Note that a follow me can only be used for wheelsizes upto and including 20” for the kids bike.
For a kid of ~120 cm, you will probably switch to a 24” within a couple of months and you cannot use the follow me anymore.
I used one for a couple of years and noticed that the kid copied my riding style as he was attached to my bike and could see what I was doing the whole time. We used it from 12” upto 20”.
At age 5 he was already adjusting his speed when he noticed that the traffic light was red and had learned that he otherwise had to wait longer at the traffic light. Same with cars that do not use their signal lights but you feel somehow that they are going to make a turn.
