Our fraternal twins were born in 1980 when the older boy was four years old. I had two harnesses and they helped me bring my children places safely. One Sunday afternoon, the local Mother of Twins Club was having a family picnic at the County Zoo just a few miles from Green Bay, WI. We were out walking on a paved path when a woman (not a lady) came up to me and said using the harnesses was like treating my children as if they were dogs. I was alone with my three children at the time. The woman was with a younger mother and they were guiding two children. Sometimes, you just do want you need to to keep children safe!
