Wow, most of the answers above are bad. Leashes are just as bad for guinea pigs as the big exercise balls. When the guinea pig runs aways (and it always does), the leash will jerk your pig back, jerking the spine in way that it is not intended to bend. It can snap your pigs spine.

No you will be just fine using a leash and harness. Just make sure he doesnt get out from it.
Leashes are cool and if you live in the country watch out for hawks... sad but true
no, not at all, my cousin used to do it ALL THE TIME! best of luck!
no. i use a leash on my rabbits. it is perfectly fine.
i usually saddle mine and ride it, he seems to do ok until he is spooked by those pesky toads, then its off to the races so you better hold tight!
It prolly won't hurt to use a restraint to keep from losing it but I don't believe a guinea pig can be leash trained like a dog.
Don't totally rely on the leash, g.p.s will quicky chew through it if left unattended.
a stroler for a pet! thats not right!! thats mean thats like puting a bird on a no flight zone!!
A lead for a guinea pig is fine - I used to put buckle harness leads on mine, and they were always fine.
no! they usually like getting some fresh air!
The harness is fine, it should fit the guinea pig snug but not tight. Some guinea pigs do not like being on harnesses and therefore run a bit crazy, if you then pull on the lead to stop the little piggy you may hurt him, because remember their spine and limbs are very easily broken.
So you can use them but be careful and wary about the dangers that come with using them.

Its ok to use it outside. Just hold on a bit tight because sometimes they want to explore and may run off
