Would the tether be better at the top to catch the toddlers when they fall?

It could I suppose however the way the bash is designed I see that if you tried to use it to catch a falling toddler it could injure them more than a fall could.

I doubt that would make much of a difference. They would probably just tumble and fall sideways or be yanked backwards. If you were to accidentally drag them its probably better to do it from the bottom of the bag than the top since it would pull them to the ground from the top. That being said, I really never used the tether much since I pretty much hold my son's hand whenever we are in busy places and let him roam near me when we are not.

The tether is at a level so the child walks to the side of you or a bit in front, as they should. I can't answer if the tether would be better at the top but if a child does stumble, they don't fall far. I've been happy with this harness and my toddler loves it.

Why would you want to catch a falling toddler? Wouldn't that prevent them from learning how to walk?

I would worry about it toppling over if there are small children around climbing on it to see your animals.

Unless your kid is really tall, I don t think it ll work properly, in terms of safety.

I use the top tether latch as well as the normal latch. It just seems like I can feel a difference in the stability/secureness by also using the tether.

I don't see why not. Body mechanics are basically the same. If the child's feet are raised it won't be as much of an angle as an adult but it certainly would be a better angle than the child having feet hanging free. I'd be willing to give it a shot.

no, it would just be out of reach. It is not the most stable and I can see a little kid pulling it over trying to unhook their jacket.

I don't see why not as long as the edge of the net is not more than 8 inches or less than 4 inches (give or take)from the frame. The bungees are fairly stiff so should provide adequate rebound.

I don't think it would work very well. It might be strong enough, but one has to be careful when hanging things and taking things of, and kids wouldn't take enough time.

I think a top tether is necessary for safety, and unless a car is very old it has a hook to tether the seat to.

Yes! I have twin 21 month toddlers and when they get going the back of the trampoline tips up. I haven't had it actually go over, but it's a close thing...

Maybe if you secure the bottom somehow...gravity is the only thing securing the net to the ground

I would think so. It's not very high, but I guess it would depend on the size and coordination of the child.

I wouldn't because it is a plastic breakable item that would probably come apart or off the car seat in an impact or accident that reduces the stability inside the car. The chance of your baby becoming injured if this broke or if it hit him in some way (perhaps from other objects coming loose inside the car) is not worth the risk. I used with my kids, and will use with my grandkids, safe plastic toy links with toys attached because tons of little things can be attached to those, even a binky tether. You can also easily change the toys from hard to soft and in between. Just don't make the links long enough for him to wrap them around his neck while you're busy driving.

My husband used the clip to hang the ball from the roof of our porch and we let our great grandaughter learn to catch and throw and then hit the ball with a plastic bat. She is to big for that now but we still use it to play pass. We started with the ball hung low for her height and as she grew we made it higher by shortening the rope. It was a good investment for the fun we have had with her. If you have a pole strong enough and set in cement you could play tether ball by tying the rope to the top of the pole.

It's sturdy, but not topple-proof. I think if a baby tried to lift itself up using this it may well topple over.

No. You'd have to make something that would work. I suggest a string tether of some sort.

No. It is only about a foot from the ground and the kiddos feet are on the ground, or the shouldnt be on it. If the little one isnt able to manage a strong upright seated position and control their balance fairly well I wouldn't use it. There are carseats on pulleys for littler ones that require more positional support.
