What do you think about baby harnesses

Never thought I’d use reins, always disliked them but now my son is walking everywhere, I couldn’t be without them. I have childhood trauma re abduction so having him attached to me by a strap rather than just holding hands makes me feel like he’s that bit safer. He also explores everywhere so managing to keep him from straying too far without having to grab him/stop him, is nice! X

I use them because his walking is still wobbly and he falls a lot especially in wellies! Better to hold the strap to catch than his hand, nursemaids elbow is a really common injury and I don't fancy a trip to hospital to get his elbow relocated 🤣

I have seen little backpacks that have a strap attached to them, so they can put a couple of toys in the bag and you don’t have to use the strap/harness bit unless you’re somewhere dangerous.
Good to get them used to carrying they’re own stuff young too!

ooo thank you I’ll take a look at them x

I’ve just brought trunki ones, they have a sale on and they are padded at the front with a good fastening at the back

We used a Little Life backpack with a strap for my son - he loved his turtle backpack!

We’ll be using it with baby girl too as she’s a runner and will definitely be off as soon as we get her out of the buggy 😂

We don't have one yet but they are a great safetly tool. I think they are ideal to make sure baby can't just run off. I think for things like at a zoo them walking next to you with safety reigns so you can keep them close is great but walking on the pavement by the road or crossing the road or in busy places than it is a hand hold with the handle to hold incase they make a run for it.
