revrnd Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Saw a family of 4 out riding last Sat'. Always nice to see kids out on the trails. The 2nd point is timely as during the coverage of the groundhog in Wiarton, they were talking to an older kid. He said he was glad that the prediction was for an early spring because he was sick of being stuck in the house. WTF? The parents are to blame for nonsense like this. "Get your ass out and do something," would be what mine would've said... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My boys have logged 300 - 400 km so far this winter over numerous outings. Enjoying every minute. It's a different way to enjoy the sport. Arguably just as fun. Just takes some planning to keep the ride distances in check. We're learning hot paws are our friends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon600 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My wife and I both have the Seat Jack 2 for our Switchbacks. I actually haven’t even been out yet without a kid not behind me. We’ve gone on several day trips with them. with these “teacher strike” days we just plan an outing with them and either leave from the farm or trailer a bit north depending on trail conditions. they love it, it keeps them off the damn electronics and allows them to see how beautiful winter can be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreyboater Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's so sad BRP have removed mini's from production line at 2008 if I'm not mistaken. Also they don't have any 3/4 sled or sled with small CC engine. Actually now kids are limited with sled option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04nightfire Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My 2 1/2 year old daughter has probably logged more km's than I have this year on her kitty cat 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My kids love their 250 bravo, they still enjoy their video games though. I was a gamer when I was their age so I can relate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Siberia people! I remember stopped in Kap' 1 day @ the traffic lights. 4 kids in their snowmobile suits walked up to us & were really checking out our sleds. No parents or SUVs were to be seen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what we bought for the Switchbacks. $550 seat and $125 bracket. Easily clips on and off. I had one for the 2009 skidoo that I thought would fit the Switchback but it doesn’t so if anyone wants one I have it available seat & bracket. Only used 1 season.
