CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS?...is it ok?

[Bob Denman]

thanks for the comments everyone! even after only a few weeks of reading everyones comments i feel a level of respect for the group as a whole... i have seen some REAL morons on the snowmobile trail but always have safety as #1 for myself and family... guess i dont know why i never put much thought into being on the spyders with the kids. i will keep it to the short ice cream runs in our very rural area. i love the child belt link....thanks a ton! i will have one. again thanks to all for the concern and advice! :thumbup:

That's great that you keep the family involved in these activities! We always took our son along also, and he's developed a healthy respect for mechanized things. Now that he's old enough to be out on his own he's even talking (quietly round the Missus) of getting a motorcycle.
Your concern for their safety never goes away...
So enjoy every moment of their company that you can! :thumbup:

Thanks for asking... I was wondering this myself. Just don't overdo it, like the guy below...

I would think, if the kids can ride with you on snowmoblies, they could on Spyders. Along with safety rules as above. Me, I would keepthe riding to slow speed ( 35 ? ), area roads, not interstates highways.

Looking back a lot of years, we used to ride with babies sitting on the gas tank in front of us on bikes. This does not seem to be such a good idea now. We did that, even on our monster size 500 and 650 cc bikes.

Your decision, of course. Have fun, be safe
