    Ever Seen A Harness For 5 Kids?

    Hello,

    The daycare that my daughter used to go to used to have an alligator that had straps to strap in each child. Then an adult walked in the front or middle. So the kids could get used to walking together. Would love to buy something like that for my daycare kids. They are all around 18 months to 24 months. Would be perfect to get them walking but be able to keep them together.

    Anyone see anything like that for sale? I've seen separate harnesses but dont' think that would work.

    Thanks

    I have the same one you are talking about, but I don't think that it would work with such young children.

    I have a 4 seat buggy that I used for children under 2.

      With separate you would look like you were walking a pack of kids! ::

        Where did you get it from? Have you seen them online? I don't plan to go far with the kids. But a good way to get them started. All of them are closer to 24 months. Definitely good walkers.

          I loved those harnesses to use with my twins. But over 2 kids would never work.

            I think they are called a Walk-o-dile??? I have been thinking of something similar too.

              I am looking into a walk-a-dile. The concept is similar to a harness.

                  Discount School Supply sells the walk-o-dile, but it's expensive! Maybe you can find it on Amazon or Ebay cheaper.

                    I have one of these that I've been trying to give away but none seems to want it. It just didn't work for my group of kids.

                        I liked the idea but never tried one! I thought if one kid fell the rest of them would follow ::

                          I bought a 6 child walkodile for my group of then 2 year olds.it can be adjusted for 4 or even 2 children. I was so excited to use it and then we went on a walk and it was horrible. Even though they are similar in age they all walk at different paces so we kind of looked like human dominoes walking down the street. Lol. It also took forever to go on even a short walk. I've since purchased a 6 seater Bye Bye Buggy and our walks are so much more fun. We stop at places along the way and they all get out and run/explore do they still get the exercise without falling down every few minutes.

                            Want to ship it to Canada?

                              I'll look around and see if I can find a better price. a Little too pircey for us. We do have a choo choo wagon that holds 5 kids. But this I was thinking would be nice to get the kids walking together.
