Gear Them Up

The first thing to do is to get your children to wear the correct protective gear before entering the trails. You will need a well-fitting helmet for each family member and make sure that this piece of safety equipment is comfortable to wear. You will also want them to wear long sleeves, pants, ankle boots, and goggles and avoid wearing loose or draped clothing. For the extra safety of your younger kids, put chest plates and help them get into your UTV.

Educate Kids on Rules

Safety begins with awareness, and you will want to educate your kids on the rules to follow when riding a UTV. Let them know they will remain exposed to the air when riding a utility terrain vehicle. They must keep their arms and legs inside the UTV when moving. You will also want them to wear safety gear and harnesses and avoid distracting the driver.

We hope you find these tips handy when exploring the great outdoors with your UTV. If you have more questions, get them addressed by our friendly team at Tracy Motorsports. We are in Tracy, CA, and proud to serve those from Stockton and Modesto.
