    I remember back in the 80s, my parents would drop me off at daycare and there was this little girl-about 4 yrs old-who’s dad would drop her off on his Goldwing. While she had a helmet and jacket, etc, he strapped her car seat to the sissy bar with bungee cords. At the time I thought how cool that was; but looking back, I can’t believe he did that.

    Single dad here, I’ve carried my son as a pillion since he was 7 years old. He is now 11 and a MUCH better passenger.
    - you’re putting the child’s life in your hands. Get the best gear, start with short rides first to ensure they get comfortable. Don’t take your kid on a 50 mile run with no experience.
    - please be a competent rider, particularly slow speed maneuvering. Kids get disoriented by jerky movements (at least mine did) their comfort level goes up when your skill at handling low speed stuff is high.
    - if the trip is going to be longer, budget time for extended breaks. Kids want to visit the bathroom more often than adults do. I’ve taken my son on a 400 mile day trip and he was up to it, you just have to be mindful of time management more than if you’re riding alone.
    - get a pillion headset. I’ve caught my kid wanting to doze off more than once, this ensures you’re in constant communication and know when to take a break and allow for him to get a Power Nap in.

    An uncle took me around for a couple weeks on a bike when I was 7 or 8. He would make me wear a helmet but that's it. Scary thing is he was in a accident at 75mph about a month afterwards. Luckily he walked away unscathed.

    I have ridden as a passenger since i was 8 and i never fell asleep, maybe because my grandpa rode fast haha. I held onto the backrest bars when riding on his harley and held on to the sissy bars when on his f800st. Last Christmas I actually got to ride the f800st by myself in a parking lot. It was easier than i thought but i mean I’ve been riding dirt for like 8 months at that point.

    Martin Foster is right, come visit us in Vietnam - you’ll see things you never thought was possible on a bike - bet you didn’t know you could ride with a full size fridge on the back of your 115 cc bike while your 2-year old kid is standing in front of you)) seriously, come visit, you’ll shoot tonnes of fin stuff here. Btw - LS2 makes a very decent full face helmet for kids.

    My toddler wants to go on the Harley, but he's only 3. He has a helmet and I got a Kid Karrier harness that straps him to the front of me because he's obviously too small to reach passenger pegs on the back. I'm in a rural area east of Tucson where traffic is light to nonexistent. I still wouldn't take him out on the roadways, only around the neighborhood and at very low speed.

    The boys have been riding in the sidecar since they were 2 years old.
    I made a custom seat in the sidecar, with two sets of 5-point harnesses side by side , so both boys can go for a ride with me at the same time.
    They love it. they are very hard to get out of the sidecar once their in.
    And , yes, they fall asleep regularly in the sidecar.
    When they are about 6 or 7, i will take them on the back of the harley.
