Where can I find a small baby bike helmet?

Lina Q

I bought the coolest bike seat for my baby (iBert T-front bike seat) and I cannot wait to take her out on it. Problem is I cannot find a small enough helmet for her. The smallest I can find is for babies with a head of at least 18.50". I measured her head and its just about 17.5". She is 8 months old. Does anyone know of a good helmet for her age/size?
According to our pediatrician, we were given the go to take her on the bike in a child bike seat. Each child develops at their own pace. My daughter has had full head and neck support for a few months now. She is already taking steps on her own. She will probably be walking completely by the end of her 9 month birthday from what we can see now. I also checked the laws in my State and County and it is allowed.

Answer
Never take a baby that young on a bike, their neck is not strong enough to support their head let alone a helmet. In some states like New York it is against the law to have a child under a year old on a bike or trailer.

Edit: If your pediatrician said it was OK for your child to have a 2 lb helmet on his head at 8 months old I would get another pediatrician.. He or she is very irresponsible suggesting that it would be OK.

There is a very good reason they don't make helmets that small.

Where can you buy a helmet for a 1 year old?

All of the helmets I have seen are for 3+ years, the child seats are for 1 year and up, what helmet do the children wear between the ages of 1 and 3? where can I get one?

Answer
Any specialist bike store which sells seats or trailers for babies will also sell helmets for them. The toy stores tend to have helmets for kids who will be actively playing on bikes.
