Carbon monoixde poisining ?

[bgoates]

Does towing a trailer with children pose a carbon dioxide poison risk for the children in the trailer. I ask because I was pulling my grandchild with my China engine and the child was asleep within two blocks.

Any comments ?

Thanks

my 2 grand kids love being pulled behind me
the 3 yr old usually crashes
her sister (5) only some times
I used to pull them pre-engine, and they did the same then
when their dad pulls them with his occ stingray with the long pipe, they say it smells bad
...my pipe is aimed straight at the ground in front of the engine, and they say they can't smell it
hope that helps

btw, the chopper pipe also spit oil all over the front of the trailer, I would be more worried about that hitting them than exhaust gases

Yes, that is dangerous. You risk possibly temporarily or permanently injuring your child.

I built an electric bike just for that purpose (to tow my kids in the trailer)

Notice the flex tubing from the muffler to the back of the trailer...

I would be more concerned from from the particulates and other components from the exhaust than the carbon monoxide. I wouldn't want my kid breathing in smokey exhaust.
