[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and my 11 year old can ride his bike faster and more safely across the street than my 7 year old.  And sometimes older siblings are jerks to their younger siblings.

I think many posters are recalling their childhood through rose colored glasses. If you had an older sibling, then you'd remember getting ditched or struggling to keep up.

Another thought: height. Drivers can easily see my 11 year old (he's tall), but my 7 year old is on the short side...so are the Meitiv kids (both of them). [/quote]

If the older sibling doesn't want to go with the younger sibling, that's one thing. But what if the older sibling does want to go with the younger sibling?

Also, are you suggesting that the laws should be height-related, like roller coaster rides? For example: you must be at least 4 feet 5 inches tall to walk home from the park by yourself; if you are under 4 feet 5 inches tall, you must be accompanied by somebody who is at least 5 feet tall. That would be really hard on the adults I know who are 4 feet 11.[/quote]
