Bike Helmets: Do’s and Don’ts

August 30th, 2010 · No Comments

In continuation with my last post, here are some examples of things we’ve seen on kids that we don’t recommend!

This helmet is situated too far back on the child’s head. It is not secure around his ears.

This helmet is on backwards!

This helmet is snug around his ears. The front of the helmet is going to protect the frontal part of his head, and it will not slip around his head.

I may be preaching to the choir with this post, but, I just see too many silly parents running after kids on bikes with no helmets! Let’s be responsible adults and suggest a helmet to the parent. And, I can honestly say that we have done this on more than one occasion…to the extent of donating our old ones so that heads can be safe!
