* Wearing a kids bike helmet from a young age sets kids up for wearing a helmet as a teen.
* Kids skulls are more breakable and delicate they are more prone to injury
* It's not that much of a hassle to remember to wear a helmet and it can become an automatic reflex, it's not worth the risk to not wear one.
* Helmets come in a wide range of fantastic designs and colours, so look at it as an opportunity to accessorise!
TIPS FOR GETTING KIDS TO WEAR HELMET
* Take them shopping - Include them in the buying process, get them to choose one they love
* Be consistent - tell a kid they must wear a helmet every time, not just sometimes, before long it will become second nature
* Fit is key - Make sure the helmet fits them correctly so it is comfortable.
* Lead by example - Use a helmet yourself consistently, they will want to be like you.
