Ok as a backpack, not that great as a leash

My wife thought this was the cutest little thing she’d seen. She wanted it mainly for the harness and leash. Unfortunately because of the way the straps are designed it doesn’t work all that well for that part. The chest buckle is way too low which I didn’t notice when I was ordering it. If you were to actually try to use this on a child as a harness it’s not very secure and slips way up if they’re tugging on it at all. It would have been much better if the chest strap had been adjustable up and down. One idea I had was adding a strap all the way across that attaches to the pack instead of the shoulder pads and comes across under his armpits. But that’s a lot of work to make it useable. It’s possible maybe he’ll grow into it a little better eventually but that doesn’t really help me now. It really is cute on him though so if you don’t care about the harness it might be worth getting. One other negative is the adjustable part on the shoulder pads isn’t hemmed, so when you loosen it, it can come all the way out and you have to rethread it. It’s a pretty easy fix to just fold over the fabric and sew it, but it’s something that should have already been done.
