bike helmets for 7 month old baby image
Tilly123
Which one would you pick?
The child carrier (basically sits on your bike, behind you.)
The bicycle trailer (one you pull when riding your bike and the child sits closer to the ground.)
Answer
At 7 mos. old a child carrier that attaches to the back of the bike might be great for a short trip, but if the baby falls asleep he/she could potentially fall out of the buckles. It sits way too upright and even though a 7 mos. old sits up really well when awake he/she could get too strained it they had to do it for too long.
I used a bike trailer until my child was a year old and not in the infant car seat anymore. This is why... I was able to put the entire infant car seat in the trailer, buckle my child in safely (because it's hard to find helmets that fit a 7 mos old and you don't have to worry about the child pulling it off). I knew my child would be comfortable and I didn't worry what was happening behind me. I felt it was much safer.
Obviously this decision is yours to make, but I would invest in the trailer because you can use it for years and I personally believe it's much safer for a young child, especially if you can fit the car seat in~

Bicycle safety?
Jordie
I recently bought a bicycle with the rear child seat attached. I bought it used at a thrift store so it didnt have safety instructions for the seat.
How old does the child have to be before they can ride in it? My 7 month old sits up perfectly by herself and is very strong. But I cant find a safety helmet for anyone under age 3. I have tried walmart and toys'r'us.
Can I put my daughter in the seat? Do they make safety helmets for young babies? If so, where can I find one?
Thanks for any help!
Answer
I believe all bike seats and bike trailers require a child to be at least 1 year. There are helmets available for toddlers, but I believe they also say for 1 year and older. Our local hospital does fittings and helmet sales but only for children over 1 year.
