>>My son too loved the leash too. We even put it on one of those retractable
thingys so that he could go a little further. We only used it in busy open
places like fairs and festivals. My daughter picked hers out before I even
knew what it was. It is a little monkey packpack that has a matching tether.
We haven't used it for anything more then a stuffed animal yet but then she
just began really wanting to walk around outside instead of riding the
stroller.<<

Our dd loved her leash as well. She has always been into animals. When she
was 2 she could make tons of animal sounds and did so frequently. I would
use a leash if I had to go to the mall or somewhere the possibility of her
getting away from me could happen. I lost her once in Dillards (a large
department store). In a blink she darted off and decided to play hide &
seek in the clothes rack. Nearly gave me a heart attack. I did not have
the choice of waiting until my DH got home to do my shopping nor did I have
family near to help out. My dh was in graduate school and working 2 jobs
for me to be able to stay home with our dd. So I did what I had to do.
However, all that to say...everytime I would put the leash on her (it was
the harness type) she would immediately start barking like a dog! People
passing by got a real kick out of it and some gave me the "look" as if I
wasn't a very good mom. We made it a game and had fun with it. I guess it
is all in how you treat it. By the time our younger dd came along I had
help and never had to use a leash with her.

Do they make these things for husbands? EVERY TIME we go shopping, he
sees someone he knows and they talk....and talk...and talk.
While I wait....and wait....and wait! LOL!!
