Have you seen these? Monkey Buddy harness for toddlers. They are a safety device. A backpack style monkey. Please give me your honest feedback...
I have seen them on many different occasions. The beauties are entering that "I want to be a big girl" stage. They love to walk, and be free of the stroller. Which is great, I am happy about it. However, when I am by myself, it is very difficult to hold three toddlers hands, and they aren't very good at keeping a hold of each others. Especially with Chloe being in school everyday. They would hold her hand most of the time. But...when we are out and about, it makes me so nervous that one of them will let go and run across the street.
We have three monkey packs, but have not used them yet. I need some feedback. I would never want to make it seem like I am treating my beauties like I am a dog-walker.
Please give me your honest opinions.

We used one for Bel when she was in the darting stage...i always said 'i'd never' but when it came down to it her safety was more important. Now that she listens and follows direction we don't use it nearly as often ( still do in large crowds etc) so if it works for you and allows you to get out then I say go for it!
First of All: Thanks so much for finding me and enjoying!
Second of all: My monkey backpack is a life saver! I only get compliments on it!
My 2 year loves her "monkey backpack". It has been a life saver at the zoo.
She loves it so much we take the harness strap off and she wears it as a backpack at home.
Okay, brutally honest. I never liked them. I can't really put my finger on why. Even now that Tessa loves to run away from me, I would never see myself using one.
That said, I've never seen one of those on multiples. If I did, I would completely understand. One toddler darting away is one thing, three darting in three different directions, quite another.
So that's my wishy washy response. :)
I'm with Meleah...although I don't see myself using one, you are in a whole different ball-game with multiples! With 3 two-year olds you are entitled to do whatever works! Let us know if you try it. :)
I love your blog! your girls are beautiful!! I am thinking about using those for my twinkies!
