My son has a Kawi 90 and it has held up well so far. My problem with the kids atv's is they are almost all to narrow.

For a 6yo the Unison Desert Cat 50 would be perfect for a cpl years. Look at Raceway.com site. They sell them for about 1300.

Yes the 50 is just a tad bigger than the Falcon 90. It also has lots of power for a 50cc quad.

Super,

The Unison Desert cat is every bit as reliable and safe if not better than the big 4 and it is not a $800 quad. It is made by the same company as the Polaris pred 50/90 and also has the same motor as the eton and kymco quads. You cant beat the price and quality of the desert cats.

Are you looking new or used? What is your son's height/weight? Personally, I think E-ton has a nice product in their Viper 70 for that age range. You should still be able to choose 2 or 4 stroke, they come with plenty of features, and the frame seems to be a great size for most 6 y/o kids. They are a little cheaper than the bigger brands too, msrp is around $1800.00. You can get the 90 also, basically just a bit larger motor and bigger wheels, a few more bells. If you are going used, look into the little Suzuki Quadsport 80. They have a few drawbacks, but plenty of positives. You can get used ones in decent shape for around a grand, parts are readily available, and they perform great for general trail riding and such.

Alga, since he is 6, and you won't be actually riding with him, definately stay with the 70cc and under range. What you really need to do is start researching a ride of your own

Sir,
If you have to have an automatic look at the Polaris Predator 90. Most have given them a thumbs up. There are others out there too. SEADAWG

Sir,
True, the Desert Cats 50/90 are getting great reviews. SEADAWG

DC 50/90 or much better than the Kazuma 90...one built to take a beating and on for the yard. SEADAWG

You have made a good choice, I am sure. Good luck and be sure to write a review after a few rides.

If your looking for something that is safe for your kid with no worries buy a eton or a kymco.

your saying::::: just want to find something reliable and safe for him to ride. do you think your kid would be safe on a 800.00 doller quad ?????????????

Been doing my reading and chinese quads don't seem like the way to go. I have a 6 year old and am looking for something with an automatic as its his first quad. What are your suggestions and if you could give a ballpark price that would be great.

Thanks

Wow...thanks for all the replies. I guess new or used would work, just want to find something reliable and safe for him to ride. I saw some today, happened to be the kazuma 90, and that size seemed about right, are some of the ones listed about that size?

Thanks again-

Brad

Again, thank you to everyone for your opinions, seems everyone has their own feelings on this one. I will keep looking for one locally, used or a local dealer. I really do not know what to expect to spend, to "ensure" safety but my guess is you hink 800 is not enough?BR>
A couple other things, this is my first purchase of an atv, it is for my son who will be riding it on the 1/2 acre property behind the house as a replacment to a battery powered vehicle he got when he was much younger.

Thanks again everyone-

Well, I placed an order the other day for the dc 50, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all the replies and information!
