I put my kids on the fair-style pony rides (you can see the seatbelt in this photo: http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/PNWjumper/media/Facebook/4th%20of%20July%20%202010/35061_447382788407_6649936_n_zpsakrjndd2.jpg.html at every 4th of July carnival when they were little. I would never put any sort of a seatbelt on either of my kids on my ponies at home, but never had a problem with it at the fair. It was definitely what allowed me to step back from my 2 1/2 year old daughter (how old she was in the pic above) and let her âride on her own,â which was something she never got to do at home.
Funny, looking at pictures I might think âgosh, so many things could go wrong!â But my gut feeling at the fair was that it was fine. And while nothing ever having happened doesnât mean that it couldnât have, nothing ever went even a little sideways with the ponies and set-up over the years that I watched it locally.
