best bike helmet for 5 year old image

They would be riding them in our house, at the playground, and in our parking lot.
The pediatrician handout says to have them wear helmets on tricycles, but it just seems unnecessary to me. They are 2.5 years old and we are getting them their first trikes, so they will be small ones.
I just can't see how a child can get a head injury on a small low to the ground plastic tricycle?
Answer
But any SMALL bump or knock can cause serious head injuries or brain problems.
We told our girls that if they wanted to go on bikes, trikes, roller skates, boards etc they have to wear a helmet.
Not only does it protect them, but it becomes second nature to wearing it. They have no problems wearing their helmet but a friend, who never really has made them wear them, has trouble now that they are that little bit older.
Better safe than sorry.

What steps do I need to take to bring my son into AMA motorcross racing?
softball4e
I have a 5 year old son and I would like him to get into ama racing. I know it is expensive, money isn't much of a problem, but I was wondering what steps I need to take to get him started in it, what age he start, and just things about gear and just general things i should know.
thanks!
Answer
First of all, make sure that HE really wants to do it and it's not just you wanting him to do it, because once you're in, it's hard to get out.
You say he's 5? I think that's a little too young to start actually racing. He's the perfect age to get practiced up so that he can race when he's a little older. I started riding when I was 6 and started racing when I was 11. He could probably start racing when he's 7 or 8 if he really wanted to.
Getting into the racing crowd: Find out where some tracks are around where you live and he can start riding there and get the feel of what a racing track will be like. From there, go to your local dirt bike and ATV dealer and talk to them about local motocross leagues. They should be able to give you some names of people to get ahold of in order to get into racing.
If he doesn't already have a bike, figure out his weight and height and get him a bike he can use for practice, but as he grows, he'll need different bikes.
Gear: For gear, you're looking at up to $2,500 worth of gear. Once he gets into AMA, he'll have sponsors who will pay for some gear and bike stuff. Here's some ballpark prices on the gear he'll need:
Riding Pants: $50+
Jerseys: $40+
Helmet: $100+ (for a real nice one)
Goggles: $25+
Gloves: $10+
Boots: $90+
Racing & Practice bikes: The price of bikes depends on the model, motor size, etc.
Then you also have the price of gas, oil, bike parts, etc.
I think that's about all you really need to know to get started. Hope I helped!!
Good luck to you and your son!
