I considered one for my son when he was much younger. In the end, we never got one because I never felt like he needed one.
Every kid is different though. If other parents use it for safety reasons, that's fine with me.

I've heard people defend it as a freer alternative to hand holding. And that makes sense.
But it looks fucking ridiculous
Some look better than others. We recently went to the fair, and my son (now five) saw two kids wearing colorful spiral-type leashes. He pointed and proclaimed, "I want one!" LOL He didn't know what it was. He just saw something fun and colorful looking.
