Best starter quad for my kid
#14
We have an 8yr. old that has never rode anything before so we got him a polaris 50 and he rode for about 3hrs. and said it was too slow so now he rides a Blaster and loves the heck out of it. He's a big 8yr. old and the Blaster better suits him for the riding he likes to do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My kids were both on Blasters by age 8 or 9, but they rode right out of the cradle too. I'd say find a used LT80 cheap as you can because you'll be selling it next year or two for a bigger unit.

I'd say go with the Suzuki LT160. It is bigger than a mini, but still isn't as big as a 250cc quad. My little brother is 7 and he loves riding it. He has a hard time handling my Z250. He can't reach the breaks too good. I rode the 160 until I was 14 so he shouldn't outgrow it anytime soon.
