They live in Florida, so it is biking is all the time. What helmet do you recommend? I am more concerned about safety not price. Cost not a problem. It takes a minute for a tumble and at this age, so vulnerable. Also what type and brand for a almost 5 year old.
Answer
Don't you mean four YEARS old? If not, this would be neglectful on your part. Babies are not meant to ride at four months old. They do not have the correct muscles. Bicycling happens after they learn how to walk. Furthermore, they do not have sufficient motor skills at four months.
About the helmet: you can search for a child's helmet either online or at a bike shop. (Wal-Mart's selection is too limited). Find one for her size or age. It is better to bring a child to get one fit, that way it stays on better, and works better in a crash.
All helmets sold have to meet ANSI II standards, you will see the proof on the packaging. The reason why helmets can cost upward of $300 is because more money buys more vents (serious cyclists like ventilation).

are carbon fiber helmets safe for everyday use?

compared to a regular helmet? and what is the safest helmet for road biking?
Answer
Only Wal-Mart has $30 helmets now and... vented? Really John? Shopped helmets lately? I think you are talking about the $70 price point now days.
I agree all helmets must pass the same testing -- they are all the safest. Don't use one that has a manufacture date of more than 5 years old.
A carbon fiber helmet therefore is safe as any helmet for everyday use. Just a lot more expensive. If you are looking in that $200 price point (where carbon fiber helmets hang out) you might consider a Catlike. A little different looking with the round vent holes but once you try one you really want it. Very cool in the heat.
I have a Giro Monza I found on sale at Performance for $79.00. Huge difference in cooling over the past 3 more economical helmets I have owned. In the hot humid weather it cured the sweat drips that used to get on my glasses -- yes that much cooler.
Helmets don't protect from concussions, rather only from skull fractures. READ: http://www.bicycling.com/senseless/ Not peculiar to bicycle helmets as even football helmets as heavy and padded as they are can't protect from concussions. So if you do hit your head while riding --even with a helmet-- go to a doctor and be checked for concussion symptoms.
