In 1980, I kept my 2-year-old at my side with a leash. I suppose that is considered abuse now.
I must say, he was very good at not getting eaten, until he was.
I have a 2 year old and use a panda harness if I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to hang onto his hand all the time.

Those belts can be so dangerous. Overweight bags could have fallen on him or the “kicker” could have kicked him onto another belt. He’s lucky a fractured hand was all he suffered. Many of us dream of riding those belts - until you see them in action. Inattentive mother, problem #1.
