Kids keep bumping Forward Reverse switch while driving

If that is the best you have learned from BGW, I feel for you.... We seem to do pretty well around here. And if you find that hard, you may want to not go any further.

I will get the Dremel out in the morning and make the proper cut, and then seal the old hole properly.

I'm sure with the proper training and guidance you can get through this.

Maybe not. Perhaps you should take it to a shop.

Just break off or cut the tab, dude. It’s not a submarine.

This is on my DS. Putting the switch upside down has worked good for me.

Flipping the switch upside down did the trick for my kids' overactive feet while riding too.

My daughter does the same thing at 3 while she’s riding on my lap. It does no harm to the cart and it’s kinda funny when it happens so I’ve left it alone.

You may have taken what I said the wrong way. This place is a vast wealth of both archived information and experienced people. I am thankful for everything I have learned.

Does your cart come to a complete and immediate halt when it happens? My 3yo went flying from the seat and smacked his head on the dash before ending up in the footwell. "Kinda funny" it was not.
