Children and snowmobiles?

[Dizzyfrog]

I am not that familiar with snowmobiles, but my friend lets his young child who is just under four years old ride on the snowmobile. I guess she falls asleep within a few minutes and her head bobs around. I find this dangerous but he doesn't seem to think so. What is everyone's opinion?

Really depends on how fast they are going, I would hope slow with a child. Sometimes jus the loud noise of something puts kids to sleep. Snowmobiles should be operated with safety.. they are big and heavy machines. I would let my daughter ride around with me someday when she gets older.
