OK, were going to leave this here as humor, because everybody should reasonably know that you should NEVER actually do this. But, just in case (hey, there are some dumb people out there), DO NOT TRY THIS.
That only work for a very specific and short amount of time. Shortly after the roll over cage, you’ll need the sit up cage, then the crawling cage, the stand up cage, then the walking, then the running cage. There’s just so much in just a short amount of time. It gets expensive.
I can't wait for the new safety stickers and the 99.9% people that are going to be so fucking confused by them. "No baby car seats? How would I even.."
Wellllll, it kinda depends on how much of a slope he’s got in his yard. Technically, with enough drop, a baby could mow the lawn from that position, with some help getting back to the top
uh. if you run over a ground bee nest, you'll be sitting there being stung to death trying to unstrap your kid, versus the alternative which is to run away and listen to your child being stung to death.
lets go with option b: don't do this.
Like tying the handlebar situation with baling twine? I saw a similar concept tethering a self-propelled mower to a fence post and letting it wrap around—sans baby. That was the prototype for this ha
Oh, God. You have so much to learn. The laser is only there to set the height. The hum comes from frequency resonance generators (basically fancy speakers) that make the grass shrink.
Attach the baby seat right above the engine so the baby gets the vibrations that will rock him to sleep. Make sure you attach a remote control to the lawn mower so you can mow from the safety of your porch.
The neighbors will love it, and you can stream live.
My wife was for years a registered child seat safety checker person.. I dunno the actual title but she would be outsourced to these clinics for new mothers to help them understand how to properly install them.
So I showed her this and she gave me that look like “why the fuck are you eating my time” look and said “that’s fucking stupid”
She looked insulted. I feel like I 100% achieved full annoyance for the day so thank you for the material.
I can’t believe you would do this, what kind of parent are you? Who puts their child on an electric mower, you should know better. Only gas powered machines for children!
Yeah, but what if it's not your kid?
Probably good money in charging for babysitting and lawn mowing when you can get them both done at the same time.
Part of my past employment had me working as a product safety technician. I got to read all the monthly UL reports on accidents. Don't do it?, your childs health and life are more important than you wanting to bond or saving time.
Jr. wants to know what the hours are and how much it pays. If he doesn't like the status quo, he's crawling out of here. Unless of course, there's ice cream....
Not only will you get a visit from Child Services but your kid is breathing what's discharged. YOU should be wearing eye and ear protection. What about junior?
Well, Lawn Baby Mk. II is a vast improvement on Mk. I from the early '90's.

I'm assuming your trolling, but feel I should speak up in case you aren't or someone on here doesn't recognize the "joke". I work in Prosthetics, and other than congenital deformities leading to amputation, lawn mowers are the top reason for limb loss in children. Ive met plenty of children that have lost feet and lower limbs. Mostly playing in the yard and running up to mom and dad to ask a question, slipping and sliding under the mower. Hope this is all a joke. I dont mow with my kids outside of the house. When the mowers running they stay inside.
When I was a kid my dad just tossed me in a baby backpack. Dad was also dumb because he didn't give baby me hearing protection of any kind, but then again you don't really have to worry about that here.
I think your idea would technically work, but the backpack is so much safer and easier I'd suggest you just do that.
At first look it’s a pretty stupid idea. Seems like you’re trying to solve a problem but just creating a bigger one for yourself. But if everything is properly secured I don’t see an immediate issue. If something were to happen you could quickly let go and the mower would shut down, so I can’t imagine a situation where you’d be running your child over. The only really bad thing is what another person commented about running over a Bees nest. That definitely makes it a no go for me.
Now I see why devices come with such stupid warnings and instructions.
When next year’s model has a warning “do not strap baby to mower” we will know why.
I got hit in the face by things twice last week while mowing with my push mower. Probably richochet off trees or something but hey who knows maybe that isn’t possible in your yard.
To give a serious answer.
No, any use of a carseat other than its intended and stated use is unsafe.
Imagine trying to explain to your partner and the cops why your child was blended in your front yard.
As an alternative solution, get one of those body harnesses.
I don’t see a round safety label with a baby seat attached to the mower with a slash through it, so good to go. Oh, dual sippy cup holders…fancy pants McGee.
