I have a Bell Bike Trailer, It has a five point safety harness, and she can hold her head up perfect. My question is is it safe for her to use it yet, and what should i do about a helmet? The smallest I have seen is 3+ years, do they make them smaller? Where can I get one if I need it? All Answers appreciated! THANKS! The back of bike carrier seats are for 12 months and up, but I cant even find a helmet that small, the 3+ is HUGE!

Please don't take your 6 month old old on a bike ride. Their head is not strong enough to hold upright by them self let alone with with the added weight of a helmet. There are states like NY that make it illegal to have a child under 1 year old in a trailer or on bike seat.
Be patient, they grow up quickly, just be sure you provide the safest means of transportation available..

I wanted to take my baby out biking, too. But even if a six month old can hold her head up well, it might be really difficult to maintain that with a bike helmet. If she sleeps while riding--and she probably would--her head will tip over and strain her neck as the bike bounces around. If there were an accident, her skull is not fused and her head is still soft in places, so a helmet might not offer as much protection as you might hope. Long story short, it's just not a good idea. They need to be a little older, unfortunately. I hated it, too, but it is probably best to wait. It won't be that long. We probably waiting until age two, which was forever but not really that long. And now my five-year-old has been riding around with me for three and a half years!
I do wish I had a different answer.
