kurtmp3 Posted August 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Has anyone with little ones been on the Bumper Cars on Anthem? We have one that will be 4 years old when we go in January and I don’t want to mention bumper Cars if she won’t be allowed on. Crossing my fingers she would be allowed on as a passenger with me. Was great to hear she could do IFly, anyone taken their little ones on that? Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtmp3 Posted August 11, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 11, 2018 We were on the Anthem a few weeks ago and if I remember under 6 had to be with an adult Thanks for the quick reply Dan. As long as she can go with me we are good. One of those don’t want to set her up for disappointment by telling her it’s an option when it’s not. Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Poohb Posted August 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've seen the crew check the seapass for actual info on the age. Also, please be cautious, I have seen 'whiplash' type injuries and bumps and bruises especially on littler riders due to collisions; their bodies may not be strong enough to take a hard T-bone hit. YES, I've seen some hard hits first hand. It's fun if you're prepared and you're an adult who knows what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted August 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Looks like my daughter just turned ‘five’ now in January :D Thanks for the info Your child's age is verified on boarding and will be linked to her sea pass account. The sports staff member at the entrance of the bumper cars can check the sea pass account if they feel you are lying about your child's age.

Ken at the beach Posted August 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It would not be worth having my child be disappointed after standing in line to be denied because of her age and trying to sneak her in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted August 11, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Looks like my daughter just turned ‘five’ now in January :D Thanks for the info No, your child will still be four as can easily be verified by her sea pass card. If she somehow gets on and is accidentally injured, you wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolesrule Posted August 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The staff has a printed list of names and ages for all youth onboard. They will verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHouseFootball Posted August 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2018 They did not verify last week. I saw them ask several parents how old their child was and took their word for it. They don’t scan sea pass cards. Could they ask to see your child’s card? Certainly. But I did not observe this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonm921 Posted August 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yeah, I would be careful with a 4year old on there. It can be a bit rough. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEUCruiser Posted August 12, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Our 4 year old was really tall (46 inches) and they were very strict and would not let him ride. They checked his sea pass card. He wa so disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted August 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Our son was 4 on our Anthem cruise, and we didn't even try to get him on the bumper cars because we knew the rules. Next cruise he will be 6 so he'll go on with one of us. RCI has these rules for a reason no offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted August 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Some rules don't make much sense. This one does. Wouldn't want to risk potential injuries to a 4 year old on a ride with likely, intentional bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 13, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Even with adults the safety strap goes across the neck and can generate a nasty rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyloves2cruise Posted August 13, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We were on the Anthem in July. Our son turned 5 in April and is about 44 inches tall. They measured him and then looked up our room on an iPad both times we used the bumper cars. I had to ride with him, which is what we preferred—You do get thrown around a bunch and I held on to him the whole time. We also did iFly and my 5 year old did not want to do it after watching the video. However, after watching his brother, parents and grandfather do it, he quickly changed his mind. They were super accommodating and let him join the next group and he absolutely loved it. It was his favorite part of the cruise!

Merion_Mom Posted August 13, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 13, 2018 re: iFly I saw really small children doing it, and asked our instructor about it. He said that they just adjust the force of the windstream. (I pictured the poor kid being blown up and out through the top of the tube! :o :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