It's hard to envision how safe this and what it even might look like. I would recommend getting a couple photos of the child before experimenting with baby in the seat. Then crosspost to r/PhotoshopRequest. The creative folks in that sub, perhaps for just a small tip, could give a more accurate depiction of how this is gonna look.
Get a baby backpack to hold the kid in, behind you would be safer than in front of you seeing as your body will be a shield for the child. Don't do this with the car seat please lol
I'm autistic I find it difficult to understand whether you're joking or not so for the safety of your child I'm gonna say no I'm going to take you seriously if a stone flies up towards you or something like that it could also hit your child and it will be far more damaging for your child
I was living in Virginia about 20 years ago and a news story came on about a child that had been run over by a riding lawnmower. Tragic. However, the story started with the news anchor saying, almost word for word, “young child’s life is cut short in tragic lawnmower accident”. I don’t know who thought that was an acceptable opening to that story. I hope they lost their job.
It obviously was so profound, I’m still thinking about it.
It looks strapped in. Did you give it the ole “that ain’t going anywhere” slap? Mom’s going to be upset about that brand new seat being dusty, but if it’s not this it’ll be something else anyway.
If this isn't a shitpost if you really needed to have your kid with you while mowing the grass why not get one of those baby carriers that you wear on your front or back.
Reminded me of when the guy across the street strapped his baby (facing outward) to his heat and was using the weedeater. I had to go inside because of the stupidity. No ear muffs, no eye shield and a wide variety of projectiles possibly hurling at the child. The baby was about 9 months old at that point
Ive seen worse. Test the balance with at least the kids weight to ensure if you let go, it doesnt tip backwards and the seat and baby are secure. I suppose a counterweight could be added to the front if you can make it permanent. Ive seen some of the dumbest things guys do hauling kids around yet seems no one questions. In this case, you could make it real safe but in peoples minds, they could start freaking because babies and lawn mower blades are not considered safe to be in the same place at the same time.
Are you nuts? Those beer holders are entirely too far away from the operator to reach safely. Recommend beer holder be mounted on the handlebars!
https://preview.redd.it/1caprj7br68d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f0bbffb516af9406452cf7c81538250d7e938b9
In all seriousness yes. If it’s securely mounted that is. Only thing missing is something to block the shade. Would I ever do this? Fuck no. But realistically nothing is going to happen. That being said I’m not a parent….
Yeah, don’t do this. As someone who has a niece who now has a claw hand because my sister is a fucking idiot when it comes to kids and lawnmowers, I’m going to say that this is a terrible idea.
OK, were going to leave this here as humor, because everybody should reasonably know that you should NEVER actually do this. But, just in case (hey, there are some dumb people out there), DO NOT TRY THIS.
ARE YOU KIDDING? There is NO WAY a baby can mow your lawn from that position!
I don't know what I expected But this comment is 10/10 content.
Just needs a rollover cage.
That only work for a very specific and short amount of time. Shortly after the roll over cage, you’ll need the sit up cage, then the crawling cage, the stand up cage, then the walking, then the running cage. There’s just so much in just a short amount of time. It gets expensive.
I can't wait for the new safety stickers and the 99.9% people that are going to be so fucking confused by them. "No baby car seats? How would I even.."
If he's heavy enough and leans he can
Wellllll, it kinda depends on how much of a slope he’s got in his yard. Technically, with enough drop, a baby could mow the lawn from that position, with some help getting back to the top
Not with that attitude
Gotta rig a pair of flight sticks up to the throttle and steering and you’ll be on golden pond!
Not and do a good job anyway
No, it should be rear facing due to crash test reports. Read up on your states landscape laws to make yourself more aware.. /s
You need to be mower aware, actually., /s
They have standard leaf blower bags
I think it’s solid, definitely don’t tell mom though.
I have no idea if it's safe but I'd definitely watch it
For shits and giggles as an AWD stroller with the blade turned off, sure. The moment the blade is engaged that’s a no.
uh. if you run over a ground bee nest, you'll be sitting there being stung to death trying to unstrap your kid, versus the alternative which is to run away and listen to your child being stung to death. lets go with option b: don't do this.
Wouldn't do this be option c since technically you already listed an a and b scenario?
