I have run into many diffrent V.C. s all about child restraints and car seat laws but none to relate to motorcycles. is it like the basic speed law to be inturpeted diffrently for each child? Any L.E.O.s know the awnser? please help a very jeolous little girl is beggin me for the awnser...B

Wow....there doesn't seem to be anything in the DMV motorcycle manual about age or size requirements of motorcycle passengers.

I rode on my dad's bike since I was 4, as long as they're helmeted and smart, cops don't care. As a general rule, I'd say if they can ride a 50/70/100 without training wheels, they're good to go.

My oldest rode around with me at the start of 5. My neighbor is a CHP and he said as long as they can touch the pegs and you can buy pegs that adjust up or down, for street bikes. Kuryakn makes pegs that adjust. I quit riding Conner around as a kid when he was quite for a while and I felt his grip start to loosen and figured out just in time that he dozed off.

Footpegs, helmets, sit behind driver
I did a bunch of reading and this is what I came up with.
AMA says no minimum age: AMA
CHP doesn't say either way: CHP
Sounds crazy but with all of the restrictions/child restraint devices required in motor vehicles, get 'em a helmet, make sure their feet reach the pegs (debate if you can alter the peg location but nothing found sayin' ya can't) and off ya go.

I've heard of many a dad taking a large belt or webbing belt and putting it around the kid and you to make sure you are not just relying on their grip

she has been around bikes all her life and now has 2. she is 8 and has been riding with me on dirt since 1. i am more worried about her freaking out with the police giving me a ticket and having to have someone pick her up. she has a tendancy to think its her fault or she did something wrong when rangers or blm stop her to say hi or shake us down. Im more worried about others than her losing grip. she will be very happy if i can take her to micky d's on the new bike. thanks again.....B

Child Belt
Child / Family Riding Safety
I would personally not strap my kid to a 300 lb bike. Rig a belt with handles if your bike doesn't have passenger grab rails they can reach.
