I would like to state that I agree with Adam. I understand that you want to show them what the pits are like. I really wish I could have seen stuff like this when I was little. However, can't you show them from the stands? Can't you take them to your team meetings? Both of these will allow them to see FIRST in a way that would not be a danger to them. The pits CAN be dangerous. If they couldn't be, then they would not be so obsessed with safety in the first place. Not that I don't like little kids, (I deal with them all the time) There are just some places they don't belong.

Now, with all of that said... I know that you are probably still going to be taking your kid into the pits. If you would, please take them when it isn't really crowded. We all know that there are times when the pits are nearly empty and there are times that people avoid them because of crowd. Just try and pick a time that the littles one will find interesting without being in any real danger.
