I like the idea of "out of diapers"... At 4.5, I would take our oldest (She WILL scream at 130db in fear, then laugh outloud and want to do it again... and I'm sure that I'll be over-protective about keeping her safe.)... but at 1.5 and in diapers, he's still a little young... (pronounced: I'm just too lazy for diapers in the woods.)

Heck, I'm still trying to get my wife to experience my addiction... She was supposed to go in 2004 when I switched from Railbuggy to Jeep... but "unexpectedly" got preggo a few months ahead of schedule...

Of course, she's now just as good at reminding me that the Jeep is down as most everyone on this board.

"I would go now..." she says with a grin...

I took my son for the first time when he was 2. He slept most of the time in the 4runner, and when we would stop he wanted to get out and play in the dirt. He's 4 now and he still loves it. Only problem now is that he wants me to hold his hand when we go over anything steep or rough cause i scared him one time and he has never forgotten it.

I took my daughter out in a stock Samurai when she was 16 months. I mostly did easy trails,but crawler down a rocky creek once. That kind of made me nervous since her head was shaking back and forth. But when we got out of the creek she was still shaking her head and laughing! She's now 19 months and will go in the buggy this summer....if it ever gets finished

i've always waited till they were 4, my 2.5 year old wants to go whenever we go, but i ony take the 2 oldest (9 and 11, they have both been wheeling since they were 4 each). they absolutely love it, i just went with 4 b/c they could ride in a booster seat, and i wouldn't have to deal with looking around a big child seat. i'm thinking of switching to 2 kids racing seats in the back now when i swap out my front seats if i can find some for a reasonable price so they can be harnassed in. they hate having to constantly get in and out for the offcamber and taller stuff.
