Child Leash: should I get one? Opinions wanted

As most of you know, I'm going on a trip, in 2 days. And as most of you know, airports can get busy.

So I was wondering, should I get a leash for my 2 year old? I don't want to lose her at the airport while I'm trying to check in or while I'm tying my shoe or something like that.

I won't use it other than being at the airport.

With all these missing kids, a leash seems like a good idea.








Anywhozzils I just wanted your opinion.

Thanks!

Sarah

We all get to be difficult about something.
Who said anything about a five year old? Her girl is two.

I wouldn't put a five year old in a stroller.

If the leash eases your mind, muddy, the get it ! Airports are very stressful fo rmoms and little ones at the best of times.

i just thought of another idea for you..

dress her in bright clothes..or if she will wear a distinctive cap or hat...the colours will stand out and catch your eye if she strays to far.

stripes or dots,something that will stand out.

20 hours later... here I am in Hudson's Hope B.C.

I AM tired!

I left to Toronto from Windsor at midnight, then my flight left at 7ish and from Edmonton I took the plane to Grande Paririe and now I'm in Hudson's Hope -- FEWF

By the way, the airport was not even busy, I had the harness on her and it was just pointless she still wanted me to hold her hand. So I held her and and took the backpack/harness off and let her run around.

It was easy breezy. I'm supa tired though

hey hon. i say yes. i accually prefer them to the wrists ones cause i feel safer knowing that if someone does try to snatch my daughter up and run off with her, and it jerks the strap, i knwo it will grab her body and not grab and possibly injure her wrist. you know?

*EDIT* sorry hon i did that mistake that eveyrone hates and i replied before reading other replys. gladl you guys made it safe!

It happens more often than you'd think. I'ts really unfortunate. there's lists and lists of missing people starting at any age, mostly young. It's really sad.
