* Some parents ignore their kids when they are in a harness so the kids take things from shelves and generally run amok within their space. IMO this is poor parenting...
* Some people dont bother to teach to thier kids road safety coz they figure they are safe enough in a harness so when they go out without the harness, the kid runs off.
So generally the rules are:
1. A harness is not a substitue for parental supervision
2. A harness is a safety device not a fail safe so please teach your kids to hold your hand/pram WHILE using a harness.
3. Bad parenting is not ok even in a harness!
