You guys have made some interesting points. I guess I could see why someone would use them if they had a hyperactive child and they were preventing them from running in the street. That's reasonable.

I know most won't care, but what did you guys think of the one that Kate Gosselin used when the show was Jon and Kate plus 8?

I can see why they needed that one. They're trying to keep 6 little ones together and the twins close by.

Fine by me! I just went back and re-read all the Disney posts and realized they were all from you. I thought more people had chimed in.

I really have to wonder what kind of parent would leave a 2 year old at home with a sitter while taking the older one to Disneyland. I don't need an answer to that. I'm just imagining my reaction if I had a friend actually tell me they were doing that.

FWIW I DID wait until mine were 4 and 6 and no harness or stroller was needed.

It was practical for their needs. The kids weren't actually attached to it, though. It just gave them each a place to hold on to and stay in line.

one that cares about their childs safety,well being and happiness. And for the record if my family had a child that young NONE of us would be going. But then again I dont plan on anymore children so all I have to worry about is the one.

nope the little boys mom finally stepped up and became a mom (LONG LONG STORY if youd like to know it I can dm you) so now we only have him on the weekends. But if we went he would prob come too but they are gonna be less than a year apart so the age difference should not be a problem.

It's good I guess, as long as she doesn't flake out.
