Also, what about helmet fit and weight? With bike helmets they are very light and fit is critical. I would think a motorcycle helmet is too heavy for their neck muscles. Have you asked he pediatrician?

The helmet is a good fit and is not heavy. I'm sure no pediatrician in the world would OK me putting him on a fourwheeler even if they thought it was safe.
I appreciate the concern, but this is not any more unsafe than pushing him on a swing or letting him ride an electric jeep type toy. We are talking fast-walk speeds here.
BTW, those are long pants and he doesn't need gloves to ride in the 5 inch long grass in papas back yard. The boots again have been addressed.
I think this is the difference between those raised in the country and those in the city. I don't think my father would have put a governor in it for me
Reading this back I sound attacking, I am not so don't take it that way. I really think if you saw it live you wouldn't worry. He's extremely stable and barely moving.
