Couzer Report post Posted February 17, 2019 My 2, 4, 6, and 8 all go in my ranger with the wife and I. The 2 year old is in a baby seat with a bike helmet, the 4 and 6 have boosters with helmets, and the 8 year old just a helmet. I traded a rifle for a 90cc quad from a member on here for the 6 and 8 year old but never was able to get it running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted February 17, 2019 10yrs old, and watch the age per CC's. Main thing that I noticed with young kids is controlling a quad during a panic, and get one with a governor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted February 18, 2019 One Christmas a long time ago we bought 3 of those Chinese quads. The smallest one was barely more than something you'd buy at walmart. The kids drove those things endlessly. Of course, we made them wear helmets, but I'm thinking they were 12, 10 & 7 around then. Maybe a year earlier. We've carted them around in a ranger since around that time as well. Helmets & seat belts go a long way. Have fun and keep them safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every kid is different. only thing you can do is take them out every time you go out and let them play around. our 1st daughter as the age of 7 was putting our bass boat on the trailer and off the trailer on crowded summer days during fishing tournies etc etc. one shot deal never had an issue. heck she did it for a bunch of buddies as well when they fished solo. if she could have backed a trailer up it would have saved a ton of us alot of walking back down to the ramp. ;) Kids do some pretty cool things at any age you just have to let them try it. youll know if they can or cant as time goes on. take them out and let them run the dirt roads in the truck. I always let my kids drive as soon as we were on dirt roads from a very early age. My Dad used to take our son out all the time on his quad, dad would let our son drive it and he did good. for a 10 year old with downs syndrome thats pretty cool even The Warden wanted to get him a quad to drive around on out in the desert if I could have gotten a remote hook up to kill the motor. when you feel they are old enough let them try in an area that has alot of sand, like a big river wash. but you have to make sure you take them out and let them drive it with you on the back for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
