Feh. You guys that are anti-leash don't get it.
Babies--defined as children under the age of three-- are untamed little creatures--some until later ages than others--no matter how much *training* you give them.
Some kids are walking at age one. A child restraint device is used to protect a child, much like safety seat in a car. A harness is nowhere as restrictive as a car seat btw; being in one of those is like being entombed--but I digress.
One simply cannot keep one's eyes glued to a child and do anything else, i.e. shop & pay for groceries, etc.
Over-use of the leash is not cool, but if you gotta get a job done--and a stroller isn't appropriate/available then put the harness thingie with the *leash* on the kid, and be safe.
