Dad uses tote bag as DIY child harness
TikTok user @chamhuii uploaded the video on 12 Jan, showing the father guiding his young child around using what appeared to be a homemade tote bag harness.
The canvas tote had two holes cut at the bottom for the child’s legs, allowing the boy to walk freely while the father held onto the bag’s handles like a leash.
The video was filmed near Tanjong Pagar Plaza and was captioned with an onscreen text:
Great way to reuse your canvas tote bags. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

The unusual parenting hack struck a chord online, with the video amassing nearly 500,000 views on TikTok.
