Why your child should wear a helmet on a bike, skateboard or scooter:

* Wearing a helmet can reduce the chance of a head injury by 80% * 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.
