What Parents and Professionals have to say about O'Pair™

As Reviewed in The New York Post (Jan 16, 2006):

"[Gayle] Forman [a New York mother of a 17 month old daughter] was won over by the O'Pair™, a leashing system that tethers together a pair of fanny packs: a plain black one for the adult and one with a furry animal for the child. The idea is to give kids freedom to walk on their own yet keep them from straying too far, while avoiding something that looks like it ought to be attached to a dog collar. It worked great with her daughter, who's extra-active and resists hand-holding, Forman says.

'When we're going out for little walk, it's perfect. I don't have to chase after her or be anxious if I let her go for a second.' She's gotten only positive comments about it - 'people think it's adorable,' she said - and her daughter loves it.

In fact, she loves it a little too much. 'She insists on sleeping with the fanny pack,' she says."

Customers love it:

"Just came back from Disney. I bought the O'Pair™ before going. WE LOVED IT. Everybody was asking me where I got it. We had a stress free 2 1/2 year old. It was also helpful in the airports. Thanks for such a wonderful product."

"Your product is amazing."

"I just went out to the site and ordered Simon the Frog. I'm very excited since it's the only one out there that will make people smile. For whatever reason, some people get angry if you leash a child. Obviously, they don't understand."

"Just the other day I saw a woman in the grocery store. She had an infant in the shopping cart and a two year old. While at the checkout register, the 2 year old ran off, out of the store, into the parking lot, right in front of a sport utility truck! The truck stopped. The woman ran out of the store screaming, leaving her infant behind in the shopping cart, unattended! What choice did she have? I thought... O'Pair."

O'Pair "takes the principle at work in child "leashes" - which serve a function but are often hated by parent, child and society - makes them fun for the child and more socially acceptable to use." - Montgomery Gazette

"My daughter loves wearing O'Pair, and I love the added security of O'Pair when we're in a crowd." Mindy Maggid, MD, Pediatrician
