my daughter was 2 when i first took her out to the mounds last november she allright but when it get to uneven terrans like truck climbing hill or the truck being lopsided she will whine... but i m hoping i ll break her in soon

[chevypower1955]

Yes never to young, as long as the driver is old enough to know the limits of the child. Had my step daughter out on the trails at 3 mo. she loved it and as she got older the rides got rougher and longer, she now tells me age 14 "what thats it" Sometimes think she is'ent having any fun unless I break something.

Safety and age go hand in hand, I have 13, 11 and 8 year old boys, they know when it is ok to be loud and yell and scream and they know when they have to be quiet because I am spotting.  My 13 year old has even gotten into the spotting some.  But it is really up to the driver and if they feel comfortable taking the child with them.  I know that our youngest has been riding with us since we had a truck to run with.  It is a family oriented sport if you treat it as that.  You have to teach the kids safety in and out of the vehicle.  I know that when the boys are out of the truck they are always on the look out for other vehicles so that they are not getting hurt, or worse.  This is a sport that can and will be handed down from generation to generation, at least in this family, I know that this is a family tradition that won't die without a fight.

After reading through this posting, I can see y'all are a safe and smart bunch!  I have taken my kids boggin'(mildly) since they were just over a year old, my youngest is 4 now and he loves to bog!  I can't fire up the truck without him wanting to ride, even if it is from the back yard to the front!  I always buckle them in their carseats(if applicable) and seatbelts, plus tell 'em to "Hang on!!"  They love it!  I'm changing from a truck cab to a Jimmy body, so I'll have room for more kids! (I got four kids, no room for 'em in the truck cab)

I get criticized for it, but my little man was out at the Mounds at nearly 3 weeks old. We were at the Mounds the day before I went into labor trying to trigger it a little bit...

That is our truck in the background, my baby was sound asleep in the backseat, he was born 9-22-03. He is going on 4 now, and LOVES IT! Our daughter was over 2 when we started wheeling as a family, and she still isn't that big into going out, though we are working on breaking her in.

It has a lot to do with the person driving, and knowing the limits of the child that is riding with you.

me and my wife were riding down the road back when she was preg. she said my son was just a kicking he went to the mounds at about 1 1/2 he rides all my toys snowmobile,bike,4-wheeler  but my girl she is scared to death so i think it depends on the kid

[Darkman]

I think it depends on the kid and the driver. Obvoiusly you gotta take it easy with the kid in the truck. My daughter loves it and always has. The doctor told us that we weren't allowed to go wheeling past six and a half month of pregnancy. For her second Birthday I got her a Barbie power wheels Jeep and got it stuck in the mud in our backyard. Its how their raised, I hope someday she has a better bogger than me.

my dad started me erly now im a gear head im 14 and i drive like a pro arownd the field i throw mud every where got mud

[MORGZILLA!]

long as they're strapped in
probably depends on the child.

I have 3 boys, 25, 22 & 14. They where raised trail riding,  since they opened there eyes, they all been driving since about 10 years old. Used to have blocks made for gas and brake. They all love the mud.

When do you start to let them drive?
