I've seen that. Kid ended up with a fat lip and his dad about got knocked on his @ss when he wouldn't let a couple women care for the boy. Kid at the handlebar. Lucky he didn't bust any teeth.

Riding double is OK on flat ground at slow speeds for an experienced rider.

My buddies all ride their kids on the front, from the time they were just old enough to barely hang on. You wouldn't catch me doing it though!

When we are camping, there is one kid that if he is having trouble getting to sleep, dad takes him out for a little ride, and he falls right to sleep!

My dad does that with my 2 year old sometimes (they babysit quite frequently). Works. I still won't take him out with us though. Not strong enough to support a real helmet yet. And I'm a litttle leary of the one that says Mongoose. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Everybody usually rides double with a friend, GF, kid, etc. I do it, but the quad DOES NOT handle like it should. So take precaution if you do it, it tips back a lot easier, and the front end won't turn nearly as well, it gets a serious "push" to it.

As for smaller kids, if your going to do it becareful first of all, but I say put them in front of you. My dad did this with me on trikes and sometimes when we would roll or sumpin he could grab me and protect me. If I was on the back he would have crushed me.

Riding double sucks! Its ok when you are going from the barn to the chitter, but any speed and it just sucks. I realy dont understand the concept of the two seater rigs anyway. Get your own and ride it! Its no fun being carted around all day, the quad is super heavy, and the wheelbase is long. IMO its much more fun to drive your own quad.
