Children and throttle control
I think everyone who reads this has a story or two on this topic (not yet? you will have some stories real soon), my son use to use the throttle as an on off switch. A couple fence posts and a creek later, seemed to help him become more controlled last winter. Anyone have anything they want to share from their childhood? Or from teaching their child ? You know, share an experience that may help someone with one of the the most frustrating situations these little machines can bring .
Turning is another issue, not as entertaining. But feel free to share those as well.

I bought our Kitty Cat when our first daughter was three months old. I found tying a rope to the rear bumper let me control the speed. Yes, lots of running! Over the years I've done this a dozen or so times with kids. Yesterday my niece got on it and squeezed it. I could be getting old or maybe the mods by Power By Karl required me to drop to the ground to stop her! I got up and told her to go slower. That was all it took. She shared her turn the rest of the weekend. As far as steering, there is a lot of shovel time making banks (especially near trees and such).
Hope this helps.

My daughter is 4. I did the rope to the bumper thing with her, she needed to know i was there for her to feel comfortable. It only took about 5 minutes for her to ace it.
My son was 3 when he got his first quad. We played with the race car set to learn how the throttle works pull harder/go faster/wipe out. worked really well actually.
Our kitty has gears and the gov tied off. we make trails with the big sled so any mistakes are quickly soaked up by a big soft snow drift.
