I wanted it to work but for my DS it didn't - he didn't want to hold my hand, the stroller or the strap (like you showed).

I have no experience with the handle, but our rules are that he has to stay close i.e. right next to me or holding on to the stroller on the sidewalk/indoors, and if we are crossing the street or in a parking lot he MUST hold my hand or he gets strapped into the stroller. Having a really simple cars=hand rule seems to work well for us.

ETA: I wouldn't trust a 17 month old to not let go of the handle...

When my daughter doesn't want to hold my hand, I sincerely doubt she would agree to hold onto this handle. Then again, she might. Toddlers are so finicky, you just never know!

We have one of those. We have never used it in the street/traffic but it works well in the store. I attach it to the cart and he has the option to hold it and walk or sit in the cart. In the street/parking lot he MUST hold our hand or we will hold onto him (occasionally I put my hand on his head). We let him run crazy on a side walk.
