No reverse this. Say I am stationery,holding a leash attached to my Mango, who weighs just over 4 lbs. If she sprang forward, because my weight is so much greater than hers, it would cause cause a reaction that would jerk her back to a stop.
Now apply this to Babybear. If that jerk on the leash, pulled in any way on the front of the harness, which goes around his neck, what would the potential for injury be?
I am so sorry if my post causes you concern, but I am just worried for your little guy. There is always the possibility that I am wrong, I am certainly no expert, but perhaps you could ask someone that is, like your Vet AND the manufacturer of his wheels.

Thank you Lauren for you concern with my little guy. He will be seeing his Doc Paul tonight and I will make sure to talk to him about this. Today is Doc Paul's birthday and we are going to go surprise him with Babybear running to him today. We have been working so hard towards this goal and today he will see it happen. Babybear has to go for an acupuncture appointment so we will be doing some talking that is for sure.
Well, have to run gotta give the little guy a quick bath he spilled his coffee milk all over himself just before I left for work this morning and I washed him up but still a little sticky. Did just as I was about to go out the door.
Hope to see you all tonight. When I get back.
