Re: Little Scout in Production - Production Release Early Spring 2004

Robert, Christine,

Congratulations!  You'll have a great time.  Christine is going to pass on
any rough rides the last few months, but after that....

It may be a bit premature to give up offroading.  Weren't you going to
figure out a way to strap the infant seat in the back of the Scout.  That
shouldn't be too hard.  I'd stay away from serious rock crawling maybe.
That's probably not good for a newborns but kids are way tougher than you
think and if you enjoy it so will they.

Kids love the outdoors!  Much better for them than video games.  Don't wait
till they're addicted to the video games and cartoons.  Then it's usually
too late.

You'll have lots of fun.

Steve
