
We were charged $20 on a $40 purchase once for customs, so I try to avoid bringing things over the border when I can.

Considering they sell for $10 at Walmart.com, I'm hoping to find one in Canada at a reasonable price.

I checked all over for one of these with no luck. Went the eBay route and the pack is great. It's a little backpack to him and a big piece of security for us. I recommend it.

UPDATE: It's driving me I've been to Walmart three times now looking. As well as every other store that could possibly have it.
I've had two different people tell me they've seen them at my local Walmart in the last week and tell me exactly where it is (two different places). So I make the trek into the Walmart just before Christmas when I've been otherwise done Christmas shopping for 2 weeks. I looked ALL over the place and still no backpack. Like I said...

New plan: Have one shipped to the Buffalo Walmart just before we go and pick it up on the way through when we fly out.

We got ours at walmart and it was in the weirdest place in the baby dept. ( like they were hiding it or something) Now DS is only 4 mos old but its so cute and well if he's anything like his 4 boy cousins he will walk for 2 days then run till he's 8. They only had 4 when we got ours last month and well I was there yesterday getting diapers and they didnt have any left.

In case anyone cares... my brother found it!!! YAY!!! After my Mom made several unsuccessful trips to her Walmart, he just walked in and picked one up for me.
So, yes, they are available in Canada, you just have to look in the right part of Walmart.
Where that is, I still don't know.

I bought one years ago at Once Upon A Child store....it's a high-end gently used children's shop in Mississauga. S

I'm not sure exactly, since I haven't got it from my brother yet, but it was around $15 I think.

Any chance on been able to post a pic of it when you get it. I'm thinking that I might be in need of something for my one year old at the time we go.

Thanks

Ooohh... a chance to use my new digital camera!

Sure thing... we're getting it the weekend of the 20th, so I'll post it sometime the next week.

Of course, if you search the American Walmart site for a "baby harness", you could also see it there, but then I don't get to use the camera!

I went to the American Walmart website and found it....it's so cute...but I still would love to see a picture of it with your digital. Plus on top of that you can tell me if it fits well on your child or if it's more of a headache than anything.
Thanks

Hi

We bought one at Target as soon as we arrived in Florida last month. $9.95. It is great.
