We have had this for a few months now and it has been great. When we go out on hikes, shopping malls, and anywhere else you may want your kids near by while walking on there own this is it. Most times our son just wears it and I fold the leash up into the little pouch on the back so I can grab it if he does run off. It has been very sturdy and works as a grab point to prevent falls. My son is about 25lbs and climbs every obstacle he sees. I have caught him by this pack mid fall a few times. Great product.

Love it and so does my son . He is a fast little guy so this harness is great cause I do not worry about him getting away from me when we are going to the park or if we out out for a walk . Is does not seem uncomfortable for my little guy and you can easily remove the leash so they can run and play and when its time to walk home you can easily re hook the leash . It has a small pocket on the back of the monkey but I have never used it . All an all Solid 5 star product ,

Cheers

Love this!!! My son is two. Took him to Disney and on a plane for the first time. He has a tendency to take off running. Oh what a "fun game"....for him.

This was perfect. It's cute...looks like a cute backpack, so u don't really notice the "leash". Acted like a pillow for him on the plane and gave ME peace of mind!!

It doesn't mean you don't still keep an eye on your child but it frees up ur hands and the constant worry. Disney was great, but PACKED!!!

I loooove this thing!

My family and I went to Disneyland and we has our little 16 month old girl too. She is running all over and we were a little worried about that being in the park so we bought this Harness. We were a little worried what she would do but when she saw it, she wanted to put it write on and never took it off! We were able to give her a little bit of room to run a little but keep her close as well which is really what we were expecting from this product. It was very cute and now that we are back, she'll wear it around the house and put her little toys in the pocket. This was a fantastic purchase and would recommend it to any parent that wants to keep their kids close but let them walk and enjoy their freedom a little too.

Like many of the reviewers here, I had plenty of reservations about the purchase of a harness for our 'speedy gonzales' 2 year old. Thankfully this lion harness has curbed our toddler's desire to run at high speed in the direction of moving traffic! The quality of the harness/backpack is good - its never going to be able to hold much but that's not the intention here. Our toddler loves it and actually (much to our huge surprise) requests to put the lion on when we go out. Hoorah. Its small enough to store under the stroller for when he wants to walk and get out, but not run at high speed away from us. A really good purchase and worth the money for the peace of mind.
