Mine is also a Flexi. They are the best and made in Germany. I would not trust an off brand that was made in China. It could fail. However, the Flexi could potentially fail as well IF the clip were to somehow unlatch. I have read of it happening on here once before. I think the latch got caught on the harness and unlatched.
Flexi does make an XS size, but I find the handle awkwardly small and I have small hands. A larger hand/man's hand you would be holding it with only two or three fingers. Also this size the cord retracts all the way back into the handle. So if you were to drop the handle, it could retract all the way back to your dog and smack her in the back or head. This has happened to me. The larger sizes the cord doesn't retract all the way in. I like that better.