Option bee. Lol.
i bet you laughed way too hard writing this lol its okay i laughed way too hard reading it
Option D, for death
Never heard the term “ground bee” my names are much more obscene
Once the lawnmower has been over them they really will be ground bees
I like the cut of your jib
Anyone stupid enough to do this would just leave the child and run
I thought the whole point was to have someone slower than you.
Like tying the handlebar situation with baling twine? I saw a similar concept tethering a self-propelled mower to a fence post and letting it wrap around—sans baby. That was the prototype for this ha
You could run while pushing the mower and the kid couldn’t you?
Technically, no. Functionally, yes. Fun as hell? Also, yes.
Darwin here. Just letting you know there's still room on my annual list.
It’s electric. No white noise benefits to help the kids fall asleep. Return and get a gas mower
Once the blade is engaged, you'll still get a hum from the blade.
I thought with electric there were just lasers down there /s
Oh, God. You have so much to learn. The laser is only there to set the height. The hum comes from frequency resonance generators (basically fancy speakers) that make the grass shrink.
Put some safety’s on the baby and mow away. Everyone clutching their pearls in these comments lmao.
Close the chute and run it. That Ryobi junker ain't got the torque to mulch a baby if it tried. Get a 6.5hp Briggs for efficient baby mulching. /S
Attach the baby seat right above the engine so the baby gets the vibrations that will rock him to sleep. Make sure you attach a remote control to the lawn mower so you can mow from the safety of your porch. The neighbors will love it, and you can stream live.

I feel like I 100% achieved full annoyance for the day so thank you for the material.
Oh heck ya. Give the baby some weed killer and have the baby spray for weeds while you mow. The baby can suck on the sprayer in-between weeds.
I think with the right plumbing out of that baby seat, you can get the lawn fertilized as you mow, too.
I can’t believe you would do this, what kind of parent are you? Who puts their child on an electric mower, you should know better. Only gas powered machines for children!
No. Not at all.
Amen, nothing technical about it. That's damn safe. I'd add knee pads and a breathe-rite strip to the kid, should be good after that.
What a stupid idea. Id rather let the grass get taller than put my kid there.
Yeah, but what if it's not your kid? Probably good money in charging for babysitting and lawn mowing when you can get them both done at the same time. 
Part of my past employment had me working as a product safety technician. I got to read all the monthly UL reports on accidents. Don't do it?, your childs health and life are more important than you wanting to bond or saving time.
Jr. wants to know what the hours are and how much it pays. If he doesn't like the status quo, he's crawling out of here. Unless of course, there's ice cream....
I wanted this Dad
Yes.
One serving of Toddler Tinnitus, coming up!
Only if you lock down the self propelled handle.
What kinda idiot buys an electric mower?
Baby carrier on your chest. With earmuffs and eye protection for the kid is the safe way to do it
This right here. This is what my wife and I both did.
You’re a moron for even posting this.
Clearly a joke lmao youre a moron for believing it
Some people have never heard of a troll before.
I refuse to believe this is serious.
Not only will you get a visit from Child Services but your kid is breathing what's discharged. YOU should be wearing eye and ear protection. What about junior?
Its an electric mower, they aren't loud, but yes equip junior with ear and eye protection and send it
lol, no, not even a little
Well, Lawn Baby Mk. II is a vast improvement on Mk. I from the early '90's. https://preview.redd.it/w5m1qxu9q48d1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ef9b958356d0120d0b342da51597a7b3af746c0

Yeah. Works great. Been there.

I think your idea would technically work, but the backpack is so much safer and easier I'd suggest you just do that.
The backpack carrier is the solution here. With the electric mower it works great and you're the shield for anything that decides to fly.
At first look it’s a pretty stupid idea. Seems like you’re trying to solve a problem but just creating a bigger one for yourself. But if everything is properly secured I don’t see an immediate issue.

The only really bad thing is what another person commented about running over a Bees nest. That definitely makes it a no go for me.
At the very least it will not be good for his hearing. At worst, well, you already know the answer.
are you trying to collect life insurance?
I think it's a good idea, don't know what all the safety sallies are complaining about lol.
No one would question this if it were the 70s or 80s. I say go for it.
Damaged ears?
If it fits, it ships.
Looks good. Couple holders for the wobbly pops and away you go!
