Abstract:
1. A child's safety tether in combination with an attachment pouch providing for quick release of the stored child safety tether in situations where the child care provider must temporarily relinquish contact with the child's hand while using both adult hands to negotiate a commercial transaction, comprising: said pouch having a vertically extending inner wall, a vertically extending outer wall spaced from said inner wall, and side walls for forming an enclosure between said inner and outer walls; a horizontally extending wall within said enclosure forming an upper compartment and a lower compartment within said pouch; a top opening into said upper compartment with a closure for opening and closing access to said upper compartment; a bottom opening into said lower compartment with a flap having one side attached to a bottom edge said inside wall and a free end for overlapping said outer wall for closing and opening said lower compartment, with a quick release fastener for attaching said free end to said outer wall, whereby releasing said fastener will open up said lower compartment to permit contents within said lower compartment to drop out from said lower compartment by way of gravity; a child safety tether including a flexible strap having a distal end with a child wrist attachment and a proximal end attached to an inside surface of said inner wall within said lower compartment, whereby said tether remains coiled up within said lower compartment when said flap is closed; whereby upon quick release of said flap said tether drops out of said lower compartment permitting rapid deployment of said wrist attachment of said tether with provision to distract said child.
