My Story

The Day That Changed Everything.

I am Maureen and I created the Tommi Guard Child Safety Harness.

        
While living in Los Angeles my husband and I frequented many of the popular tourist attractions with my toddler son.  One sunny Southern California afternoon we went to one of our favorite places with lots of restaurants and shops.  There are so many things to see and lights and activities so our son is quite entertained.  As usual it was very crowded which is challenging with a toddler.  He of course did not want to stay in his stroller and I, quite frankly wanted him out and about enjoying the day and not strapped to a chair with wheels.  So my husband and I would follow him and take his hand and then he would break free to investigate some colorful something and we would follow.  It was exhausting and a bit stressful at times but we only had one then.  I had seen several people especially from other countries with kids on tethers or "leashes" and thought "that's not a bad idea."  My heart stopped several times when my son was out of site for a moment in the crowd but then I would spot him and everything was fine.
Well that evening when we arrived home there was a story on the news about an attempted abduction of a toddler at the same location we were at that day!  I was stunned!  Riveted, my jaw dropped and I could not take my eyes off of the television as they played surveillance video from the place I had just been with my son.

I was shocked to see how easy it was.  An unsuspecting parent let go of their child for a moment, right next to them and a woman walked up and gently took the child's hand and started to walk away.  The child said nothing and went along.  It was horrifying.   Luckily a relative saw and screamed so the woman ran off and the child was safe.  

     

Well that was it.  I stood in front of the TV in shock and said, "that's it!  My child is going to be attached to me!" 

I went in search of a harness that would suit my needs and found nothing that would keep my child attached to me even if I needed to use my hands for a moment and looked fashionable.  I wanted it to blend in with my sons wardrobe and not stick out like a sore thumb, as they say.  I also did not want it to look like a toy.  No cartoons or crayon colors, unless they come into fashion.  We do research trends.  So when I could not find what I required I went to work to design it.

I have a long history in design.  I started sewing as a kid and designed gowns while in high school.  I went to Kent State University where I was the assistant to the Fashion Design School Teachers and ran the design lab.  I helped open the Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman Fashion Museum.  

Once I had perfected my Tommi Guard I started using it all over Los Angeles and was stopped everywhere.  "Where did you get that?"  "I need one of those."  and "I'll buy that off of you."  was what I heard.  and then the ultimate ladies, my husband turned to me and said, "you're on to something."  No kidding, Honey.

STYLISH!

At Tommiguard we aim to provide an attractive alternative to the traditional harness.  

Other harnesses are made of only webbing and look like restraining devices or dog leashes.  Or they have cartoons and stuffed puppies attached to them.  For years concerned Mommies were to self conscious to keep their child safe and close.  People stared at them.  

Our harnesses are designed to look good and compliment your child's wardrobe.

All of our webbing is made out of Black polypropylene to compliment all the fashion colors we choose for the harnesses.

 
The Stylish Choice!  This is the "Top of the Line" in Harnesses!  It looks like part of your child's wardrobe. Fabulous Colors!  Comfortable Fit!
