    i wouldn't reccomend any type of quad for a 2 year old..thats crazy why would you let him on a quad that does near 15 mph when he can't talk yet....if anything get him a little powerwheels...

    Aw now Overkillkfx take it easy on him(or her ) As far as putting a 2 yr old on a quad, well our son started riding by himself when he was 3, he rode on the front of our 400 since he was about 9mo. he's 5 now he does pretty good, needs more seat time of course but glad he's getting started somewhat when he's young. NOW as far as putting him out on a track that young I wouldn't do that, our boy has only been in a few races so far we alwasy see kids out there that can't even reach the pegs & cna't steer them very well now that's scary thats why we're having him get another summer of seat time in before he starts racing next winter.


    KJquadracer............we have a TRX90,SuzukiLT80 & LEM Condor(50) & I think they are all good little quads, my oldest son started out on the 90 when he was 8, then moved to the LT80, now the blaster. Our 5 yr old rides the LEM & it's just the right size, if I was you I would get a LEM & a Honda if you want a 4 stroke the LT80's are good but can be a pain, heard good things about the Kasea 90's they look good too well good luck w/ your kids. BTW we checked the Kasea 50's but like the LEM's better they have the best suspension out there pretty much!!
    Back to the ol' Kodiak 4x4 but at least it's a quad!

    With proper supervision and instruction, there should be no problem. There are still some responsible parents out there.

    My 2 year old cousin rides with me back in our easy trails...I usally just idle back into the timber with him behind me so he doesn't go to fast and just keep looking back at him so he knows to follow me...then when I get back to the little hills I get off the bike and follow him around and "help" him up the hills ....he doesn't mind me helping him and he has a great time ...but anyways....if your wondering which mini to get,I would reccomend an LT80 or 50 or a TRX90....all very reliable machines from what Ive heard

    LEM or Kasea & E Ton 50's are among the best there is. All 3 have many mods available and are pretty tuff machines.

    For your 2 year old I would really look into the Kasea mini 50...I know that sounds wierd but there is a difference in the so called"Full size 50 and the mini 50" check it out. I think w/supervision your lil' one will be fine on the mini. Just set him or her up with the right safety gear and w/your watchful eye you will have one happy kid.

    I know there is a few other mini 50 some have the remote kill switch great for a new rider.

    Goodluck
