A Baby Can Explore in Safety Using a Leash
by Carrie
Using an inexpensive baby leash that your baby will love is a great idea!
Safety always should come first and a baby can explore in safety using a leash, harness or a wrist restraint and feel more independent. Parents with a toddler or who are managing more than one child are smart to get one and use it on outings.
It is amazing how fast a toddler can go zipping across a parking lot and get away from you. They are not tall enough to be seen over the hood of a car and would be difficult for drivers looking for parking spaces to notice.
Chasing a fast moving toddler across the parking lot would not only put a child at risk but the parent! Using a leash system is the best way to keep a toddler close and under supervision while allowing them to stand and walk on their own.
I have seen parents chasing a toddler who pulled away and ran into traffic and it is a horrible sight especially in a busy parking lot with lots of cars. I would definitely get one for my daughter while she is still learning how to safely cross streets and to watch for cars in parking lots.
A baby can explore in safety using a leash and play and learn about the world around them but even with the leash parents can't let their guard down.
Children have minds of their own but sadly, they have no sense of danger. They simply don't have the maturity to control their actions. Parents must be control until they learn HOW to be safe in all situations. This type of baby gear creates a controlled environment during the learning process.
Moms and dads need to be aware that the biggest heartbreak of a lifetime would be for their child to be injured and know that they could have prevented it for just a few dollars! A devastating accident that took place in an instant could have lifelong effects. Be smart; buy a harness and forget about the criticism.
