Hi,
Squat'n Dive wrote: What do I need a helmet for? I don't wear one, does my kid need a helmet? Though I agree with you, helmet-hysteria has reached absurd levels here - I regularly see small children wearing a helmet while using a Bobbycar or a trike - some even when walking. You might even get mobbed for your child not wearing a helmet by "concerned adults"... When you actually look at the helmets most children wear, they're badly fitting or loose (and might not help the child at all). Also be careful to prevent your child from wearing a helmet on a playground, because that may lead to injury. But when putting your child into a "rack" seat, it might be ok to put a helmet on your child, because the bike might fall over and the child has basically no way of protecting itself - plus the helmet might actually work in this scenario. This is talking about the bike standing (not while cycling). Then again, I do wonder how much some parents seem to hate their kids - forcing them to wear a helmet in that child seat while wearing a backpack themselves... Ciao... |
