Having twins, difficult to walk by giving a hand to both: one wants to go to the right and one left. When I get to the bakery, so I let the hand of one of them to pay for the bread, he does not hesitate to "escape". In short, the lanyards are long enough to give them the freedom to walk alone (they love!) While ensuring that they can get away with more than 1.50 meters from me. I feared a little the eyes of others but their safety is paramount. I am also surprised to hear finally with memories of older people who tell me that they too had used a similar option with their children. I have two harness patterns, one in the form of fluff and thereof. My children love as much as the other. The advantage of it is that it can store the hat or scarf or blanket or towel if necessary.
