Maybe they have something that would work for you. http://www.childharness.ca/2strap.html Hi Mary Beth,

I need one for my 9 yr old daughter - she's autistic, and taking to bolting lately. I'd appreciate it if you let me know of any brands, I can only find toddler sizes...

I am a scottish lady, currently living in France, you may wonder as to the significance of my nationality in relation to this topic...generally in Great Britain it's common practice for mothers to use safety harnesses, all my friends and family do, although whilst I currently live in France, it's the opposite, and boy do we get some stares from the frenchies. Frankly, I don't give a damn what they think, my daughters safety is far more important!! Yes, she's a runner too! In my experience, people will and do make all sorts of judgements on everything we do, especially as mothers, rise above those who have little else in their own life that they have to make comment on everyone else! Izzy,

If you have more than one child, or can't run fast enough to catch your running kid, or you have to be carrying other things, or are in a very crowded place. Don't worry about the looks. They clearly have no idea what it is like to have an active child.
