Helmet Use
Important! Many states have passed helmet laws regarding
children. Make sure you know your state’s helmet laws. It is your
job to enforce these rules with your children. Even if your state
does not have a children’s helmet law, it is recommended that
everyone wear a helmet when cycling. When riding with a child
carrier seat or trailer, children must wear a helmet.
It is strongly advised that a properly fitting, ASTM or SNELL
approved, bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding
your bicycle. In addition, if you are carrying a passenger in a
child safety seat, they must also be wearing a helmet.
The correct helmet should: Figure 1.5
• Be comfortable
• Have good ventilation
• Fit correctly
• Cover forehead
Incorrect helmet position: Figure 1.6
• Helmet does not cover the forehead
