Does your toddler run off a lot?

Using toddler reins (or leashes) can feel like a pretty divisive parenting strategy for stopping little ones from running off.

People tend to take issue with the fact you’re putting a lead on your child, a bit like you would a dog. But if your young child is a “runner”, then is it really so bad to want to keep them safe?

A parent recently took to Reddit to ask everyone’s opinions on using reins for a toddler to stop them from bolting when they’re out and about.

“My almost 2 year old is on the move constantly and she hates being in a cart or stroller. I never wanted to or thought I’d be the person considering the toddler leash but I think it would give me some sense of security with her,” said jaycienicolee.

“She thinks it’s hilarious to run away and not listen when we call her back or chase after her.”

What are reins?

Reins are a bit like a dog lead that’s attached to either........
