For those of y'all with kids.....
« on: November 09, 2012, 11:00:58 PM »
At what age did you start taking them trail riding. My boy will be three at the end of December and he already loves the Jeep, just trying to figure out a good age to have him tag along with dad. Obviously my main concern is the safety of him, so I would not be pushing the limits by any means. I am just ready for him to start enjoying the whole aspect of the Jeep life.

My son has been wheeling since he was in the belly! He loves it and usually falls asleep on the more intense trails, I look back to see if hes good and he will be passed out!

Spend every minuet with them you can! It will be good time spent. Just put him in a good car seat and strap him in good. He will love it . I know its a lot of work taking them with you sometimes with all the other things you have to take with you. ie dippers,wipes,bottles,so on. Just get a tote and strap it in too! You won't regret it.

My son will be 3 in January. I plan to bring him on some trips next year. Probably not every month, but we'll see...

Took my son to Gulches for the first time last year. He was 8 yrs old. I would probably have taken him earlier but I'm usually with a group so it's harder.

He is a bad influence!! He pressured me to go ass deep in a huge mud pit </LMAO/>

My kids have been going since they were 2.  The most important thing is to have a REALLY GOOD car seat that is comfortable supports their head.   

If they get knocked around and they are not securely fastened, the fun will be over... If they feel safe and secure, they will laugh about it.

My son always fell asleep at Tellico. Had to hold his head from beatin around in the car seat. Man I miss those days... Him being small and Tellico!
