I don't have kids but I don't see an issue with it. So long as they themselves are not strapped to the bike in the event the bike went down I think this is a good solution

[curby]

i don;t know about that one. i'm still not sure if i would take her period. I've taken her down the road but thats about it. until she gets to adult size, she can stay home with mom.

I take my kids out around the neighborhood I keep it slow and as safe as possible, anything that provides extra protection is a plus in my book

[kawi kid]

I like it. Except for the strapped to the bike part lol

[e-flores]

Yeah the strapped on the bike part is very iffy... Not a bad idea though.

[gixxie750]

the seat is great! Always scared my son will somehow flip off the back. I would use it just not strap him in.

[Beegreenstrings]

I am concerned, both sides of this are wrong... Bad324 I am not picking on you when I say they would have to be strapped in... kids fall asleep a lot... most all the time. So if they were not strapped in they go down or possibly both of you.

Then the other side is they are strapped in and you go down, are freed from the bike but the kid has to ride it out.

I see no good side to this.

There's no seat belt attaching the kid to it. I like the idea.

Same thing as a sissy bar, basically.

[Casper]

Yeah, there's no seatbelt guys.

As for the kid falling asleep, if your kid between the ages of 5 and 8 has a problem of falling asleep so much that they'd fall asleep on the back of a motorcycle, you might want to take them to a doctor.

Naw MAN! just give 'em a mountain dew before the ride!

Fuck no.

[Big Green Valley]

When my daughter was younger, I used a device that she was strapped into and then was strapped to me. It had a small block of nylon covered foam that was a buffer between her and me and it had handlebars on the block for her to hold on to.

I liked it because since it was attached to me she wouldn't be too far should the worst case scenario happen. Much like anything else, especially in motorcycling, it's all about the individual rider's acceptable level of risk. You are ultimately responsible for yourself and your child.

I still have the child safety harness in my attic. I should pull it out and see if anyone on the board would like it.

[Steve Butters]

Fuck no.

why? you think its safer to just toss them on the seat and say "hold on"?

[CattaniAFJ]

Because I would never put my kid on the back of my bike.................ever. (We are talking "kid" here, right? Not like 15 or something?)

[Steve Butters]

yea kid...that seat is for age 5-8

[Steve Butters]

and when i was 15, you wouldnt catch me dead on the back of my dads bike...lol...he had to pick me up from school one day and he was on the bike and i actually walked to my uncles house and had my dad pick me up there so nobody i knew would see me riding on the back lol

[YSR_Racer_99]

I cringe whenever I see a child on a streetbike. If I had my kids out on the street, and something happened to them, I'd never forgive myself. Never. To each their own, though.

[crf69]

only if speeds were under 35.....wait no way would i take my kid on that.....ever!

[SAMBUSA]

Damn straight I would use it. My daughter will be rides with me(she's 8) wish I would have seen this a couple years ago. It would work for my son now though since he's 5.

[gen3flygirl]

If I had kids hell no, now a 6 pack on the other hand....

[SAMBUSA]

Why not? It keeps them from falling off the back or sliding too far off the side. It wouldn't work for my daughter as she likes gettin her lean on and it looks like the sides would prevent that.

[max power]

Been riding my kid since she was 9ish. I wouldnt want her in that.

Basically if they are not big enough to flat foot the pegs and hang on confidently, they shouldnt be on the bike.

[jporter12]

the seat is great! Always scared my son will somehow flip off the back when I'm whoolying it. I would use it just not strap him in.

Fixed!

Just kidding!

I think it would have to depend on the kid. If the kid is ok to ride with, then ya, it would be good. Kid strapped to the rider, I'm not so sure about, since an adult could easily crush a kid if the bike would go down. I guess that would give new meaning to back protector!
