Now that, I didn't know. I'd have thought they'd use something sturdier than Velcro! Now I see why you're pro-harness - I take it they fasten a little more securely? I wish there were something in-between - something that kids can't escape from too easily but that's not as, well, "harness-y" as a harness.

I'm still hoping that my hypothetical future children won't be bolters and that the "invisi-leash" will work most of the time (I'd like to think I learned a few things from mom ). I guess we will just have to see.
