What about these, can't wait to get my son on one as soon as he's old enough

Hmmm, now I'm going to have to look up the rules for bike helmets.
The kid in the pictures seem to be wearing a bike helmet, and I seem to remember that they aren't rated for use on a powered vehicle.

1/ I may be wrong
2/ He's probably not going to be going as fast as we do sometimes
3/ The rules are probably different in the USA, where the bikes originate
4/ I'm probably being picky

I'm no expert on trails rules, but I believe in adults groups helmets are optional, certainly used to be, so not sure about kids groups. And i suspect it would be difficult to find a proper open face helmet for a 3 year old, but if i got one of these for Sam, I agree, no matter how slow, he will be wearing something.

Which then makes me think about something else, he is already riding a balance bike, ie no peddles, just push along (loves going along Brighton sea front on it) and up to now handn't thought about a helmet, but really we should, ummm and then what about when he rides his scooter?????

Oh by the way, the UK distributor for these bikes is in Sussex :-)
