Parenting Elsewhere

Yes. The trip south, via multiple flights and airports, was the one and only place I ever used a harness on any of my children. It was a pragmatic decision based on my inability to move quickly and my toddler's ability to do the opposite, and having no one else present to intervene in a public, unsafe place.

I only mentioned it because I think there are some circumstances where that type of restraint is in the best interest of the child; not because I think it should be the norm.
