Poll: The baby leash

Now that Grace is becoming mobile, a whole new scary world is opening up to us. When we're out shopping, Grace willingly stays in her stroller/cart and we are able to go about our shopping and actually really enjoy the experience. But now, Grace is going to want to walk around...OMG. Am I going to be one of those frazzled mom's running after their screaming baby in the Target?!?!? We've all seen those mom's and perhaps chuckled a bit at their misfortunes but is this my destiny? Will Target never be the same? Ok, so that's a bit dramatic. But, their is a very real safety question here.

Yesterday David and I were at Babies R Us finally buying baby proofing devices when I came across THE BABY LEASH! At first I laughed but then I began to think about all the benefits of owning such a device. I will admit that I used to laugh at people who put their baby on a (uh-hum) leash but I have to not judge a parent...we do what we can to make easier. So readers, what do you think? Should I purchase the baby leash? Here's a pic for those of you who do not have children and have no flippin' clue what I'm talking about:

Absolutely. They are convenient for you, and hilarious for the rest of us.

Hey! We just got our internet fixed and first of all you sent me the BEST present eva....seriously needed to thank you before my "formal" thank you card. That was so incredibly thoughtful of you. Second of all, I was so excited to get all of the updates on Grace and LOVE all the videos! Third of all, I do what you do. So if you get a dog leash for your child....so will I. (so please dont :) But thanks SO much again, and can't wait for the big day!

Love,
