I like the design and thought. But it is just not functional in the manner that I needed it to be. We used it for about 3 trips through the store before it broke. My little girl is about 18 months old and about 22 lbs. She tripped which of course put a little bit of strain on the leash and it tore. It is more a of cute fashion toy for a kid to wear vs. a workable kid leash. If you wanted it just for that purpose I'd give it another star. If you want it as a leash, consider something more durable or maybe having the stitching reinforced.
