Mowing with child on your lap

If common sense really was............. 'nuf said

Jake rode on the lawn tractor a few times when I had a lawn big enough for one, not engaged and just for fun. I always had him in the other yard while cutting the opposite one, as well as while using the trimmer. Now that he is mowing the lawn, I keep his lil brother completely out of the same 1/2 of the yard.

Yeah, we like to have fun and we take risks at times doing it... I'm sure we all do at times.... But if you keep the safety-minded end in sight, it usually ends up being fun and safe. Not just with the lawn work, but with power tools in general. Jake thinks nothing of it to put on ear/eye/hand protection and (at times) a dust mask - If any of you are following our 65build, you'll see him geared up....

And yes, even letting him drive the truck pulling the boat the 5 miles from the water/ramp to the main road when he was 12-13....
