Motorcycle child harness

I have seen a motorcycle child harness from Rider Ragz that is in Calgary.

I am thinking of purchasing this harness for my 6yr old daughter so I can take her on some rides.

Has anyone used a five point harness that attaches to the driver and then goes around a child while on the back of a bike.
 
When you fall off you'll use your daughter as your landing using a harness like that.

I used something like this when my kid was young. Check Royal Distributing.

It's a belt with handholds.

Also, make sure that she can reach the pegs, and has approx. the same level of gear that you do.

I think there was a thread about that last year. Someone mentioned this as well http://media.motoblog.it/g/giv/givi_child_seat_1.jpg

Notice the foot straps

OP - I've got the one Jay recommended, my son's outgrown it - it's all yours if you can make it out to Ajax. PM me if interested.
 
Don't forget to be "legal" a passenger must be able to reach the foot pegs on the bike. Not a fan of anything that "secures" your child to the bike or you. During a collision unlike in a cage this can be very detrimental.
 
I have two, of the type the OP is asking about. They work really well, kid can't fall off if they try. Yes if you crash they are strapped to your back, be prepared to throw yourself on your face. Lol
My son, who is quickly getting big has nearly outgrown his now at 9, and doesn't use it anymore.
 
Back in the 80's when I was a wee lad I would sit in front​ of my dad almost on the tank. Looking back, doesn't seem the safest. Was hella fun though!

Yep, can't even guess how many miles I logged in front of my dad. :)
 
Got a Harley with backrest. Slow and secure. Lol.

The kids don't like the Buell because of the way I ride it. It doesn't do slow very well.

Six years of age seems too young to be a passenger on a bike. But I don't have kids so wtf do I know?
 
Blackfin is right, but not about the passenger thing. The problem is that 6 y/o's don't have the muscle strength in their necks to support a helmet properly. Wearing one may be comfortable, but at speed, the g-forces can screw up their necks for life. I've only taken my boy around a smooth parking lot so far.

When you do have kids you'll cringe at what some parents do with their kid's safety because "nuthin happened when I did this as a kid".
 
My kid has been riding with me since the age of six (he's autistic too). I remember stopping for ice cream getting the death glare and subsequent critical grumbling from some miserable **** and her pussy whipped hubby in Burlington. **** em all; my kid has the best riding gear, loves to ride, and obviously I'm not riding like a twat down the gardiner with him. Quiet roads, leisurely ride, always been able to reach the pegs; I wish more parents actually spent time doing real life stuff with their kids instead of bubble wrapping them and sending them off for someone else to worry about.

My autistic son (age 9) has been riding with me since he was 6, and so has his sister. They love it and so do I. Other people can say what they like, bubble wrap your own kid and leave me/mine alone.

+1. All too often I see parents shoving a tablet or cell phone for their kids instead of playing catch, fishing, hiking, etc.

I applaud all the parent-riders here who are taking all the necessary measures to ensure their kids have a safe yet memorable experience. #high-5
