I understand that itâs now OK to do this - apparently having the kid on a leash/harness means they âcan explore their world with both handsâ rather than going through life with one hand raised up above their head in their motherâs grasp. Apparently the leash/harness is good for brain development and posture. Iâm from the first generation where such harnesses were not OK (the Dr Spock baby in person), and I sorta kinda get where theyâre coming from. Also a less stressed mum.

Mine were, lol⌠both were pretty keen on doing a runner as soon as they were released from the confines of a stroller/car/parent, and I had foot issues after the 2nd pregnancy (plantar fasciitis for example) so i didnât fancy my chances of hobbling after them. My chase-hobbling looked like a John Cleese silly walk on speed so the cuddly toy baby leash backpack was employed. When my mum passed away and I was clearing out the cupboards I found a 70s baby leash with parental wrist strap⌠looks like the apple didnât run far from the tree đ

My kid was too. Not because she was a runner but because little kids arms get tired from having their arm raised so if she did let go I still had control over her movements.

Excuse my brain: John Cleese & Bill Nighy silly walk stalking toddlers to an Attenborough overdub
He peers at it with bulging eyes and an over extended neck The toddler scones itâself on a coffee table in the fourth suicidal attempt since teatime. One male prances in a hopefully distracting manner, while the other juggles 28 cleaning products. There has been an incident, he must evolve or nobody is getting a pretty blue thing.
