I found that, with some effort, it was much easier to simply put a good,
secure H-harness and leash on my ferrets (one at a time, of course!) and
teach them to park on my shoulder until we get to our destination.  If they
show a desire to get down, I put them on the ground and hold the leash,
letting them explore until they get bored or tired.  They've learned to
either walk in front of me, then 'speed bump', or come up to my leg and
put their front paws on me, to let me know they want up.
 
This way, you keep your ferret where you can SEE them, you can let them
investigate whatever strikes their fancy *and* you can show your ferret off
to each and every person that happens by!  It also solves the problem of
your ferret being able to see everything, they get to smell everything (be
careful of sprained noses from over-use!) and they get all the fresh air
they can stand!