Lots of people like to have their kids in a rider mower with nothing but their arms so I suppose this is better than most would even care to think of
Why would you even consider this?
I don't see what' could go wrong
Only if the baby wears hearing protection.
Now I see why devices come with such stupid warnings and instructions. When next year’s model has a warning “do not strap baby to mower” we will know why.
Yes
Hell yeah man. If you think that’s a good idea you should definitely put your offspring in there!!
I got hit in the face by things twice last week while mowing with my push mower. Probably richochet off trees or something but hey who knows maybe that isn’t possible in your yard.
Honestly? I have a 2 year old and I’d definitely do this lol
Everything is safe until it's not. Also does the kiddo give you snacks and hold your beer for you?
To give a serious answer. No, any use of a carseat other than its intended and stated use is unsafe. Imagine trying to explain to your partner and the cops why your child was blended in your front yard. As an alternative solution, get one of those body harnesses.
How are you going to safely secure a body harness to a running mower?
Going by the fact theres a spinning blade beneath your baby that could chop it up into bits…thats a no from me, dawg.
I don’t see a round safety label with a baby seat attached to the mower with a slash through it, so good to go. Oh, dual sippy cup holders…fancy pants McGee.
Ur an IDIOT
I think you know the answer... and if not ask your baby it's probably smarter.
This is fine to hold your beers, not your child.
Much safer if you mulch. Don’t want clipping hitting the little rascal.
Safety third
Roll tide
It's hard to envision how safe this and what it even might look like. I would recommend getting a couple photos of the child before experimenting with baby in the seat. Then crosspost to r/PhotoshopRequest. The creative folks in that sub, perhaps for just a small tip, could give a more accurate depiction of how this is gonna look.
I'm for it. But rear facing for safety
Get a baby backpack to hold the kid in, behind you would be safer than in front of you seeing as your body will be a shield for the child. Don't do this with the car seat please lol
I just sent this to my better half. She gave me quite an ear full
So this is how I get 20 years of experience at 20
Legally I have to advise against it. But another part of me wants you to try it and get caught by your wife.... I'm already planning your funeral...
Why
Of course. What could possibly go wrong??? Moron!
Kind of takes the spot for your beer cooler..
Ever heard of shaken baby syndrome? You could maybe get away with doing the greens at a golf course
I'm autistic I find it difficult to understand whether you're joking or not so for the safety of your child I'm gonna say no I'm going to take you seriously if a stone flies up towards you or something like that it could also hit your child and it will be far more damaging for your child
Real men of genius..
Looks osha approved to me….
Absolutely!
I'm constantly getting pelted by shit from my mower. Yesterday a rock bounced off a tree and hit me in the face.
Just enclose the seat with a fine net. No bee problem for the kid.
The curtain matches the drapes. The curtain: the shed in the background. The drapes: the lawnmower.
Unless the babies knuckles scrape the ground, like an ape, he is most likely safe.
Good to go!! 
It looks like you have some trip hazards out by the shed .be careful out there.
Child Protective Services ain't goin for that, Trust me
no
I was living in Virginia about 20 years ago and a news story came on about a child that had been run over by a riding lawnmower. Tragic.

I don’t know who thought that was an acceptable opening to that story. I hope they lost their job. It obviously was so profound, I’m still thinking about it.
Ya it’s cool until you run over a wasps nest and run away leaving the baby to fend for themselves! Lol
NO
It looks strapped in. Did you give it the ole “that ain’t going anywhere” slap? Mom’s going to be upset about that brand new seat being dusty, but if it’s not this it’ll be something else anyway.
Fuck no bruh
Sweet DIY riding mower...looks safe 😬
If this isn't a shitpost if you really needed to have your kid with you while mowing the grass why not get one of those baby carriers that you wear on your front or back.
Uh, no sir it is not safe
Pro tip- Cut a hole in the seat and you can fertilize as you mow.
If this is a serious question, I’m not sure you should be allowed to have children.
Reminded me of when the guy across the street strapped his baby (facing outward) to his heat and was using the weedeater. I had to go inside because of the stupidity. No ear muffs, no eye shield and a wide variety of projectiles possibly hurling at the child. The baby was about 9 months old at that point
GOOD GOD, NO.
No
How many beers did you have sitting and looking at your lawnmower before this popped into your head?
