This was, by far, one of the
most pleasant internet
purchases I've ever made. I
went to the site Thursday
night (very late) to place
an order, and had a slight
difficulty with the
functionality of their
shopping cart, so I emailed
for help. I received
personalized assistance
within 24 hours and was
given a free item and rush
shipping, just for the brief
inconvenience I had
experienced. The package
went out Saturday morning!
Communication was terrific
(and fast), and I liked that
I was made to feel like a
person instead of a
nameless, faceless customer.
I will update my review as
soon as I receive my order,
to attest to the quality of
their product. They are a
family-run business, making
and selling baby harnesses,
something I feel strongly
that every parent of a
toddler should own in this
day and age.
Updated 4/10: I received the
harness on Monday after
placing the order on Friday
(kudos on speed!) It's a
really clever design (check
out the site) and as strong
and sturdy as anything I can
imagine. I like that you
adjust it once to fit the
child, then take it on and
off with ease (no re-fitting
every time). It comes in
tons of colors (tons). It's
reasonably priced. And it
may seem counter-intuitive,
but it's a HUGE positive
that it blends in, rather
than being in "kid" colors.
It's not covered with bright
blinding colors and prints,
or animals, or stuffed like
a backpack. My son would NOT
be able to ignore it and let
it be a HARNESS if it were
designed to catch his eye
and entice him to PLAY with
it. That's one of the huge
benefits of this harness.
TommiGuard is the only child
harness I found that met ALL
of my requirements for a
harness (and then some --
the Mom belt is a step above
and beyond what I had
constructed in my mind, but
is GREAT). I'm thrilled with
it. I also very much like
that it's cool -- you won't
have to worry about your
little one sweating to death
in this in the summer, and
obviously it's no problem
for winter to fit over
whatever they're wearing. My
little man LOVES the new
freedom he's gotten now that
he has it, and there is no
price you can put on the
peace of mind MOM has now
that I never have to turn
around, panic and feel my
heart stop beating when I
can't lay eyes on him for 2
seconds. I tell you this is
one indispensable piece of
gear for an active young
toddler. Absolutely top
score from me.
