Boy Jumping a Small ATV

There have been a lot of reports about injuries related to ATV usage lately so I wanted to remind everyone that when it comes to your kids riding ATVs, size does matter!
Putting a small body onto a large ATV is asking for trouble because, like a motorcycle, you have to use your weight to control it. That's why ATVs come in so many different sizes; one size doesn't fit all.
The recent lead ban for youth ATVs probably didn't help much. I would guess being told you can't buy a kid's sized ATV wouldn't stop everyone from buying one... they'd just buy one that's bigger than the kid should be riding.
