If we are to say it is bad judgment or irresponsible to allow a 6 month old to ride in a lap in a golf cart, at what age does this no longer apply?

As adults, we accept the risks of driving in our carts every day. Children, by definition, cannot make that decision themselves. So does that mean we are irresponsible in allowing any non-adult to ride in our golf cart?

While I deplore parents/grandparents holding an infant/child while driving in a golf cart, allowing children to drive them, allowing children to stand while riding, etc., I am just unsure where we draw the line on how old a child needs to be to ride in one.
