Child leashes FTL.

[djheater]

They give me the uncomfortable feeling that I'm viewing a sitcom where child leashes are going to figure into a plot point.

We've never used or needed one, perhaps we simply don't have children that would require one, or perhaps we parent in a style and have changed our socialization routines in such a way (not going to the mall without a stroller, for example) that we wouldn't require them.

In fact I'm wondering what my outlook would be if the sales pitch went:
"Walking strollers, so your children get more exercise! Fight the obesity epidemic"

I recommend them. I used one (at times) from when my son started walking (9 months) until he was stable (around 1 1/2 years). They're way better at stopping them from falling over and smacking their heads than what you can do by chasing them around -- this does not mean that the leash is on tension all the time, it means that you can tense it up much faster than you can run over and prevent said kid from smacking his head on the concrete.

Apparently a lot of ATOT posters didn't have this advantage when they were growing up.

if people are so concerned about their child running away from them then maybe they should check their parenting skills.

Hell yeah. The leash worked on Cartman, and if it helps him it can help any child.
