My daughter is three and would love an atv but what to get? I have researched most of the common atvs and have come up to the conclusion that i know very little about none big dealer atvs so what is best in the youth atv market?

 

3 is a little young to start riding... If she was interest in riding atvs, wait a few years (5 would be safe). I'd suggest getting a Power Wheels for now (electric ATV) to start out, they'd be a blast for a 3 year old

 

I agree. Three is too young. Put her in an electric jeep. My grandson is three and has a JD electric tractor. It took a lot of time and patience for him to learn the coordination of steering, pressing the accelerator, and judging distances. He still runs into things.

Buddy put his 5 1/2 year old daughter in an 80cc youth ATV and she rolled it. Fortunately, no broken bones. She had kept running into things, mainly not paying attention to where she was going. She was watching her dad following her when she steered it into the ditch and it turned over on her. It happened so fast there was no way her dad could get off his atv and stop her before it rolled. Fortunately, the helmit was on.

I really think a kid needs to be 7 or 8 before being put on a youth size ATV. But most parents think their kids are more skilled than every other kid.

 

seems young but with power limiters and the kfx 50 that you can walk with she should be able to go just as slow.

 

3 is way way way to young. 6 is just about right for most to start. Plus or minus depending on the child. My neighbor has a new quad for his six year old just last weekend The temper tantrum and leg kicking when dad turned off the key resulted in a badly burned leg. Kids not past the temper tantrum phase are not ready for a quad.

There is a new law in Minnesota that allows the potential for injury to be considered the equivalent to placing a child at risk. Which means that nobody has to actually get hurt any longer - only "could get hurt" and a parent can be charged with child endangerment.

Give it a while. Can the 3 year old even master a tricycle at that age?

 

I put my boy on a LT50 at age 4, he loves it.
