Ranking bat family members based on whether or not I think they were leash kids:
1.Dick Grayson: certified leash kid,his parents always tied him up to one if they left to go explore busy areas that the circus had stopped in. He always got too excited to go explore and would run ahead of them, occasionally into traffic so John and Mary invested in a child leash to keep their son alive. Dick hated his leash and threw a fits if he had to wear it,he found it restricting and didn't like not being able to go explore Bruce threatened several times to get a leash for him as robin if he kept straying to far from batman on patrol,he did end up purchasing one and dick quickly fell in line.
2.Tim Drake: He had a child leash as a toddler as he had a penchant for wandering away from nanny's on outings. If little Tim saw something he was interested in hed stray away from where he was supposed to be and hyper focus on where he was going and ignore all the possible dangers around. After his babysitter watched him almost get run down by a cyclist a toddler leash was invested in. Tim didn't like his leash much but he mainly just whined and complained as opposed to throwing fits over it.
3.Stephanie brown: She was definitely a very chaotic child who definitely had a running faze where whenever she was left out of the house for more then five minutes she'd bolt. Usually towards incoming traffic,so either Crystal or mabye one of her grandparents invested in a child leash to keep Stephanie from running off. Stephanie despised the leash and tried to hide it or throw it away several times but as a toddler she wasn't very successful.
4.Bruce,Bruce was a curious kid before his parents bit the dust and he like little timmy wandered alot if he saw something cool so thomas and Martha hooked him up and to a child leash on most of their outings. Bruce liked to wander after butterfly's or animals or if he saw a cool plant he'd been trying to waddle after it which was cute unless he tried to walk into the busy roads. Bruce didn't mind the leash all that much as long as he didn't have it on for too long.Bruce's wandering faze definitely lasted well out of toddler hood but it stopped after the alley.
5.Duke:he was usually good kid when he was younger but he too went through a running phase but it lasted only a few weeks after he got shouted at by his mother for almost getting hit by a cyclist that scared him enough to stick close to his parents. But during those few weeks he wore that child leash tight. He didn't mind wearing the child leash as he was thought it was fun to try and run while being held back.
6.Barbara: Babs never went through a running or wandering phase so the Gordon's never invested in a child leash. Babs was a tugger though,if she saw something shed like to go to shed tug along Jim and try drag him over to whatever she wanted to go see but she never ran away from her dad
7.Jason: Jason never really wandered or tried to run from his parents as a kid,he was a bit of a clingy child and was more likely to hang on to his mom or dad's legs then run off. Only when he got older did he finally start running away from his father but by then he was too old for leashes
8.Damian: Damian was a pretty obedient toddler he never ran away from his mama he stayed right beside her never straying too far unless he had to go train.
9.Cassandra: Running away wasn't even a concept to Cass,she always stuck right by her father,ever loyal. The idea of leaving or running from him was never a thought in her mind so there was no need for restraints with Cassandra.
