My husband always gave our kids a ride sitting on his lap and had one arm securely around them... one child at a time, driving SLOW on FLAT ground. *If more than one child, he put them inside a hog mover he had built for the back of our JD B... it had solid platform and 4 sides made of hog panel with angle iron framing.
We always taught our children that a tractor can do to a person, what a car does to a gopher on the road. Also that they should NEVER EVER go near a running machine of any type... not in front of it, not in back of it, nor approach it from the side because the operator may not see them and they could get run over.

People die in accidents or kids get backed over by vehicles coming out of the garage. Tractors are no different, you do the same thing... teach them young -- but teach them a healthy dose of repect for dangerous machines.
