My grandson rides with me when we go to the park, or on short trips around town. Some states have different laws about kids riding. Some states require them to be able to reach the passenger running boards, or to be of a certain age. The state of Missouri only requires that they wear a helmet. I have arm rests on the back seat of the 1800 and I can easily strap them together (where they will not swing open) and he can't fall out. I suppose some would say it is an un-necessary risk taking small kids on a motorcycle ride, and they may be right, but he loves it so much it's hard to leave him standing in the door when I leave. He has been riding with me for over a year, at least once a week, and he will be 5 years old in October. He has always been a very good passenger. Not so with his older brothers who are 12 and 14 years old.
