Trike Helmets

[SueO]

Dear All:
Posting to see how many of you require your preschoolers to wear bike helmets when they are riding the traditional three wheel preschool trikes. We have trikes for 12 month to 36 month, and some for 36 month to 5 years and we do not require helmet use, currently. Any replies on your approach to helmets would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sue

I have only trikes and do not require helmet use. My daughter's school, which starts at 18 months and has a large paved trike path, also does not have helmets.

I do not require helmets for trikes. Mine ride them in the house.

No helmets for trikes. I do mention in my handbook that parents can provide protective gear for their children.
