I wouldn,t let your wife or girlfriend see this,it,s a little dangerous having a young one not in a car seat.There,s some idiot driver,s out there that could run into you.You,d have some serious explaining to do.Play safe!
we were sitting in a parking lot, car not running. I would never do what you are suggesting although when i was a little guy my dad did let me work the wheel while he worked the pedals from time to time. It was a different, more dangerous time back in the 70's though....