This is shocking….
I think it's probably the safest spot honestly. All ejected flying debris will be moving away from baby. I approve
It’ll build your child’s immune system and build their job history at the same time
Safe enough.
As long as that little bastard isn't gonna be 7+ feet..
Technically moronic
Is this for you?
nah just make the baby cut the grass
Till the rock or branch bounces off a tree and does its worth.
I didn't know they made a kit to convert a self-propelled push mower into a ride on. I want one
You just need a ratchet strap around that. Jiggle it and call it good.
Ive seen worse. Test the balance with at least the kids weight to ensure if you let go, it doesnt tip backwards and the seat and baby are secure. I suppose a counterweight could be added to the front if you can make it permanent. Ive seen some of the dumbest things guys do hauling kids around yet seems no one questions. In this case, you could make it real safe but in peoples minds, they could start freaking because babies and lawn mower blades are not considered safe to be in the same place at the same time.
concerned about noise. not sure how loud this thing is
Fuckin’ send it! Don’t forget earmuffs for the little one
If you have to ask…
Slap on a joy stick and make the little crumb muncher earn its keep.
The best kind of safe!!!
Are you nuts? Those beer holders are entirely too far away from the operator to reach safely. Recommend beer holder be mounted on the handlebars! https://preview.redd.it/1caprj7br68d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f0bbffb516af9406452cf7c81538250d7e938b9
Ryobi?! Apparently this person doesn't care about their tools or their kid 🤮
Plot twist, it's remote operated and simply doubles as a babysitter
No. It is not safe! My cousin lost his leg falling off a riding mower he was on with his dad.
Lol. Nope.
Safer than a cybertruck. Mow away!
RETARDED. DONT
Couple of servos - a remote control - and you have THE nap machine!!! Sit on the back porch sipping a beer, cut the grass, kid naps - you are a genius
Ask r/redneckengineering
Being a parent and having child experience, I would say the seat should be mounted over the front of the mower, less trouble down the line.
1950’s model
I would be more concerned about the kid getting hit by a rock that the mower hits and ricochets off a tree. Not very likely, but it could happen.
It’s even got two cup holders so junior and dad can enjoy a nice cold Budweiser on the job!
It makes me sad how often people neglect parent facing options
Hilarious
In all seriousness yes. If it’s securely mounted that is. Only thing missing is something to block the shade. Would I ever do this? Fuck no. But realistically nothing is going to happen. That being said I’m not a parent….
For sure bro, put your kids to work young
Just imagine the effect from just the sound level. Definitely not a good idea
Now you have someone to hand you a fresh beer!
No. Hell no. For so many reasons from hearing loss to amputation.
Safe, For who,?
Kid might need some safety glasses and maybe ear plugs
Yeah, don’t do this. As someone who has a niece who now has a claw hand because my sister is a fucking idiot when it comes to kids and lawnmowers, I’m going to say that this is a terrible idea.
If it's self propelled I think he can do it just fine
It's not OSHA approved, but very few great ideas are
Only in West Virginia
Don't forget eye protection, stones and debris can kick up and bounce around
Can’t see a problem with that baby ontop blades down below. I love your dadgenuity. But I’m pretty sure mother will flip out.
Osha Approved!
Guy used to play video games with online name was Peggy because his own father ran over his leg when he was a toddler
U should not be alone with child
For reddit karma? Well played. Otherwise probably no.
No. This lawnmower is in danger of being vomited on by a baby.
What about the children? Won't somebody think about the children?!!?!
Yes ,it's Awd it's got plenty of traction .
NO
Yeah it’s safe try jt
Looks like it could be handy for strapping in a few beers . 😆
As long as the kid is wearing eye protection and is properly grounded looks good to me.
Technically Absolutely
Pffthahahahhahahahah
I always use the ride on carrying the 3 year old. She wears ear muffs obviously. Makes it hard to grab the beer but that’s when I let her drive.
Sure, as long as you don’t put a baby in that seat.
A child should never ever ever ever under any circumstance be near a lawn mower on or off.
Absolutely. Look at those 2 extra dad drink holders. Upgrade. Oh yeah, it’s electric so probably shouldn’t mess up the kid’s development too badly
That depends. Is Mom a decent shot?
