When we were toddlers, my parents would put a harness on us and tie us on a long rope to a tree in the back yard.

Sounds crazy in hindsight, but all the kids from the neighborhood would often play in our backyard, and there were 4 of us kids in my family alone, so my mom might have 10 kids she would feel responsible for. She could have put the youngest toddler in a playpen (cage) but tying them up to let them explore the yard seems way better.

Here's some completely random stranger's video I found on the internet of a similar setup.
