This infuriates me!!!!!
Whatever. These leashes saved my life when I was about 2. I’m all for it. It’s not like you’re using it the entire child’s life. It’s very helpful for kids toddlers.
There has GOT to be a better way of doing this?
Until you have a kid who takes off like a bat out of hell but quietly you’ll have no idea how much of a godsend these things are and as another stated they really can and do save the lives of children such as the escape artists or the child molester wannabe below.
Understood, however, when the child runs forward, and the “leash” is pulled tight and the child get yanked backwards? That cannot be good….I am thinking future Back Problems?
Not really. When I was about 2 my mother (along with my twin and my youngest sister in a carriage) were walking along the sidewalk. I happened to stray into the street. Kids tend to be curious and wander around. It’s very difficult to keep multiple kids to stay on the sidewalk, especially at ages of 4 and under.
Anyway, a bus happened to be storming by. Alarmed, my mother pulled my child-leash and brought me back to the sidewalk. Only back problems I have are from standing on my feet for 12 hour shifts at my part-time job (during weekends).
I was on a leash up to my 5th birthday (or somewhere there abouts) and looking back, it was a wonderful idea. I was a terror in shopping malls and K-mart, and I’m sure the leash saved my life on a number of occasions.
Both of my nephews have been on leashes (one still is sometimes, if he’s being a turd) and it seems to have no ill effect. All parents should have them, especially these days (most people shouldn’t be reproducing, have no responsibility, and don’t know how to raise children.)
Buy a leash, Spank and park your kids, and reward them for good behavior. Encourage them, and be supportive and helpful.
hahahahahahahaha
I like the ones that look like a cute backpack…because apparently they think it looks less like you have your child on a leash.
The kids love the backpacks. My kid tells me that I need to remember to bring the monkey when we leave the house
I don’t see what the problem is, at least they’re making sure their kids don’t get lost! The FACT that so many people were overweight in those pics is more of a problem then a toddler leash.
As a pedophile, I hate these leashes. They make it so difficult to abduct children who like to wander from their parents.
You know what thats not even funny in the least so how about I cut your asshole out of your butt and stitch weld it to your upper lip so you can smell just how much of a shit head you really are.
no sir that was pretty funny. You however should get the large object removed from your anus. OR GET OF THE FUCKING INTERNET AND GET A SENSE OF HUMOR. Bill you just added yourself to thechive shitlest along with xclusive02. He is a huge chode good luck catching up to him
I think they are a great idea. I especially like the little monkey back pack one….
LOL a monkey on the kids back…. LOL
too true, stranger, too true..now if they could just make them electric, they could zap your ass as soon as you get the kid……
see ya wigglin around on the ground, with the kid laughin at ya…
wooo hooooooo
It is not bad parenting to use a tether. When you have lost your child in a crowd you will understand the sense of these things. When people drag their kids by the leash (or the arm/leg) that is bad parenting.
It’s one thing to insure your kids won’t get lost and fall to “the stranger”.
I think these are a great idea! They keep your child right with you and you know if they aren’t because the rope tugs at you, and you know they aren’t able to run off. I think it’s a great idea too. And it’s a great way to keep creepers like “the Stranger” from taking your kids.
I think I win because I was never put into one of these.
I don’t see what the big deal is. People grow up and pay good money to be put on a leash.
Until you’ve had a 2 yr. old dash across a busy parking lot (as you’re trying to take his infant sister from her car seat), you may not truly appreciate these things. But once you’ve had something like that happen, you will see them in a whole other way! Proper nannies in Britain always use the leash; they’re excellent safety equipment! Just think about it: would you take your precious toy poodle to a mall crawling with potential dog-nappers without either carrying her or keeping her on a leash? Why wouldn’t you afford your child the same security/protection?
seems like a good idea unless the kid copies a dog and cocks his leg on a lampost
I guess I am in the minority. I hate these things. I was given one when I was pregnant with our first child. I tried it at the mall when they were just starting to walk really well.
