The question pretty much speaks for itself. So what is your opinion on it, and give the reason.
Mike, every child is a flight risk. Try shopping with a 3 year old by yourself.
Mike just shut up. I asked about your view on putting the kids in a harness, not bias info that you claim as facts or a rant about how you feel about other parents using them. If you feel like you are in control of your kids 100% of the time you are naive. I don't give a damn if you agree with them or not, but keep non accurate facts and hate speech to yourself.
Answer
Before having kids I said "No way, that's horrible!!", now after having kids YES YES YES!!! My kids do not want to ride in a stroller, they want to be able to walk around like me and they don't want to hold hands. I would NEVER let them just walk along side me becuase there is no way you can keep your eye on them and where you're walking. No a-days with all the creeps and kidnappings going on I wouldn't risk it. Also my kids things backpacks are the coolest thing ever. They get to wear a backpack, and not hold my hand and I have super close to me and I'm still in control. It's a win win!
If any of you trust a 2 year old to know their own boundries you are a complete moran!!! Kids get constanly distracted and that's a lot of responibility to give a toddler and a HORRIBLE lack of intelligence on the parents part. So are you saying if the child doesn't listen and sneaks off and you don't notice (don't tell me it's not possible because you cannot have your eyes on more than one child at the exact time and it only takes ONE second) that it would be the childds fault because they weren't being responsible? I wouldn't use one at the park or grocery store but at a Fair or mall, YES YES YES. You are making your children easy targets by being so trusting in them. That's a personal call though, I'm doing what is best for MY family and we are all happy. I've got the happiest kids in the world and I have no worries when we go anywhere. It's people like you guys that are so trusting of toddlers and the rest of the world that wind up with missing kids. If you can handle your consequences than good for you. I can guarentee you will eat your words someday thought!
Again if you trust a 2 year old to walk beside you IDIOT! Sorry, but it's true. You cannot possibly be looking down at them at all times and be looking forward to walk, lets be honest. If you are comfortable with that good for you. I'm not, I'd rather not have someone snatch my children up! It takes ONE second for someone to grab your child and run and you're left standing there like the idiot you are. If they agree to hold your hand the entire time that's great. Mine don't. They are great kids and very adventurous, which is awesome! Clearly your children are insecure so maybe you should be concerned about that. Most 2 year olds want to run around and check things out.
@Cassy - I totally agree with not giving him his way. If he does that I will totally strap him in and let him cry it out, my problem is the stares/comments from people who don't have children. It's not really a problem for me because I know he's fine and just having a fit and I don't want to set a tone that he can "win" the battle and get his way. I got the backback/leash as a way to try and give him a taste of what it's like to walk and then I'm hoping I can teach him to stay close with it then I can work on it without. It's so hard for him to sit still and I try to do those certain activities without him anyways because I know he doens't want to sit still but sometimes I just can't. I either put the backpack on right when we get out of the car or I don't use it at all. I never let him walk, then use it as a threat or let him scream in the stroller/cart and then let him use the backpack. It's he wears it from the start and behaves or he goes in the stroller period. I just hate that some people don't get that kids throw fits! I am 5 feet tall and a tiny person so I look way younger than I am and people comment that I'm less qualified for being "young" which is not that case. I'm a fabalous mother and I'm not too young to have 2 kids. I guess my insecurites revolve around the way people view me rather than my parenting. But I will never let him have the final say even if I'm embarrased because I won't set that tone. I apprecaite your answer!

What do girls in highschool use as 'backpacks'?
Dat One Gi
I don't have any other girls to really ask. I'm going into grade 9 which is the start of highschool in Canada.
I'm not sure what to be looking for as a book bag. I was told bigger is better from many older kids- my brother and his friends.
I was thinking 3 main ideas- [tote, messanger, or normal back pack]
1st- www.coach.com/online/handbags/-poppy_purses-10551-10051-5000000000000189652-en?t1Id=5000000000000032004&t2Id=5000000000000189652&tier=2&LOC=LN#105017
The Poppy signature glam tote
2nd- www.dakine.com/p/bags/messengers/2012-winter-girls/12w-taylor < in any other color than black.
3rd- www.sparepartslife.com/backpacks/burton/day-hiker-pk-20l.html < something like this, not sure about any of these colors but I've seen different ones.
So I guess what's more in style and useful. It's for 2012-2013 school year.
Thanks :)

Answer
Everyone generally uses a backpack, but some girls use totes, too. I don't really see a lot of messenger bags.
Out of the three, I think the most in style would be the first one. However, it'd be really hard to carry/use after a while because it'll get really heavy. As a second choice, I'd choose the messenger bag because it's easier to use. Your shoulders won't hurt as much, and it's not entirely bad-looking. I don't really like the backpack though, it doesn't seem like it's for school, lol.
Ultimately, what I would suggest is to pick a backpack. It's the easiest to use, and can carry the most stuff. Get it in a cute design, and don't get it in a humongous size because it'll look scary. For example, I have a really cute taupe-ish leather backpack, and it's average sized. It's perfect! :)
