I have seen a lot of toddlers secured to gold bug harness buddies with a parent holding onto the tail and I always thought to myself how one of those things would really make my life easier at outings with two toddlers running around. After learning that they were $20 at walmart I figured I could do without it. However during a recent trip to the DI (a thrift store) I found one for $1 !!!! - that is well within my budget 
Sariah loves to have a cute little puppy on her back and I now don’t need to worry about her running away from we. These harness buddies really do make life with a toddler easier, now I need one for Bekah! I love how cute these harnesses are, I don’t have to worry about appearing like I am walking my daughter like a dog.
I’ve just seen the monkeys and puppies at walmart but online you can find a lot of different animals such as lions, horses, koala’s and cows.
Edited: Here is a closer up picture from the Goldbug website:

Way to go on only spending a dollar. I don’t see the buddy in the picture. Can you put up a close up so I can see how the thing is attached? Thanks.
