Are you guys putting helmets on LO when you ride on things like Radio Flyer trikes? If so, where did you get them? I am wondering if I should try to get LO used to it now. Also, even though he is strapped in, I have come close to tipping the bike a couple times on sidewalk bumps.

If she shows interest in a trike or anything like that come spring, we will get her a helmet. I'll probably go to a bike shop and have them fit it to her head so I don't buy one too big or too small.

I'd stick the kid in a helmet as soon as they want to ride a bike/trike, so that it becomes automatic and no big deal later on. It's definitely a rule in this house. It drives me BANANAS that the kids across the street don't ever, and the older one is always riding in the street. We live on a court/short street, but some people just scream into the road and never look. I fear for them.

LO has only used his little strider in the house, so we haven't used a helmet. As soon as he starts taking it outside it's time for a helmet.
At this point, he just stands over the bike and pushes it around, hasn't even really started sitting on it and scooting around, so I think it'll be a little while yet.
When it's time - I saw the best safety reviews for this helmet by specialized:
I know we will too.When my in laws got helmets for my nephews they let them wear them around the house to get used to them before they got on their bikes with them.I think we'll do that too since Gia isn't always happy with new things!

I didnt get him one yet bc right now he has a harness and bars that trap him inside. I may get one this summer if i take the bars off. (I think thats the next step) Id like to get him a "cool" helmet. Spiderman? Mohawk? Something like that.

I was thinking this exact same thing today when O out KJ on the radio flyer for the first time! I want her to get used to it.
