I am not sure what it would be called or if I will have to make it my self. I am taking my children (3 and 4) to the beach next month. I want something to secure around my wrist and their wrist that will make us attached. We will be in the ocean ( although not very deep) so I don't want them to float away. I would also use it for walking around when we are sight seeing. Does anyone know where I can find something like that? I don't want a cute animal harness because it will bet wet.

This is hilarious...your kids are not going to float away! Chances are a shark will come by and take a nibble, which in case, the harness really wouldn't help a whole lot.0

Sorry, that made me laugh.
Just keep an eye on them, easy enough.0 -
How about a boat buoy or fender?0

You could buy one of those child leashes lol.0

fill their diapers with rocks0

Aside from my aversion to people putting leashes on their children...... This could be very dangerous in the water, it is very easy to get tangled up in something like what your describing, which poses additional injury and drowning hazard (former life guard here) Plus if your children are small enough that you are considering leashing them to you, they are small enough that you should not be out in the water past getting their feet wet unless you are holding onto them.0

really????? If it is THAT much of a concern, perhaps you should just stay home..........0

hahahaha This can't be serious...is it? You mean Floatation devices? You should tie them to a Dolphin. I heard they are kid friendly and will defend off sharks.0

Just find the creepiest old dude on the beach.
Leave them with him and enjoy yourself...problem solved.0 -
Looked it up online and found "Child Safety Wrist Link". It's got a velcro bracelet for your wrist and theirs and is connected with a cord. I'd take the advice of the life guard above who suggested you be careful with them getting tangled. Doesn't look like that can happen, but be careful.
Also, I wouldn't "find the creepiest old dude on the beach" to babysit them!0 -

If your kids are 3 and 4 they are probably not amazing swimmers so you are probably not going to take them out in water that is over there head....therefore they will be able to touch the bottom so they will not float away....
I wish there was a class to teach common sense.....maybe some day *eye roll*0 -

Definitely the way to go. Totally okay, and not embarassing at all to tether children like pets.0 -
