If you want to introduce your child to off-road riding, a youth ATV is the way to go. Youth ATVs are smaller, less powerful versions of utility and sport ATVs. Safety is paramount with youth ATVs and most of these vehicles feature a tether strap that can be attached to a child’s clothing so the engine will stop running if the child falls off. With price tags usually thousands of dollars less than full-sized sport and utility quads, youth ATVs are an affordable and safe way for your child to ride with you.
