Hello everyone
My 6 year old daughter has aquired a brain injury from a viral infection.  She is now walking, or I should say running because she moves full tilt when out of her wheel chair(she still mostly uses the chair because it is comforting for her to be strapped in)  However she has an unlimited energy supply so its nice to be able to let her burn some off.   In the months she was in the hospital it was nice because they had a huge fenced in play ground to her leisure but now we are home that option is no longer available.  She has no sense of danger or the slightest idea that if she ran in front of a car what could happen so i am currently on the hunt for a well made harness.  The tricky part is, she is a houdini and manages to get out and wiggle her way out of everything, she is also tall and very strong for her age.  I am wonering if anyone knows of a good company to order from,so far the only ones i have found are back pack harnesses and are geared more to toddlers.  Thanks for your help
