Bad324 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curby Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I like it. Except for the strapped to the bike part lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah the strapped on the bike part is very iffy... Not a bad idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 the seat is great! Always scared my son will somehow flip off the back. I would use it just not strap him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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.

Zach Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 There's no seat belt attaching the kid to it. I like the idea.Same thing as a sissy bar, basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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.

Big Green Valley Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Fuck no.why? you think its safer to just toss them on the seat and say "hold on"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CattaniAFJ Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 why? you think its safer to just toss them on the seat and say "hold on"?Because I would never put my kid on the back of my bike.................ever.

Steve Butters Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 yea kid...that seat is for age 5-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crf69 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 only if speeds were under 35.....wait no way would i take my kid on that.....ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 If I had kids hell no, now a 6 pack on the other hand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 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!
