This review is from: 2 – in – 1 Harness Buddy – Monkey (Baby Product)
I got this for my 2 1/2 year old son when I lost him in a store for 20 minutes. He loves backpacks, so it wasn’t hard to get it on him the first time. When he is in a good mood he loves to have someone hold his “tail”. When he is in a bad mood he knows his choice is to be in the cart or wear monkey. Having a choice is important for a 2 year old. I have used it for about 4 months and even when he pulls on it hard (trying to get away) nothing has torn. I would buy another if this one ever broke. The comments I get from strangers is “that is such a good idea”. The “tail” is easy to clip on and off when it isn’t needed.

This review is from: 2 – in – 1 Harness Buddy – Monkey (Baby Product)
Before a recent trip to Disney World we decided to look into a child harness for our 2 year old. We knew that we might draw some stares, but we knew that there were going to be crowds and our 2 year old likes to take off, so this was not a tough decision.
We considered a number of different harnesses, but decided on this one because of other reviews and because we thought it looked great.
Our daughter was hesitant to wear the “monkey” at first, but we started planting the seed ahead of time by having her wear it around the house. We also played games with her where we would chase her and then gently tug at the harness to get her used to the idea.
Once we got to Disney World we did end up using the harness and it came in handy. There were times we would allow her to roam free without the harness when the crowds were not as abundant. However, when the crowds started to come we would use the harness. Our overall impression was that the harness did exactly what we expected. It kept our daughter from getting too far ahead. We got a lot of compliments on the harness and we had a number of people ask us where we purchased the harness. Also, there were many other parents using harnesses and this harness seemed to be the most popular.
Overall, I would have given the harness 5 stars except for one simple fact, you don’t have too much control over steering your child unless you decided to yank them around. I’m not exactly sure what could be done to overcome that issue, but that was the only real issue I saw while using the harness. With that said I would definitely recommend this to any parent who is worried about their little one running off.

Great way to keep track of a toddler,
