When he was young, my older brother wore braces. He grew up with straighter teeth. It was much better than if my parents had simply put a bag over his head. You've given me insight into the benefits of harnessing children. It keeps them safe and gives them a relative degree of freedom and healthy exercise. Good for you!
Exactly. Why is it people have a tendency to see a child being gently protected by wearing a harness as threatening over the tendency to accept the more complicated wheeled contraptions as positive?
I am currently looking for a harness to pull one of our aging Malamutes on walks. She enjoys pack walks and responds enthusiastically to being pulled. My children are all old enough to walk without the safety of harnesses, lol.
Do you have any idea what this song means to me. Sang it constantly as my world descended into Hell. Thirty days and thirty nights of intractable seizures with all the attendant medical miracles. A veteran at that descent and reemergence.

This is why the Truly Progressive parents keep them on leashes.
I used to have a harness for my child when going up busy streets.
People used to mock me, but I knew that was much better life experience, and fitness, than being strapped into a stroller.
Freedom is what we learn to make it. What others think of our freedom isn’t important. It’s what we think of it.
A lot of the children in pushchairs were given chippies or whatever because they were bored.
My child on reins was neither fat nor bored. ( I note that I am still defensive, how embarrassing.)

Are the birds free from the chains of the skyway? (Ballad in Plain D).
No one is free.
Yes, but some are freer than others, lol.

Thanks, a bit less sentimental.
Sorry, you triggered a song.

That was excellent. Put a big smile on my dial while enjoying morning coffee.
Kill, Carlton, kill!
Nice change from reading about *vaccine* adverse events.
But maybe you are working up to that for Hudson.
Is this a wee bit Animal Farm.
