Bike trailers and helmets

4 replies

VT2023 · 23/09/2025 20:43

I took my DD (10mo) out in our new bike trailer today. My husband and I had disagreed on whether she needed to wear a helmet in it - he thinks no, I’m adamant yes. Anyway, she hated it and cried the whole way home, she was all skewwiff in the trailer - it transpires the trailer we bought isn’t designed with helmets in mind (you buy cheap you buy twice maybe?). I’m annoyed about this now I realise and wish we’d bought one with the mesh section for helmets - alas. Anyway, does anyone have any tips for getting around this? Any help would be much appreciated. TIA.

Can you put a bolster pillow behind her and extend the harness so that there's space for the helmet?

good idea! It looks like some other brands sell boosters so i might try one. Thank you.

No helmet = no wheels
trailer, trike, scooter, bikes of any sort.

Scooters are the worst. Tiny little wheels that flip the scooter forward so easily on any little stone, and then the kid face plants because they don't let go of the handlebars.
