You must make the commitment to your child's
proper use of the ATV. Your child must rely
upon you to be sure he or she has the develop-
ment, proper training, and proper equipment, as
well as an appropriately sized ATV and an
appropriate riding area.
Be sure your child is ready to learn how to
ride
As a parent, your first step is to decide when
your child has the strength, skills, and judgment
to learn how to operate an ATV safely. Re-eval-
uate your child's readiness before every use; a
child who is too tired or distracted should not be
allowed to operate the ATV.
