    Nice trike, just remember that in a few years the little one is now going to want a tri-zinger, to follow you around the yard with.

    Don't make tell the story of how me and my 1.5 year old (at the time) flipped over on a garden tractor.
    The handle that raises the deck, probably saved my kids life as it rolled over him, and I guided him under it.
    I wound up down the hill, with the tractor on my back. Not a good day.
    The stupid tractor popped out of gear, never did that before, on a hill. I knew if I hit the brakes, we were going over backwards, so I cut the wheel, and she turned and flipped.

    My point is, you never know what can happen with your precious ones on a vehicle that can crush or kill them. And some friendly advice. I thought I was being safe at the time, going 2 mph.

    LMAO...

    LonesomeTri-z,
    didn't you show a pic of you riding your kid on a quad?

    wasn't the showing of that pic quickly followed with a public hanging of you by the local lynch mob?

    LOL...sounds like you remember it well.....

    It is not an opinion, it is what happened. You are expressing your opinion about it, why can't I?

    You have any idea now many kids fall off tractors and get killed every year? All they were doing was going out for a ride with Dad.

    I am not saying not to do it, but to be extremely careful. I wouldn't want to see you learn this lesson the hard way.

    I am sure you have said this may times, 3 wheelers don't kill people, people kill people.

    Are you saying what I went through with my son has no meaning to it?

    What I am saying is the guy just wanted to share a cute video. I am sure he is well aware of the risks. He did not ask for an example of what could happen. Hell an air plane could fall on my sons’ room. Does that mean I need to have that possibility pointed out when I put him to bed? No sense in pointing out the obvious. I get irritated when people do that. In order to live life our kids are always going to be at some kind of risk. I see no need to point it out all the damn time. I wish every one on here could just post their photographs or videos (with in reason) with out some one saying “hey that could be dangerous”.

    A m e n brother. I can not stand some one telling me I should be wearing a helmet. It is my head and my brains. If I want to spill them for the world to see it is my choice.

    Any way, getting back to the video. Cute kid I hope to see some more.

    Yeah, the carseat actually fastenes more securely to that than any of the vehicles that I put it in. But to the concerned fellow member, I do appreciate your concern, because it is serious buisness when kids are involved.

    But yeah, the point of this video was primarily for entertainment. I wouldn't do something like this if I thought there was a remote possibility of a child getting hurt. Sometime I'll have to post the one where I ride the thing solo.....now there's something to be concerned about.
