It is another way to provide more yesses. He can walk or run and not get too far away. He won't always have to be carried or in a stroller. I wasn't sure I would be a fan, but he likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236155 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:41:59 +0000 Sammyfab 236155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely use a harness if LO ends up being a running tyrant! I am also all about semantics so I would refer to it as a harness and not a leash :). </p> <p>(it's like how my mil calls my dog's collar a choker and his crate a cage...we don't have a wild animal as a pet!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236147 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:37:56 +0000 chopsuey 236147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only in super crowded areas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236120 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:29:35 +0000 Alivoo01 236120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be open to it if we're going to an extremely populated place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236111 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:27:43 +0000 MaisyMay 236111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both agree that a leash will be okay. Before I saw how active my nephew is, I thought they were horrid, now I'm all over the idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236104 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:26:16 +0000 BSB 236104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: @Honeybee: I wonder if it's a guy thing. Why are they so anti-leash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236088 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:21:36 +0000 Honeybee 236088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think leashes are fine but DH is really against them, so it's a no-go for our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236076 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:18:53 +0000 BSB 236076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Oh, I don't watch Modern Family but I want to. I need to get him to see that episode. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236075 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:18:40 +0000 mediagirl 236075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan of high heels over leashes. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236071 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:17:25 +0000 lemondrop 236071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a leash fan having worked at a zoo and found countless lost kids. I was also a wanderer as a kid, so I assume our son will be too. </p> <p>My husband is hugely anti-leash. I made him watch the Modern Family last season when they go to Disney. It was hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236069 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:16:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 236069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm at disney, or my kid is a spirited child who does not listen, I would do it. Otherwise it's a no for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leash-or-no-leash#post-236063 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:14:37 +0000 BSB 236063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm open to using a leash or backpack leash for our kids at crowded events.</p> <p>DH... not so much. He has had friends tell him that he should be open to it and to wait til he has kids to turn it down. </p>
