Red Robin Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Anyone know where I can get a helmet for a baby/toddler? My lightie is 10 months old and I just bought a baby chair for my bike as well as one of those platic motor bikes. We won't allow him to use either till I get a helmet. Was at my LBS today and they only had ones for about a 4 year old. They said they can order but it's pricey(about 800) and I should try a baby toy shop or even possibly makro. Problem is at this age he will probably only use it for a few months then it's too small. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk Try Game as they used to have smaller helmets. I cant remember the brand though and they were in blue or pink only. Unfortunately be prepared to purchase quite a few helmets as they do grow out of them rather quickly.

It has a ratchet at the back and on the smallest setting it just fits him. Paid R330. The quality doesn't look too bad. It has a sticker inside saying it conforms to this standard and that regulation. Not like he can get up to strava KOM speeds on a plastic motorbike anyway. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk

TCTG Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Maybe this is a rhetorical question or the answer lies in simple economics BUT why are helmets becoming so expensive?
Velouria Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Maybe this is a rhetorical question or the answer lies in simple economics BUT why are helmets becoming so expensive? Because, after years of successful lobbying for helmet laws, helmet companies now have a captured market that is shrinking because of those same laws?
