This past weekend we used the leash on the ferry to Pender Island...it worked extremely well. Henry was able to walk (which he loves) and not be carried (which I hate). He was also good at following the leash. It kept him walking straight and prevented him from dashing away into a crowd.
I did get a lot of weird looks, but none of them were hateful. I'm not sure why we look down on leashing kids. Is it because you are supposed to be SO good a parent that you never take your eyes off of them? or that they listen 100% when they are young? I don't care how good of a parent you are, its hard to watch your kid in a busy situation. Why are people so judgmental of parenting?!?! Why!?!? (I'm shouting to the gods that be).
