My son has ridden behind me since he could reach the foot pegs.
I've always insisted on full gear -- helmet, gloves, boots, mesh jacket and riding pants. Jacket and pants have been especially hard to find. We've had to borrow from the "Dirt Riding" realm, which has a broad range of gear for kids. Street riding gear for kids is almost non-existent in the U.S.; some we've had to import from Europe.
We talk openly about safety with our kids.
How fun to be able to take your son out on the bike in full gear no less. Glad the new bike is working out for you!
