I love taking my 6- and 4-year-old out for drives around the neighborhood on my lap. I make sure to talk about and show them what I'm doing (okay, clutch in...), and let them do as much as they can by themselves, so they're learning while we're playing.

As far as safety, we always go really slowly, and even though they have control of the wheel some of the time, I've always got a hand on it if a correction is needed (there's very little traffic).

For any of you who do the same, once you get it back in the garage, make sure to rev the engine a couple times and let them honk the horn! Best way to make memories and future gearheads.

If you're really worried about airbags, traffic, curbs, etc., find a huge & empty parking lot for them.
