What is a Safe Age For Kids To Start Riding?
Filed in archive Learning by Matt on December 27, 2006

When my eldest son was two he got his first electric quad. I knew he would be safe on it because before he got that, he had a Big-Wheel which he promptly rode out the back door, down two steps and over the bars. He knew where he was going, I'm sure of it. After a very brief cry he got right back on it and rode it straight out the back door again, and made it to the grass.
That's why I say you need to consider when the child will be ready, and not just how old they are. Some kids will take to it right away, others may never want to ride. You can't force them, you can only nurture them and open doors of opportunity to them.
One thing's for sure, teaching kids just about anything at an early age is possible. It will play a big part in their over-all actions as the grow and participate in what ever activity they've learned. So make sure you teach them safety, respect and most important, to look where they're going.
