3 in 1 Toddler Harness Leash + Baby Anti Lost Wrist Link, Accmor Cute Dinosaur Child Safety Harness Tether, Kids Walking Wristband Assistant Strap Belt for Parent Boys Outdoor Activity (Black)

It was cute and overall a great idea unfortunately my grandson is way too rambunctious and it just didnt work for us.

The backpack is adorable and everything worked. The only issue is that my 11 month old likes to run off…why I got it…and if I am using the bungee rope it kind of sling shots him back towards me if he gets too far. With the regular strap he usually just falls backwards. Hopefully it will get better as he gets older and gains weight.

Love it. 2nd time buying because I forgot to bring on trip!

So I have an Type 3 Autistic 6 year old son who is on the taller side size wise. He is as tall as our friends 8 year old and about the same weight. M loves to run. He is attracted to water, anything unique looking, and most dangerously like to run in parking lots. He is non verbal so we get little to no warning before he takes off. While ABA therapy is helping when he gets excited he wants to go go go. We used more toddler specific leads in the past out of safety concerns. The wrist style was too easy for him to MacGyver out of. Other backpack styles were meant for much smaller kids and while we were able to jerry rig extensions on they still rapidly became too small. We got this because the dimensions listed looked slightly larger and we thought why not give it a try. He loves it and so do we. M is 4ft tall and about 40lbs and he has room to grow in this. Elopement prevention is a huge concern in the Autism community. WE use a collection of tools from alarms, GPS devices, and social stories but sometimes safety dictates the need of something more hands on. With this backpack lead we can safely walk in a parking lot at the store and I know if he tries to run (oh and he will) it prevents him from getting into danger by getting too far away. I do not fear taking him out to stores (which he loves) with this since it is a tool in elopement prevention. Holding hands is not enough with a Special Needs child who is very mobile and very fast. This is a life and sanity saver.

Leash hooks onto harness at the lower body (close to hips) which I believe is the reason my 1 1/2 year old falls when it pulls him back. But it could just be he needs more body weight? I’m not sure. He weighs 31 pounds