I hated putting it on my kid and the kid hated wearing it. I never used one again.
I’d rather put them in the stroller, hold their hand, or carry them. Leashes are for dogs IMHO. We do things to/for dogs that we would never do to/for a child. Leashes are in that category.
pay attention to your kid! hold their hand in public! take some effing responsibility! WTF!
youre comparing your child to a toy poodle? wtf is wrong with you people? keep an eye on your kid if you take them out in public. be a gd parent!
Pretty funny its only white people who use this
If you look closely you’ll see that some of the children appear to be Black or Oriental in their genetic make up.
How do I submit pictures? I went to the zoo a couple weeks ago and have three different mothers with kids on leashes. This shit is a joke. Learn to control your damn kid.

I’ve been having a chuckle at the people shouting “control your kid”, etc. It’s called “good parenting”. Go and read Professor Winston’s theories and come back with a vaild argument.
It’s not bads parenting at all… It’s simply taking care of your kids. Remember, people: They are kids. They don’t have the “malice” to get away from possible hazardous situations. Their attention gets caught on the simplest things. And if that thing is across the street… they will run for it. And in that PRECISE monent, you turn your head the other way because somene bumped you in the street….
Yes, it’s hard for that to happen, but it does happen. That’s why those things are called “accidents”. They happen with no reason at all and in a second.
I’m in for the use of this ones. I do have a five-month-old baby and when she grows up, she’ll have one of those for sure.
For those with the “learn to control your kids”/ “take responsibility”/ etc. comments, I guess you don’t have kids. Or you’re a very judgy parent. Either way, you probably do other stuff some parents wouldn’t approve so shut it.
My child has one that I use for when we’re in airports. If said toddler were at gate and you, the very uncomprehensive/ judgy person/ just-not-a-kid-type, were sitting there minding your own business, I think you’d appreciate that the kid is restrained and not running around trying to grab stuff, crawling under your seat or doing something else you’d surely complain about.
Its also hard to walk around crowded places with luggage, a stroller and a child that no longer wants to sit still. So something like the leash makes it easier to let them walk without them running off and having to leave your stuff mid aisle.
Either way, I guess someone will raise their eyebrow and go “tsk, tsk”. I’m sure you always floss and recycle perfectly, too.
Either the parent does not believe in holding their own childs hand,and/or teach them with words not to do this or that or don’t go there But then there’s always the possibility of kiddie panhandlers in training..”Heylook ma/pa i found a nice shiny heads up lincoln and look only using one hand like that pickpocket training video we watched yesterday” shshshshshss,aw kids wil say the darndest things, but there’s an Art to it,possibly a link,and heres my letter.This is as bad as the new parents today bouncin their baby’s head and neck side to side in those big ol’ car seat/baby carriers Its selfish and no physical contact like cuddeling your child, carrying or for the childs sake holding on to their little hand,to take a walk,seems to have gone out of style with the class of Love,I bet these are some of the same people that pack there pooch in a coach purse too, not to get off track…but whats next a bungie cord or one of those control-the-length leashes they sell at pet stores. I don’t know but seems like its a whole new leash on life to me ,Hey anyone agree with me or if you’d like to indulge in the matter at hand lol would appreciate your input. Lise’it like it is@ChachachaChive Talkin’ P.S. and with all due and the utmost respect to Mr. Art Linkletter whose variety show was a regular on the tube in my household growing up..and actually miss it. Those were the days I took tap dancing class through one of his studios at age 6 peritty coool huh?!
Haha, when I was a toddler my mom bought one of these leashes. She put it on me while we were still in the mall and I made such a scene yelling my lungs off that she had to return it baha. I was pretty well behaved though so my mom didn’t need it, but I can see how some kids are more adventurous than others.
I understand the need for the leash with some of the younger kids, but some of those kids are too old not to understand the reason why they shouldn’t be randomly wandering off into the street. After a certain point it does turn into lazy parenting.
