see i never did as a child, and neither did anyone i know.. but should you make your kid? If you are going out riding with them?>
 
I make my kids and even if they go skating or riding their scooters. Head trauma is serious and all to common.
 
your child should ALWAYS no matter what wear a helmet till they at 14, where i live its a law for anyone under 16 but if you dont have that law then definitely under 14, how guilty will you feel if they have an accident and get a concussion or worse, brian damage all because you didnt make them wear a helmet? maybe it doesnt happen often but it does happen, better safe then sorry right?
 
It's the law here that anyone under 18 has to wear a helmet. So yes I do.
 
It's against the law in most states

In the state I live in, If you ride your bike to school at 16 with out an helmet, you can get a ticket. If you ride your Motorcycles to school with out an helmet, it's legal

Most people try not to teach their children to break the law, even if they think the law is dumb
 
i never did as a child, either, and that ended up giving me a concussion.

yes, my kids wear helmets. it's still plenty of fun regardless of what you're wearing on your head.
 
My child isn't old enough yet to ride a bike but yes i will make my child wear a helmet. As a child i took many nasty spills even when my parents where with me. Also i seen a boy get into a bad bike accident right in front of my house. he was life flighted to a big hospital half his skull was showing and his ear was partly ripped off.
 
Yes and depending on the state you live in it could be a law! How horrible would you feel if you didn't enforce a helmet and you fell with your child on your bike or he/she fell and had a serios head injury you would regret asking yourself this question for possibly the rest of your life! Play it safe.
 
YES. Would you like to have a dumb kid? Helmets are both law and a must unless you'd like to have a paralyzed kid who can't think.
 
yes, my kid wear helmet when they ride their bike. Before we don't even have to use carseat when riding in car, but we know better now how to protect our children. Why not.
 
yes... i was always made to wear my helmet its for their own safety.... also make sure it covers their forehead not just the back,
 
Yes. I don't know how old you are, but they didn't even have car seats when I was little. I would never put my kid in the car without a car seat now. It's just a safety thing. I didn't wear a helmet when bike riding either. My kids do.
