What are some things I should look for in a bike helmet?
Make sure the bike helmet meets safety standards. Look for an ASTM, Snell or ANSI sticker or the new federal standard certification sticker inside the helmet and on the box. The bike helmet should sit squarely on your child’s head, cover his forehead and not rock side to side or forward to back. Bring your child to the store to try on helmets before you purchase one. Make sure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably when the helmet straps are buckled.
