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.

In the clip, the child can be seen happily strolling along and peering into nearby shops, while the father gently tugs the tote bag to guide the toddler along.

The child appeared comfortable throughout and did not seem distressed or restricted by the setup.

Netizens enthralled by creativity

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

Many netizens praised the father for his creativity and resourcefulness.
