| *Vultures Knob>>>Bike Helmet |
I have granddaughter 4 months old. Is there a proper, safe, bike helmet for this age? |
They live in Florida, so it is biking is all the time. What helmet do you recommend? I am more concerned about safety not price. Cost not a problem. It takes a minute for a tumble and at this age, so vulnerable. Also what type and brand for a almost 5 year old. Don't you mean four YEARS old? If not, this would be neglectful on your part. Babies are not meant to ride at four months old. They do not have the correct muscles. Bicycling happens after they learn how to walk. Furthermore, they do not have sufficient motor skills at four months. About the helmet: you can search for a child's helmet either online or at a bike shop. (Wal-Mart's selection is too limited). Find one for her size or age. It is better to bring a child to get one fit, that way it stays on better, and works better in a crash. All helmets sold have to meet ANSI II standards, you will see the proof on the packaging. The reason why helmets can cost upward of $300 is because more money buys more vents (serious cyclists like ventilation). Source(s): I work with children, and I am a competitive cyclist. ( I've been doing this since in a serious capacity since I was eight years old.) Yes. I've seen them at Wal-Mart yes, they are currently in the stores. There is no bike helmet safe for this age. At four months they have enough trouble balancing their head to adverse situations. Take my advise wait a few more months. Push them in a stroller for now, you'll still get exercise and the baby will slowly work on balance. Enjoy the granddaughter, your a lucky man. Better not chance it I'm thinking neck muscles arn't strong enough yet. Maybe hold off on this till you ask the pediatrician. jo jo seeker of knowledge |
