I loved using the harness....so much safer that trying to hold their hands. Some kids like holding hands but others don't I also always used a harness at the beach...and yes I was with him the whole time...but he could play next to me...and not having to fear the tides pulling him out or slippery hands, and with back issues...did not have to bend the whole time.
